Drag and drop files

[NotNull]

The file manager I use the most - Q-Dir - does not function as a drop target when Everything is the source.
That is hardly Everything's fault; Q-Dir has trouble with multiple file managers (see screenshot)

Before reporting this issue with it's developer, I would like to know what API / method / ... Everything uses for dragging files.
That way it would be much easier to find a solution (at least that is what I hope).

Everything uses the IDropSource interface.

Everything implements its own IDropSource interface.
An IDataObject is created with CF_HDROP data of all the source files and folders.
DoDragDrop is called to begin the drag drop operation.
The default IDragSourceHelper is used to create the drag image.

Thank you !!!

(Does Q-Dir author actually make substantive changes [or even evolutionary changes] to [any of] his programs?
[I don't pay too much attention but] generally all I see are bug fixes, typically for things broken by Win10 "feature" updates.)

The author is very active, but his communication and the website are quite - let's call it - unstructured ( that's the moment when you realize that we, the Everything community, are terribly spoiled )

Every week or so there is an update for Q-Dir. Most with a cryptic description "general improvements".
I posted quite a few suggestions and the ones that were honored (thus far) also ended up as "general improvements"
That is to say: the ones that I noticed; communication is minimal.


Semi on topic: I also suggested integrating Everything as he is experimenting with search functionality. Who knows what will happen in the future ...

And off topic: What happened to your Altap Salamander?

Nothing.
Except now free.
IOW (mostly) the same as it ever was.

Possible no future updates?
But here's hoping .

Doesn't change its' usefulness.

Ah, all right; I thought you were looking for a different file manager ...

With the help of this info, Q-Dir is now fixed.
Thank you!
