I cant this morning Zhakathoom but maybe I should have a look at what you seeing/doing with you and see if we can work it out. PM me if you would like to do this.

Thanks for the reply Damned.

Not sure I understand what you mean, but since everything except the drag and drop functionality seems to work now I'm not to bothered. I might uninstall and reinstall on my stationary PC just to check if that remedies anything. BTW; will a uninstall do anything to the DATA folder? Will I need to back up not to loose my campaign, or will it be left alone?

No worries Zhakathoom - if its close to fully working keep it as is.
You should make a habit of backing up your campaigns subdirectory to another location.
Uninstalling (on a PC) should not cause you any data loss - but as above make sure you backup your campaigns folder at a minimum.
Other folders you might like to backup include \tokens \extensions \modules \portraits \rulesets

Thanks again for the great help!
If a reinstall fixes the drag&drop I'll let you know.

Are you running FG as administrator (i.e. the app has elevated privileges)? This can be set on the shortcut (usually on the "compatibility" tab of the shortcut properties). Windows blocks certain operations (like drag/drop) for applications running with elevated privileges. I've just done a test and running as administrator (right-click -> Run as Administrator) disabled image file drag/drop. Running normally works fine.

Here's an old article about this (2010), but it appears to be still valid: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pat...trol-and-uipi/

Ah! Fantastic Trenloe! I was just about to do the reinstall when I read your post, and indeed you are correct! Disabling "run as administrator" (which I turned on due to having saving troubles initially) totally fixed the drag&drop issue. It now works flawlessly.
Thanks!

Well, almost flawless. The add functionality works, but I can't delete the pictures from the ingame "skull" option on the rightclick menu. When I delete the pictures they get removed from the ingame list, but not the folder, so they are added back into the images and maps window again. I need to remove them from the folder manually. Is this as intended?
(And again I noticed that my "data" folder has turned back onto read only. Is this something FG does, or is it an issue on my end? I'm obviously not that computer savvy.. Turning read only off does nothing to the delete functionality.)

Yep, that's intended. Delete them from the /images directory through windows explorer.

Ah, we're all good then. Thanks yet again.
