Describe the bug After Upgrade to Version: 0.11.0-1 Drag and Drop is not working in the Files Sidebar. I can't move a file to a different folder nor drag in a hyperlink to that file into the document I'm editing.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Files Sidebar'
2. Click on 'any file shown'
3. Try to drag the file to a new location or into the document
4. Nothing happens.

Expected behavior It used to be possible to do this. Confirmed that rolling back to version 0.10.11 removes the issue. i.e. This issue does not exist in Version: 0.10.11

Typora Version 0.11.0

@storyjesse I'm not able to reproduce this, so possible to attach a screencast about this issue?

[storyjesse]

Hi @abnerlee I've just tried to record a video of my desktop showing you the error. But something is going wrong with my recording. Kazam seems to work for short videos and I've used it for a long 40min video before, but I've tried twice now to record about 5 to 10 min of video but nothing is hanppening when I click finish. :-( Will try again tomorrow.

[storyjesse]

OK I've got Kazam working now. Here's a link to a video showing the bug. https://youtu.be/mbPPVz2WMaw

I can confirm this issue. I'm currently on 0.11.2(beta) and drag and drop is not working.

I'm on Manjaro Linux. Please feel free to ask for the information you need to trace down this issue.

[joel-porquet]

I've also been having this issue for the past few weeks. I can no longer move files between different folders using the mouse in the sidebar. I'm on ArchLinux, Typora version 0.11.5 (beta).

[GamalielMasters]

I can also reproduce this issue running ArchLinux with Typora 0.11.8(beta). An attempt to begin a drag acts like a click selecting the item and any following movement acts as if no button is pressed.

Just walked back down the available versions, and had to revert all the way back to 0.10.11 to get working drag & drop back.

[stompalot]

Same here using Ubuntu 20.04 and Typora 0.11.8(beta).

Works as expected using Windows 10 same beta so could be a Linux thing.

[rand0musername]

Same bug here with 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 20.04

[pconrad-fb]

I'm having the same issue.

[gmcyber]

Yep, same bug Pop!_OS 21.10

Fix here: https://github.com/typora/typora-issues/issues/4906

C'mon people... another release. Another patch -p0... fix it in the main code!

I just encountered it in 1.3.6 (latest release for Linux) on Arch Linux. Feels like it just broke recently for me although I’m not sure. My package manager is currently very busy, but once it’s done I’m gonna try to find the version in which it stopped working.

Edit: I went back all the way to 1.0.4 and the issue still persisted. I couldn’t go further because the releases don’t seem to be available anymore.

[blurayne]

I'd just say: var i = File.isLinux ? "Not supported" : "we don't care or test for other systems?"

RLY?! We had enough users here confirming the bug. Since IT IS not open source there is no chance to make a MR.

[manu-cyber]

With the changes to the sidebar in version 1.4.3 drag&drop started to work for me again, at least on Windows. I would assume it does so for Linux and Mac as well.

[manu-cyber]

Now that it’s packaged for my distro, I can say that the bug still persists for me with version 1.4.4.

[ms-private]

In version 1.4.7 on Linux Mint, drag&drop in the file tree is still impossible (as it was in each release since at least 1.0). If this is intended, please explain why. If it is not intended, please fix it. Fix exists Issue 4906 but I don't want to hack the released files each time a I install a new version.

[blurayne]

Let me repeat: var i = File.isLinux ? "Not supported" : "we don't care or test for other systems?"

So when do you folks thin about JUST a little bit more Linux support?!

I suggest every Linux user o try put marktext or obsidian as in the moment best alternatives.

[abnerlee]

fixed in 1.7.5

[storyjesse]

YAY! I confirm that this is fixed in version 1.7.5 on Linux (x64)

I'll happily pay for a licence now just as I said I would.

[manu-cyber]

Yup, works for me as well. Thank you! :)
