How to disable copy into source folder when I use drag and drop method to copy files or folders.
If you're accidentally releasing on sub-folders of the tab you're dragging out of, you can disable that by turning off this option:
Preferences / File Displays / Mouse / Allow drag and drop into sub-folders (without a qualifier key held down)
You can still hold Shift/Ctrl down to override it when you need it.
hi.
i also have drag and drop question.
Doing drag and drop with left button i have set it to move using this command Copy MOVE in file types menu..
but i want right button to copy while doing drag and drop.How to do that?
also image is not loading in this FAQ
Drag & drop with the right mouse button will always show a menu of possible actions. You can edit the menu but you can't make it do an action directly without displaying the menu.
Thanks! I've fixed the post.

How to get the full path the drag is dropped on (ie. Drop target) ?
For example, suppose I drag multiples items, "C:\Folder1", "C:\Folder2", "C:\File1.txt", and drop them onto "C:\Folder3" (NOTE: this is the Drop target, and not DOpus concept of destination lister),
I want to run an external command on DnD action, "robocopy" (could be any command though), once for each selected item, giving it the same destination folder "C:\Folder3". How to do this ?
Same question for if I want to pass in the DOpus destination lister ?
I think drag & drop events have {destpath} set up for the drop target's path. (Best to verify that on a test folder first, in case I'm misremembering.)
The destination lister/tab wouldn't be relevant to a drag & drop event unless it was what you were dropping on. You could get it via the scripting API, but it would be unusual to use/need that on a drop event, since it isn't (necessarily) involved in either side of the drag & drop.
