> the error appears when i try to drag and drop to the desktop. here's how - i have a rar file in my documents. having followed the guide you link above (file types, etc), i can doubleclick it inopus and it opens perfectly well in opus. but once it's open, if i try to drag a file or folder from the content of the rar file to the desktop, i get the error. if i drag to another opus window, it works fine, the problem only appears when i drag to the desktop. maybe this clarifies it?

I have the same problem (and I see someone else does too, [[Cannot copy file - RAR - #2 by kenalcock](http://resource.dopus.com/t/cannot-copy-file-rar/3006/2)) )... - does anyone have a fix for the problem?
