Re: Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why?

Thanks for responding Trevor.

Restarting doesn’t help.
On the one Win7 laptop it’s perfect, just like the Macs.
On another Win7 laptop, and on a Win8 desktop, the cursor indicates the “no-drop-allowed” condition.

On those machines I can see the cursor respond correctly, changing to “Copy” within the desktop; but not when it reaches my app.

The fact that it works on the one laptop makes me think there’s some Windows setting that’s different.
One thing I have yet to try is compiling the standalone on Windows; but I’m hoping to find something that maintains “cross-platform consistency”.

Thanks,
Joe F.
