Description

Description

Odd error ive found on versions of RA after 1.9.0. I cant use F5 and then drag and drop thumbnails onto files in the playlists, which I could in 1.9.0. Is fixable by downgrading back to 1.9.0 (manual install via drag and drop from unpacked ZIP).

Expected Behavior

Ability to drag and drop jpg files into Thumbnail window manually via F5 desktop menu.

Actual Behaviour

"Copy" dialogue appears when dragging jpg to Thumbnail window but jpg does not drop, thumbnails do not appear in RA 1.9.1+ even after a restart

Hotfix

Downgrade RA to 1.9.0 via manual file copy/overwrite

Affected Versions

RA 1.9.1+

Environment information

OS is Windows 10 20H2, Build 19042.985

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 using RetroArch 1.9.1 or later: open the F5 desktop menu and drag a JPG into the Thumbnail window, then compare the behavior with 1.9.0. Done means manual drag-and-drop installs the JPG and the thumbnail appears after restarting RetroArch.
