Req: Option to disable drag-drop from results

[raccoon]

Currently, you can drag-drop a selection of file(s) from Everything to other software or within Everything itself.

I'd like to request a setting that disables this dragging behavior, and instead, draws a multi-select rectangle.

[void]

I will consider an option to disable dragging from Everything.
Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, please consider enabling name_only_drag:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  drag
• Select name_only_drag.
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Now you can only drag from Everything by clicking on the text under the Name column.

Thanks. I'm just trying to make it easier for an old guy who will never use drag-drop, from making fumbling mistakes.

To disable drag drop:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  drag
• Select allow_drag_drop.
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

Oh, wow, thanks!

I looked and did not find allow_drag_drop in INI Settings. (did a Ctrl+F find on 'drag')

[void]

allow_drag_drop exists in Everything 1.4.

It's documented here.

I'll merge these two ini pages together soon.
