Need LNZ Pro help

[Judy]

I used to be able to move my files right onto the screen. Now they won't show up there and I have to use the File drop down menu to open my file on the LNZ Pro screen. Having to go through the File menu is a big hassle as you might imagine. I have changed computers and recently installed an external hard drive, so that started it all, and I have fiddled with LNZ Pro to death to try to get it to let me move my files on. So I am at my wits end. If anyone can help me solve this issue, I will be eternally grateful.

I don't understand? Are you saying LNZPro doesn't recognise baby files?

[Judy]

Gosh, I don't know if I can exlain the problem differently. LNZ Pro recognizes the babyz files once I open them using the File menu, but I used to be able to slide the file onto the LNZ Pro Window and it would open automatically, as I'm sure you all can do. Using the File Menu is a lot of extra steps and I really, really want to go back to doing it the easy way again. Thanks so much for trying to help.

Budgie I think Judy is saying, that drag and drop functionality is not working for her in LNZPro.

Since I have always opened files through the menu myself, I did not notice this until just now.

You explained it well, Judy.

I will be looking into this. But for now drag and drop is unsupported in LNZPro for me as well.

Hopefully all of us can find a solution together.

Ah, I see!

You know I didn't even know you could drag and drop the files into LNZPro to open, because I've always gone through the menus or double clicked on the file I want to open (I've set all Babyz files to default open in LNZPro). But I've just tried and drag-drop seems to work for me.

If the problem has started since the new computer/external hard drive, maybe it is a hardware or operating system issue that makes it uncompatible with something as old as LNZPro?
Other than that unhelpful suggestion, I wouldn't know what to suggest - sorry Hope you can fix it if it's that much of a bother to you

I can still drag and drop onto Hex Workshop and that tool is way old. I'm going to try to set my Babyz files to open in LNZ Pro, like you do Budgie. That seems like a pretty easy alternative. But how do you put more than one file on for comparison?

Thanks for all the help I'm getting.

[Judy]

Well, it occurred to me that if I could drag and drop on Hex Workshop I should try to change the compatibility on LNZ Pro to what was on Hex Workshop to see if that would work, and it did! In case anyone wonders what those compatibility settings are, the program should be run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and none of the boxes are checked. Now I'm a happy camper. Thanks for the interest shown to my vexing problem.
