DarkDominion Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 ! ! S O L V E D ! ! ***UPDATE*** Running Vortex as administrator causes the problem !! on WIN 7 64bit Ultimate.So, switch off administrator rights and you can drag and drop again . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello again :smile: I used to be able to drop files in Vortex ( in the same square as the one you use to add mod from URL ) to "manually" download them .That function has stopped working, or I'm an idiot ( which is also true I guess :tongue: ) What is the fix ( if there is any ) ?Cheers-=DD=-
KarebuS Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Try reinstalling Vortex? And are you sure it's not working or is the mod your trying to install corrupted or something?
DarkDominion Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 I've seen Gopher having the same problem when installing mods through Vortex live on TwitchOn a closer look : it does work on his side :)
Toriko Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 I have had the same problem and reinstalling did not correct it.
DarkDominion Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 UPDATE:Even after re-installing "dropping files" is still not possible.I would really love to fix for this ?
Tannin42 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Where from are you dragging the file? Is it a local file on disk or a link in the browser?

Is it a local file on disk or a link in the browser?I have Vortex and Skyrim SE installed on my D: drive, I have the files in question on my desktop ( that's the C: drive, right ? ) in a folder called "SSE loose files" . With Vortex open and the "SSE loose files" open I drag a "xxx.7z" file onto the "drop here" square and try to drop it there, but it refuses ; it's "squared out" Again : this has worked in an earlier version of Vortex, but somewhere down the line ( from 0.13.1 onward I think ) it stopped working.Never worked on 0.13.3 and still doesn't work on the 0.13.5 BETA Thanks for looking into this Tannin42 EDIT : this goes for the "Drop File" on the "downloads" tab and the "Mods" tab.If I want to manually add files from my "SSE loose files" folder I must use the "Install From File" option on top of the "Mods" tab
Tannin42 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I just tested, it continues to work for me.When you say "it's squared out" you mean Vortex visually shows it doesn't like the file? Could you show me a screenshot? Because that should only happen if what you try to drag there isn't actually a file but, say, a bunch of text from a text editor.
DarkDominion Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 I cannot show a picture of Vortex refusing the file for it doesn't show up on the screenshot"not liking"the file as in "it shows a circle with a dash running through it" like this Screenshot of my build, and me dragging a xxx.7z to the drop box : And before you say : no, you should drop it in the "mod" tab drop box... Tried that, doesn't work either
oblivionfan52 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I'll also confirm drag and drop does not work for me in 13.5, and has not since 13.3. I'm not sure I tried it earlier than that.
