Drag/drop file links into Data Explorer

Hi:

Using the latest 64 bit UR update. When dragging at least four xlsx files into Data Explorer as links, the first file does not copy over. This is consistent on my end. I can drag the missing file over, but this behavior is very disconcerting. Since I just noticed this, I now have to check all previous operations.

The database was compacted and repaired without changing the problem.

Thank you.

Jon

I'm unable to reproduce the issue. Can you describe how you are doing it using an ordered/numbered list of steps, please.

Here's how I'm doing it.

1. Select 6 xlsx files
2. Drag using mouse right-click
3. Choose 'link here'.
4. I see six links created.

For step 2, I also tested using 'alt' key + left drag. Worked fine.

I tested using Windows Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045. I will test again using Windows 11 when I get home. MS re-worked file explorer entirely.

I was unable to reproduce this behavior. Using

1) Windows 11 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2428)
2) Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2310 Build 16.0.16924.20054) 64-bit
3) Ultra Recall 6.3.0.6 (x64)

I created 4 .xlsx files and right-dragged -> Link Here from Explorer into UR, and all 4 of them were imported.

I am consistently able to reproduce this behavior but first, some background. I have used UR forever but whenever I add files to my databases, it is almost always as attachments (to Data Explorer). I need these to be transportable with the database. The few times I link, it is one file at a time. My method (successful) was left click, drag and drop. I recently needed to link more than one. Using the method I used to link files individually introduced this anomaly.

The alt + left click and right click/link both work for me.

Shouldn't the method I was using work as well? If not, I am happy to alter my habit.

Thank you both for providing working procedures.

Jon

I couldn't reproduce the problem with left click, drag/drop either.

Thank you for testing and for your patience.

I am both stumped and relieved. I had a thought over the weekend. The files I was linking to were all on my office server. I wondered if some anomaly with the server's configuration could have contributed. After getting to my office this morning, I started my laptop and first tried local files. They worked perfectly. Then I tried with files on the server. Again, perfect. Maybe it had to do with the fresh start or something else I cannot figure out.

In any case, I will be cautious (at least in the short run) and keep checking. If this happens again, I'll report back.
