Can't drag and drop audio

[sigabort]

Hi, Live is not appearing as a D&D target when dropping from explorer, Windows 7.

Go back to 8.3 and it's fine.

I've tried this with Live open on it's own and then with Soundforge open, so I can clearly see Live is not a target when dragging the file over it, but when I then move on to Soundforge I can drop it in there.

Hi Sigabort,

I can't reproduce the problem dragging 16/24 bit waves to the Live gui under Windows 7
Which formats are you dragging?, is it compressed mp3, ogg or alike?.

Hi. Hmmmm... i'm dragging a 16 bit wav back into Live that I've just exported from Live.

I've tried dragging .mp3s and files from other locations aswell with no joy.

hi Sigaport,

Please upload a few of the problematic files and send me the download link, we are not able to reproduce the problem and need info.

- If you are using windows 7, do you have admin rights. (locate the live.exe, right click and see which rights you have to run this application)
- I see you tried dragging from other locations, did you try from a flash drive or USB stick?

Best,
Mads

It's literally happening with all audio files.

Live is set to run as administrator. This is happening on both Windows 7 installations I have (one is Pro, one is Ultimate)

Hi Lee,

The file loads fine by dnd from the windows browser here. To get closer to this problem please contact support at support@ableton.com since there is something on your system that would prevent this from working - which is not a general audio file nor Live problem. They have a chance of inspecting your system. I hope to see this analyzed and fixed.

Best,
Mads

Hi,

I hope the support session will show what is going on on your system. For now I am locking this thread since it seems local on your machine and no other user is reporting similar problems.

best,
Mads
