Dragging multiple items to external applications doesn't work properly. Examples:
- Select multiple items in NC panel, start to drag them. The mouse cursor gets a red tool tip saying "0". It only changes into the correct number of items when dragged over to the other panel
- Dragging those items to a Finder window adds a green "+" to the cursor, but the tool tip remains "0". Yet, all items are copied correctly Using keyboard modifiers like CMD while dragging changes the tool tip (remove green "+"), but the items aren't copied or moved at all.
- Dragging the same items to a bunch of other applications only handles the first item. Example: Messages.app. Here, only the first item is dropped correctly, the others are ignored.
Dragging multiple items to external applications [FIXED]
Re: Dragging multiple items to external applications
Gosh, this drag & drop system is an endless source of issues
Ok, will get check this when a new UI will become usable.

Re: Dragging multiple items to external applications
Finally, update on this issue, after two days of reverse engineering there's some progress
This drag&drop system is the most obscure and irrelevant subsystem in macOS, to the level at which you have to write code the opposite way that documentation says
Also, dragging into VLC now works everywhere (in both playlist and media library).
Will be available in next preview build.

Fixed (I actually don't know when, but currently it shows the right numbers).sasha wrote: - Select multiple items in NC panel, start to drag them. The mouse cursor gets a red tool tip saying "0". It only changes into the correct number of items when dragged over to the other panel

Fixed, tested on Messages.app, now works both with native drags and vfs drags (like from archives).sasha wrote:- Dragging the same items to a bunch of other applications only handles the first item. Example: Messages.app. Here, only the first item is dropped correctly, the others are ignored.

Re: Dragging multiple items to external applications
That sounds good, because dragging was reliably unreliable. To the point where I usually preferred to switch to Finder only to do the dragging part.
