As the title says.  
Just updated to v2.44 and this function was busted.  
I cannot drag covers in to the mp3tag window,they just disappear.  
Please advise. 😳  
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming that you're using Windows Vista. In Vista drag and drop between different processes does not work when the processes are not run under the same user account.

Can you please try to run explorer.exe and Mp3tag under the **normal user** account and report whether it fixes the issue for you?

Kind regards,  
Florian

Thanks for the reply Florian.  
But I'm currently using a windows XP rig.And v2.44 just won't let me drag covers into the extended tag window. 😳  
I rolled back to v2.43 and it works properly,wired. 😳

I can confirm the same problem with 2.44 and 2.44d in XP with SP3.

Thought it might be something with my ThinkPad UltraNav and the drivers for it (they have broken scrolling in Opera before), but it did work in 2.43.

I also use winxp, admin acc or normal user.  
Drag&Drop to cover field in the tag panel works, but not in the extended tags window.
