Hi,
First of all thanks for providing both an excellent program and support to match.
With 2.42b album art drag and drop seems to be broken (Vista Home Premium) - with 2.42 it works as expected.

How do you use album art drag and drop?
Please describe the problem in detail.

Hi,
Drag image from file manager or Firefox over placeholder in tag panel and let go...
I reverted back to 2.42 and it works as expected.

Hi,
This now works as expected with 2.42c

Hi,
Maybe it isn't...
Mp3tag had been open for some time tagging and just sat idle and the problem re-occurred - a restart cured the problem.
I will see if I can notice any pattern to it.

Hi,
This still occurs with 2.43 - when Mp3tag has been open for some time - the same as above.
Windows Vista BTW

I had **never** encountered this problem until I did the following:
1. Upgraded from 2.42 to 2.43 (possibly not related)
2. Did a rename of file names based on tags
at that point I could not drag and drop a JPG into the cover art 'square' on the UI.
I closed and re-opened MP3Tag and drag and drop worked.
My system is Vista x64 SP1

Does this happen every time after renaming files? I've also tried with Vista (x86) and it works as expected.

Hi,
I was hoping it was the source of the issue, but it doesn't do it with me.

Hi,
It has just happened again. I had done no renaming and the only potentially uncommon thing is that I had just added album art in PNG format to some tracks.
Restarting mp3tag restored the ability.
