Hi
I'm not sure is it bug or wrong settings.
I can't place image into opened document in Adobe Illustrator (Windows 10).
When I drag&drop any image file to Illustrator's artboard only text with the full file path is placed.
If drag&drop to empty space of Illustrator's window (not opened document), new document opens.
Drag&drop to open document in Photoshop works as expected.
Drag&drop from explorer to Illustrator works as expected.

Re: Drag&Drop to Adobe Illustrator artboard doesn't work
It is a bug in Qt (the library which XnView MP is using).
Other users found it also:

https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=37934
The problem is already fixed in Qt:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-62662
See here for release notes:
https://fossies.org/linux/qt-everywhere ... ges-5.10.0
If Pierre updates the XnView MP to the latest LTS then we will have the fix "for free".

Re: Drag&Drop to Adobe Illustrator artboard doesn't work
Thank you for the explanation.
Will waiting for an update.
XnView one of the few viewers that shows OpenEXR which I use a lot.
There are few non-user-friendly minor apps.
Last I used was Adobe Bridge, the only solid app I know support EXR, I tired with it.
Acdsee doesn't support EXR, still.
For me that drag&drop bug in XnView the only thing that separates the app from ideal.

You cannot do it. Ok, perhaps you can hack it but most probably it won't work.magnum5f5133 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 5:16 pmHow to install the new version of Qt 5.10? For the "Place" function to work.m.Th. wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 6:05 am It is a bug in Qt (the library which XnView MP is using).

Pierre uses his own dll's which are included in XnView's package.

Re: Drag&Drop to Adobe Illustrator artboard doesn't work
P.S.: In XnView CLASSIC Drag&Drop works.
Re: Drag&Drop to Adobe Illustrator artboard doesn't work
Sure. XnView Classic uses Windows libraries which, of course, work. Qt has the problem. Too bad that Pierre hadn't found the time to upgrade the Qt.
