Please consider these 2 enhancements:

1. After dropping a file in a folder: Highlight the dropped file and scroll it into view. Would be very useful when dropping files in large folders
2. When dragging a file from Outlook (attachement) and dropping it in MC: Don't ask for confirmation ("Copy 1 file(s) to... ?")), just accept the file

Thanks.

1. This is more complex to fix one might first think. Problem with this is that dropped files are often copied in the background and the user might be doing something else  like navigate to another folder or moving around to prepare for a copy of another file while it is copying the dropped file.. And that it then change the focus to highlight the new file can be annoying. and what should be the behavior of many files are dropped.. problem is there is many special cases with this to consider..

2. This can be configured.  Core settings > FileSystem (tab).. then there is a section for option for Drag and drop operations

1. Ok. (Still, it would be nice if you could come up with something)

2. None of the 3 checkboxes in the 'Core-settings - Filesystem - Drag and Drop file operations' section are checked. However, when dragging/dropping an attachment from Outlook into a folder a confirmation popup is shown.

Strange, It works for me when I test. sure you have saved the settings ?

Yes, I haven't touched the setting. The screenshot is just the situation as it has been since forever. I just tried checking the boxes, save, uncheck, save again. Same result. It keeps asking for confirmation.
