I was wondering, why I'm not able to drag files to applications opened by Conemu, like for example emacs, firefox, etc..
How could be this enabled?
Thanks

I've uploaded a video to illustrate the issue: Video

It is enabled. For example, notepad++ accepts files. – Maximus Oct 27 '14 at 12:51

Well, I've tried with Firefox,Chrome,IE,Eclipse,PowershellISE and Gvim and none of them opened the file when I drag it. If I open any of this programs in a normal way, they all open the file :-) So I must be missing something. – RafaelGP Oct 27 '14 at 13:05

I don't think it matters, but I should have said that I'm using Cmder, and I have this problem when I open a program both using Powershell or CMD consoles. – RafaelGP Oct 27 '14 at 13:08

OK,just checked IE. Drop is working. Unless you tell us what exactly you are trying to do - nobody can tell you what you are doing wrong. – Maximus Oct 27 '14 at 17:12

And of course you need to check official latest ConEmu build. – Maximus Oct 27 '14 at 17:13

Thank you. Updated question by adding a video. I hope that helps. – RafaelGP Oct 29 '14 at 10:20

I'm pretty sure that if you run chrome from PS started **outside** of ConEmu the result will be the same. If so ConEmu is not a part of the question. In other words you open chrome from PS, but not from ConEmu! – Maximus Oct 29 '14 at 15:57

It seems that this is nothing to do with ConEmu or Powershell. It's Windows! :-)
Apparently if I open an application as an Administrator, then I'm not allowed to drag files into this application by design and for security reasons.
This is how the UAC works. Drag- and Drop are messages. And sending messages
from a program with normal rights, to an application with admin rights can
cause security issue.
Do Drag & Drop only work with application with the same rights (program
with Admin rights to program with admin rights or program with normal rights to
program with normal rights ).
