Can No Longer Drag to Tag

craneOnCalibre · 11-06-2019, 09:11 PM

I've just updated to 4.2. I notice that I can no longer drag one or more rows to my tags in the left column.

Use Case
1. Expand all my tags/metadata in the left pane. See my "tags".
2. Look at the rows in the main pane. Select one or more (ctrl/cmd).
3. Drag from main pane to a specific tag in the left pane.

I used to be able to do this. Now I cannot. Instead, as I mouse, I just end up selecting more rows (e.g., if I mouse down). I can mouse all I like, but I'm not seeing any indication that things are going to be tagged (e.g., plus sign). And when I let go of the mouse button, the tag has not been applied. I also tried in the opposite direction, i.e., drag a tag over to the row.

This is something I do often and the missing drag/tag ability really breaks my workflow.

Interesting. Yes, I am on Mac, but I'm not on Catalina yet.

I've rolled back to a 3.x version of Calibre in the meantime. I cannot be without drag-and-tag.

It was one of the fixes in the version released today.
