Can't Drag and Drop in MacOS Catalina

weplayedpirates · 05-11-2020, 03:42 PM

Hi all! I'm having an issue using the drag and drop feature in Calibre on the latest MacOS. Whenever I click a book to drag and drop it, It merely selects all the books when I drag the mouse rather than dragging that one book to export onto another window. I've enabled 'drag' through the trackpad's accessibility settings on my Mac, but can't seem to find a way to fix this.

works fine on my mac, steps I tried:

1) Click on a book to select it
2) tap on the touchpad with one finger keeping that finger down, then drag with second finger

Note that currently because fo a bug in Qt you cant drag more than a single book at a time on macs.

Thanks, I was having this problem too. It's still not working as it used to, but I can drag one by one as described.
