Default Drag and Drop Problems

Still new, but my second post within minutes :-)

I don't seem able to drag and drop wav samples (or other) directly from a folder into a Reaper track. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it appears to be a gamble. I'd prefer that method over using the "insert" tab, though, as it allows me to work a lot faster.

Has anyone had the same problem and knows how to solve it - and would share it?

Many thanks
C.C.

Can you post a video or gif of the problem?

Aren't you running Reaper under administrator account?
If so, then drag'n'drop operations are not allowed. Use normal user account.

Thank you. I run Reaper as Administrator.
I just realized that drag and drop works only if I drag e.g. a drum hit wav file across the TOP edge of the folder window. It doesn't work if I drag it over the side edge... :-)
