Drag and drop does not work.

Drag and drop does not work.

It is working for me to play tracks.
Seems to be working for importing as well.

Try restarting MC and see if it starts working.

[agzorig]

Thanks RoderickGI for the tip.
I reverted to 27.0.15 since drag and drop was working on that version. Then I read your reply/tip on restarting MC, which I did not do.
So I reinstalled 27.0.16, and now drag and drop works.

Dirac Live Processor and DDMF Metaplugin VST3 now have display but no signal is going through them

[ppataki]

Voxengo Span Plus 1.11 VST3 also no signal

[JimH]

I may move VST problems to a new thread.

Sometimes . . . when MC appears to be frozen and unresponsive, I can double-click on the taskbar icon and the dialog box I thought I had just closed reappears from behind the main player. Closing the box again frees MC back up again, of course.

Perhaps there is something regarding the dialog box Close button?
It occurs sporadically so I have not been able to intentionally reproduce it.

I have been using the Modern Cards skin, but have seen this with others in the past.
