Strange. I just assumed this worked because MC is so good; I tried it once today, and it worked a few times. Now it doesn't work anymore, even after reboot.
1: I created a "Comedy" View Scheme under the default Video -- Genre/Album/Year that only lists videos with a genre I call Comedy.
2: I click on the Comedy View Scheme folder and drag and drop it into the Data Disc module of Roxio.
3: First few attempts, Roxio Data Disc "Add Data" window was populated successfully with all of the names of the video in my MC Scheme.
4: Subsequent attempts, nothing. It doesn't crash or get interrupted. The Roxio cursor only changes to the classic "unavailable" cursor indicating that I cannot or am not allowed to do a feature, which in this case is drag and dropping.
5: Ordinarily, I would simply move on after such a failed attempt and assume that MC doesn't have standard drag and drop capabilities of true and fully Windows-compatible programs. Except for the simple fact that it worked and then just stopped working.
6: Also, a few tests: dragging an dropping single files work, but only up to a point. I haven't checked to see how many files it takes before the cirsor changes to to the "unavailable" one. It doesn't say unavailable mind you. The unavailable cursor is that circular one with the diagonal line going through it.
7: No comparison between an earlier build. I installed this latest version today, but never tried to drag and drop until today. So I don't know if this is a bug or not outside of the fact that it worked a few times, then stopped.
Thanks.
