I just installed 1511 and I have the same problem again. http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8476
No drag and drop in admin, and all scrips go crazy if I don't have admin on.
Can anyone help?

The only solution is to run both exporer and MM with the same elevation, either both as admin or neither.

You can run MM with scripts without admin elevation if you just install the scripts to the user\appdata\roaming\mediamonkey\scripts folder instead of Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts

Thank you very much for the quick answer!

I tried running both on admin, but drag and drop still did seem not work.
Excuse the silly question, but how do I move the scrips to appdata, simply moving them did not work. Do I need to reinstall every single one or can I simply edit a txt file with the search and replace function?

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately it will vary a lot depending on the addon. The best way would be to uninstall and reinstall them "For current user only".

wholly crap, this is INSANE! :evil: I can't believe it's gotten to this point.. I have been drag and drop'n since MM 3.0.x... I just installed 4.1.0.1652 and now MM & Windows Explorer have to be running at the same permissions level for it to work? Well, running Windows Explorer as Admin is not a simple right-click run as admin in Windows 8.. SMH.. why does it have to be so complicated now?? Wow!?!
...
just went back to MM 3.2.6.1307 and initially had the same issue (cRazy!)... might be a Windows 8 issue (more specifically a recent Win8 update, because I just recently noticed this drag & drop issue and recently my Win8 forced an update on my machine :evil: ) and not MM issue. That's good to know. A permanent solution would be better though :-?

It's Windows Vista and up, has nothing to do with MM.

Thanks a ton, man. Unchecked run as admin and it works like a charm now. Gee, that sure was frustrating.
