Issue

Since updating to the latest version 3.0.0 (stable), drag and drop no longer works in the terminal window. It is no longer possible, to drag a folder into the terminal window, which means the ability to quickly change directory is gone. When you drag a folder into the window, it still shows the circle with the plus icon, which means it's allowing you to copy the link over. However when you release it, the link is not added to the terminal window.

Exact same things on mine too

Same problem here, even with WebGL rendering force-disabled because of window transparency.

Same here ;(

Same here, cannot use drag and drop anymore :(

[andrewbaisden]

No fix yet, but there is a workaround.

(CMD+C on macOS, CTRL+C elsewhere): Use that command to copy the folder directory location to your clipboard.
(CMD+V on macOS, CTRL+V elsewhere): Use that command to paste the folder directory location into your terminal window.

I think this action is probably faster than using drag and drop anyway.

The fastest way on macOS: CMD+OPTION+C This will copy the path of the file.

If you are better with mouse, then right click on the file and press option to see how the "copy file" changes to "copy file as path"

So there's a workaround but does anyone know why it stopped working?
It's not very good UX to have to google the problem and read this thread to find a workaround for a behaviour the app used to have.

I think many users would find it beneficial if the official website's plugin list listed @qweasd1's hyper-drop-file.
