When I try and drag files or folders onto CopyTrans I just get the "can't drop" mouse pointer. Maybe it is a Windows 7 compatiblity issue ?



This is very much not a standard file browser, it is their own DIY one. If it was the standard one I could just type the path to the server I wanted for example.

Why would I want to type the path to my music ? Because it is quicker, in the standard Windows file dialog I can type "//oldaero/d" and it will quickly auto complete "//oldaero/data/" for me, I just hit return and then double click on the music folder. Much quicker that mousing my way through expanding their homebrew directory tree, especially as when you first open the app each time it takes 30 seconds or more to expand the Network top level item ! And of course the app is complete non repsonsive during that.

On top of that it takes a tip out of iTunes way of doing things by being nicely non-Windows. Rather than having its own link in the start menu you get their own daft Control Center. Which means I can't launch the Manager by my usual route of hitting the Windows key and typing the first few letters of the app name.

Oh and the keyboard accelerators in their list custom controls only work occasionally.

All in all, the perfect example of how not to write a Windows app I'm afraid.
