First off, thank you all for existing. Not only could I not achieve any of my Max aims (I'd rank myself as a max idiot on the expertise scale), but emotionally...as we all know working with Max or similar software, just the presence of a community that feels your pain, 'has been there', and offers advice for purely altruistic purposes. Thank god for this community. My apologies for such a newbie question: trust me, I'm aware of the frustration caused by asking the community simple questions which could have been found in the help documentation - I have made a rule of never posting a question I can try to answer myself. However, while this question is very simple, it's actually hard to find an exact answer on as X.players~ have limited help info.

-My X.player~ pop up windows do not have drag and drop functionality (for either folders, or files). When I drag a file or folder (.wav or .aif, makes no difference) over the waveform display, it displays the green circle with the plus sign which usually indicates that the items is drag and droppable and that the destination will receive it. But nothing happens. Loading folders/files directly from the pop up waveform window works fine...X.PLAYER~ really emphasizes its drag and drop functionality in ITA documentation.

-I have opened it in max 5 to see if it's a Max 7 issue, but that made no difference.

HAS ANYONE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM?/KNOW THE OBVIOUS" STUPID" THING I'M MISSING? (maybe I'm missing something in a subpatch?)

I also tried bringing the sound files into the max file browser but still does not drag and drop.

likewise, I cannot drag and drop any samples from the built-in "audio" pop-up window on the left side of the patcher window.
