Sorry, I was trying to drag directly from the name of the file in the column and it wont work.

That's how I first tried it, and like you I thought it didn't work.

If I select the file and drag after, it works...

But it would be so much better if we could drag and drop directly from the list !

Ok. It would go faster this way.

Just click on the top and drag it or maybe I don't understand what you mean ?

Nice feature indeed !

Very good fonction... but is it possible to have the same thing with "recent midi files" and "recently played on the keyboard" ?
Thank you

Hi Ben,
That's a good suggestion, we have added this feature to version 7.2.1.

Wow - that was quick! Thank you

Great feature indeed !
I realise now that I can have Reaper and Pianoteq Standalone running simultaneously !
I would never have dared to do that !
I can thus improvise in Pianoteq and transfer (or not) my improvisation straight into Reaper, without having to go through the Archive folder !
This is going to revolutionise my workflow !

Just a report-- This feature currently seems to have an issue in Linux (or rather, in the Linux Mint 20.1, XFCE edition I use).

One is able to click and drag the name of a loaded MIDI file in the main interface of Pianoteq, and the mouse pointer changes to a hand, but releasing the click does not drop the file to the desired location, and the hand cursor remains visible. The Pianoteq app remains in focus, and the mouse pointer can be moved to click various Pianoteq functions, but Pianoteq becomes unresponsive to MIDI events transmitted by one's MIDI keyboard, and other running apps including the desktop itself cannot be clicked or interacted with using the mouse. Instead, one must select File--> Quit in Pianoteq (or CTRL-q hotkey) to regain interaction with other apps and the desktop/OS.

I tried several attempts to drag a MIDI file from Pianoteq while PulseAudio, ALSA and JACK were selected as the audio/sound system (on consecutive attempts), and tried unsuccessfully to drag a MIDI file from Pianoteq to--

* Reaper DAW
* Harrison Mixbus32C DAW
* the desktop
* an open window of the file-manager browser (in this case, Thunar in the XFCE desktop).

--All of those attempts were unsuccessful, and the only resolution was to quit Pianoteq after each attempt.

So this feature, a nice addition to Pianoteq, may not presently function as intended within Linux. Hopefully other Linux users will report whether this feature works in their particular Linux distribution and desktop manager.

I tried with Reaper.
I have just upgraded to V 7.2.1 but I can't figure out how to proceed, I cannot find anything to click or to drag.
Click on the name of the file and drag it.
Where do I pick this file name ?
J'essaie dans la liste "récemment joué au clavier", ça ne marche pas ...

Le nom à droite du lecteur MIDI, juste après le temps et x1.

Nice addition! Works also with MuseScore.
