Yea the shell command solved the issue. I am not sure if opening the application like that with admin would also work since it seems it happens on all elevated Windows processes. Even saw some guys on Reddit using photoshop elevated, also no drag 'n drop. It's UAC blocking it, but apparently copying...

I just got the idea to try using a powershell command to get the data which luckilly works for now AND in Admin mode since UAC isn't acting like an idiot for copy paste operations. function sys.GetClipboardFilePath() -- Function to get the path to a file that's currently in the clipboard -- Run Powe...

Hello everyone at Love2D! Today I finished up creating a tool that I want to distribute to my companies customers so they can easilly update their embedded systems via serial (targetted at Windows 7 or higher). This works amazingly on multiple COM ports at the same time with different threads, howev...

Thanks!

Hello, I'm working on a desktop application which works with multiple thread instances to execute some commands in a CLI, but I now wonder if I manually have to dereference the thread instances when they're finished with the :release method, since it seems I can still pull data from the channels aft...
