Can't "drag and drop" folder to run main.lua

[Tosse]

Hi,

This is a probably a stupid question but i can't solve it.
I installed löve 64 bit with the installer on Windows 8. On the wiki it says you can drag a folder with a main.lua in it to run the file.

I made a folder "test" with a main.lua containing:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Test",300,300)
end

I select the folder and drag it to the "Baby inspector window"; Nothing happens. But I can run it with a command prompt (cmd)
"C:\Love\love.exe" "c:\test"

The same problem is on my Macbook, can't drag the folder...

What’s Up With That?

I don't know, I don't use windows 8 or mac, what i do is zip it and use open with and assign zip to be open with love its a pain in the ass but it works... I'm almost tempted to write my own editor.

I'm sure there is an editor out there but none that i found that work or am comfortable with.

You have to drag the folder onto the love.exe file (before you run it), not to the actual window.

Haha, yes that works. Thanks!
Somehow, the guy with the sunglasses looks like he want's a file dropped on him.
