When copying to the root of a root, there's no indication that it will copy

    When you drag and drop into a subfolder, there's a green arrow to indicate you'll drop there. The root of the root does not show the arrow. Files are transferred, but it's a little confusing.

    I opened this issue to help resolve what you are asking for and we will have to wait for now:
    Allow/prevent TreeGrid drop by record

    When the issue gets answered, or I find a solution, I will schedule the fix.
    Meanwhile, with 1002, GoodbyeFtp does give you a cleaner error if you try to do this...

    I'm not sure if my description was clear, so here's a screenshot.

    I see now.
    I have not been able to reproduce the problem.
    When I drop files on the root nodes, I get the expected folder icon that signals the drop.
    However, I can see this problem taking place on slow connections when the browser takes a while to download the folder icon that signals the drop.
    At some point I gotta figure out how to smartly preload all images.
    For now, if you have a reproducible case, including browser version and GoodbyeFtp build number, I can take another look.

    I figured out what's happening. It's across all browsers. It happens when you cross over a hidden system folder that you can't copy to (such as $RECYCLE.BIN). The next folder that you move to doesn't show the icon.

    So, if you pass over $RECYCLE.BIN, then go to the root of the drive, you don't see the icon.

    Good find.
    I see this myself.
    It is not consistent, but it does happen.
    At times, I move over a disabled drop traget, then pause on an enabled drop target, and the icon does not change. I wiggle the mouse, and the icon does change to the expected icon.
    Other times it does not change to the expected icon at all.
