Description Svyatoslav Timofeev 2022-09-09 13:16:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
Some Windows apps opening files to editing via Drag'n'Drop, but I cant open files because dragging protocols transmit files array as array with brackets, which windows apps does not support


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Wayland Session
2. Open BSArchPro
3. Drag .bsa archive from Bethesda game dir to program
4. INVALID PATH!!!

OBSERVED RESULT
Dragging .bsa file into BSArchPro saying "Invalid Path"

EXPECTED RESULT
X.Org session works fine
