Question / Help Dragging Images and Video while running as administrator?

[vyktar]

So, I'm aware of this feature, but how do I actually set jpgs or other image formats to be able to be dragged and dropped. I always run OBS as administrator because when i don't no games show up when i use game capture.

Unfortunately, that is a known limitation of the drag & drop feature at the moment. This is not limited to OBS Studio either. On Windows (Vista and up), you cannot drag & drop images or other files from a non-administrator application onto any administrator application. There are some workarounds, mostly involving running another file explorer as administrator or running another application that has a file open dialog as administrator.

The problem is that the processes you drag from and to run as different users. See this post on superuser for more information: http://superuser.com/a/59106
