I'm back to ask a strange productivity question. Does anyone know how to drag overwrite in Windows 11?
In earlier Windows versions, I could drag a file on top of one with the same type to overwrite / replace it.
That was a GUI option?
I don't think I've ever used or considered that
yeah, that doesn't work by default on W10 for me
Yes, like how you get something that says "move to" or "copy to" it would say "overwrite" or "replace" or something of that sort.
yeah, but he want's drag over a file (different name, same extension) and have it overwrite
which I've never heard of or seen
I also, candidly, don't understand the value if you have to do it one-at-a-time
actually, I thought of a scenario
I think it was removed in a windows 10 update at some point. I remember being able to do it in the past. Also my win10 computer used to be win7 so maybe it was a thing back then.
you have one set of values, you want to assign to 100 different files, in a folder of 1,000+
I think your better bet is to copy those 100 files you want to change, into a subdirectory, and batch overwrite
rather than using the gui imo
Yeah I'm trying to do pretty much exactly that.
well good luck, I really don't think that was ever a default feature
possible it was an addon that came with winSCP or some FTP client
that baked itself into the Win10 context menu
I really don't think it was default, possible it was a reg flag that was dropped at some point
but more likely I think it was a feature with some batch editor or FTP program
really niche gui usecase either way

Yeah I imagine a lot of people complained when they accidentally replaced files, since you can't get them back easily.
For Spooky
It’s missing a drink holder
What do you do if someone tries to steal it Pika?
No one tries to steal it
I do not live in a low trust society Spooky
Also I don't leave it unattended
because I do not leave anything I own unattended
You told me about the Indians and Chinese
I know that first part is not true
The trick Spooky, is 99% of people who come to Canada go to 3 cities
Which is why Toronto and Vancouver are such shitholes
If you are outside of those major cities, Canada is pretty nice
I guess a lot of undesirables end up in Kingston too, but I never have to see them
(Kingston has the big prison where people who commit actual crimes like murder go in Ontario)
