I was able to reproduce the problem by copying the image to itself. (In all other cases, dropping an image + copy works fine.) Of course, XMLmind XML Editor should not allow this. This bug will be fixed in next release[*]. Thank you very much for taking the time to report the problem. Meanwhile, as a workaround, please make sure to click on radio button "Reference as" when the source file and the destination file of the image are the same. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/being_productive.html#drop_graphics_files --- [*] To a certain extent. It will probably be still possible to copy \\server\icons\foo.gif to Z:\icons\foo.gif when "\\server\" is connected to "Z:".
