[Windows] Cannot drag and drop PNG images to PowerPoint

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      When dragging a QImage from Qt application to PowerPoint the drop is ignored with Qt::IgnoreAction. This used to work in Qt 5.5.0 and before. The old functionality can be brought back by reverting https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/124045/ and https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/120904/ . Reverting the changes is only a workaround in a case where PowerPoint functionality is deemed important, because the mentioned changes fix issues in other applications (e.g. GIMP).

      The attached example application can be used to test. Just drag the boat image to PowerPoint.
