Opening project files with drag-drop

[Mike Kujbida]

I can open a veg file by double-clicking it or dropping it on my desktop Vegas shortcut.

Likewise as Mike said…. So Im not understanding clearly
what else you are speaking of.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I’m talking about opening a project by drag-drop, not just opening.

When there are already running Vegas processes available, I don’t double-click on the project and run new copies of Vegas because reusing the already running processes is faster and wiser with memory usage.

Drag-drop opening used to be very handy for me for quick-opening projects listed in a Windows Explorer search results. since it’s disabled, now I have to work like you mentioned above, running a new process for each project.

I think it’s a tiny detail and won’t bother many, but it slows down my work. I don’t know how many of you even noticed it’s gone but I want the drag-drop opening function back.

Vegas 8 is the last version I remember where you could drag and drop a veg file on the title bar to open the project.

Hmm, interesting… Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10 lets me drop a project file onto the titlebar (and anywhere else for that matter) and it opens that project.

I guess the behaviour would be a bit different in Vegas Pro – dropping a VEG onto the timeline probably should next that VEG into the current project, but I would expect that dropping onto the titlebar or elsewhere on the interface would open that project.

I’ve been using: select .veg, R-Click, drag (onto Tracks), select Open Project from the context menu.

Have not installed Vegas 12 though. Would be annoying if they took this out.

Right-Click-Drag works! Thank you very much for that tip Tyson Onaga.
I thought they disabled that feature but it appears they just hide it:)
