File list capacity

Postby chrisjj » Fri Apr 17, 2026 7:29 pm

On the latest version, what's the maximum number of files that I can place on the list by dragging and dropping from another program?

From Agent Ransack, 100 works, but ~1312 fails - silently!

Thanks.

Workaround: process in manual batches. Not great.

In the 21st century? Thanks but I hope you're wrong! Bulk means bulk!

In the latest version from the Windows File Explorer drag and drop function, I thought it was more... need to check this in the code.
Make sure you have the latest release plus build of BRU.

Drag Drop Limit

I dont know if this helps, because using the portable v3.5.0.2 and 'F7' to first clear the file-listing.
Then dragging 20K files was very slow, but they did all finally present inside of the file-listing.

I also dragged 1K files into the new version, and could Ctrl-A them for renaming, but without any display in the list.
So really without any preview for the NewNames, most users will naturally be afraid to conduct any renaming.
