Re: Sending Files - File Path Not Retained

Greetings Julien,

No setting. And no, you're not the first to complain.

But if you're sending a bunch of files at once, you can just open up the folder in Explorer,
drag the files to the conversation text area (where you type, not where their text appears).
Not only that, but you can select multiple files and drag them in for multiple requests at
the same time.

Hi Julien,

This is one of those bugs which has been reported over and over, yet never fixed sadly.
