Thanksf or the heads up on that.

Dblibs and the database ( its mysql ) has become so critical to my operation that its scary. Loosing it would mean we would stop work.     

We have created a custom python/flask web based application that does all our library management, but it goes further than that...vWe now track all our inventory with the same database, and we use the database for creating pnp machine files.   Its a massive time saver.    The next thing to do is to automate the creation of part purchasing orders...

So the bug I mentioned with drag and drop has been confirmed by Altium and they are working on a fix. It only affects the Fall Creators Update. M$ have introduced mouse gestures or something, even tho there are currently no settings for it. If you have videos scaling set to anything other than 100% it won't affect you either apparently.

Drag and Droping tabs actually still works, but you have to 'throw' the tab rather than simply dragging and dropping gracefully. If the mouse isn't moving why you let go of the button, it doesn't work.
