Local browser does not remember file selection after transfer

Just started using WinSCP and I quite like it but there are a few things not working the way I like and I'm hoping there's a setting I can enable or disable.

If I select multiple files in my local browser and then drag them over to the remote browser, WinSCP immediately unselects all the files I had selected. This is annoying because I frequently have to copy those same files to multiple directories.

Is there a setting that's causing them to be unselected, or is there a setting I can enable to keep them selected?

I thought maybe the local browser was automatically refreshing but I only see such an option for the remote browser (which I've disabled) and I thought that might be it because I have synchronized browsing enabled so I thought it might be refreshing both panels, but that didn't make any difference. Anybody have any other ideas?

Re: Local browser does not remember file selection after transfer

Indeed, WinSCP unselects the files as they are transferred. You can restore the selection by going to Mark > Restore Selection.

Can you describe step by step, what you are doing to select and transfer the files, so that after the transfer the command is disabled?

I connect to my server
At this point "Restore Selection" is disabled
I select two files (for example) by holding the control key
At this point "Clear Selection" is enabled but "Restore Selection" still not
I drag and drop both files over to the server
Both files are unselected
Restore Selection" is still disabled

I'm doing the same and it works for me.

I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.
