Question

Drag and Drop Compatible Files to open in new Elements 2018... So far won't work.

I upgraded from Elements 14 last week.  I had used Version 10 before that and have always placed the Elements icon in my iMac Dock, and easily drag a file to the icon, drop, and it opens in Elements.  So far the only way I can open files since the upgrade to 2018 is by right clicking the file, click "open", then choose and click the Elements option... then it opens.  But hey, that's a real "drag" to have to do each time I use Elements.

Hoping there's some "easy" answer to fix it so I can go merrily along as before.  Thanks for the help I know I'll receive... hopefully soon.

    Not sure exactly how I did it, but fooling around I somehow found a new icon in the iMac Dock that adds "Editor" to the Elements Name... and this icon accepts the files as they should.  Hey, I fixed it!  Even though I don't know how I did it.
