I'm not going to speculate on the ability to drag images directly from the web directly into a desktop application.

I can do it with IrfanView

Just installed Irfanview on this laptop for the first time, and still cannot drag images from Web pages on 22H2.

I will mention at this point that the only modification I've made to Win11 is installing Explorer Patcher, which I've been using for almost a year with no problems until the 22H2 upgrade.

Might as well keep Irfanview anyway. Haven't used it since XP... not sure why.

EDIT: In fact, just discovered that I cannot drag images into Irfanview from any Explorer window, either. The cursor changes to the little icon that indicated I can do it, but when I release the mouse button the image doesn't appear. This is more annoying/frustrating than it should be....

I guess I can't be of any help as I don't use Explorer Patcher, but I can drag&drop from anywhere.

However, I'd like to thank you for this thread, as I never knew about dragging straight off of web pages. Makes it super easy to download and save images.

I'm with you. I never knew it was possible to drag and drop an image from a web page.

And here I always thought I missed the memo when I discovered it years ago. 😄
