~(home directory, likely/home/user01) - Directory is writable (I can create files there via the terminal).
Local preview:

Expected Behavior
can upload file by drag-drop
Steps To Reproduce
Scenario A: Windows Explorer → remote preview
- Open Windows Explorer to
C:\Users\lihua1(e.g.C:\Users\Pictures). - In Wave, open a remote preview widget for
[email protected]at path~. - Arrange the windows so that Explorer and the remote preview visible4. In Explorer, left-click and hold on a file (e.g.
image.png). - Drag the file over the file list area (table of files) in the remote preview widget.
- Release the mouse button.
Observed:
- No visual highlight when hovering over the remote file list.
- No cursor change.
- On drop, nothing happens: no upload, no new file appears, no error or notification.
Expected:
- The remote preview widget should accept the drop and upload the file to
~on[email protected]. - At minimum, some visual feedback or error message.
Scenario B: local preview → remote preview
- Open local preview widget
(0f480605)atC:\Users\. - Open remote preview widget
([email protected]. - Make sure both preview widgets are visible at the same time in the Wave UI.
- In the local preview, single-click a file to select it.
- and hold on that file row, then drag into the file list area of the remote preview6. Release the mouse button.
Observed:
- Same behavior: no highlight, no cursor change, no upload, no error, no new file.
Expected:
- Drag-and-drop between two preview widgets should copy/upload the file from local to remote.
Context Menus UI
- Right-clicking in the remote preview’s file list:
- There is no "Upload", "Paste", or similar item.
not see any toolbar button or other obvious control to choose a local file to upload.
- There is no "Upload", "Paste", or similar item.
So currently, from the UI perspective on this machine, there appears to be no working way to upload files via the preview widget.
