Is this a known issue, or something that is no longer supported?
I have some file rename scripts in my finder sidebar. I used to be able to select files in the finder and drop them on the scripts in the sidebar to have the scripts run. With Catalina it does nothing when I drop the files. The scripts are not executed. If I move the scripts to the desktop, drag/drop works as expected.

Looks like some programmers at Apple should have serious hand slapping. This is such a basic feature in past systems. How could they let this slip by?
I don't want to have to write script to correct this. Hope the brains at Apple get this figured out soon.
Dear Jack, did you get any satisfaction with this problem. I have this issue with Catalina. I seem to have to send files by email in order to save them to the correct place. Very odd
Superb Thanks. it works 100%
HT204895 on the new MacBooks this is a recently changed gesture.
System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click. The first option reads "Look up & data detectors". Immediately below this text, there's a dropdown with the options "Force Click with one finger" and "Tap with three fingers". Select the "Tap with three fingers" options and try dragging/dropping.
