I tried to copy a file between 2 Explorer windows from a Windows 7 to a Swish session on a Solaris host by drag and drop. Swish opens a new window with the error message: "An error occurred while transferring files: %1 could not be found".

Yuk. What a completely useless error message. It gives us no information at all to start diagnosing the problem. I though we'd got rid of the last of these error dialogues but apparently not (also #107).
So finding a solution to this is going to have to happen in stages, the first of which is to track down the code that reports this error and get it to give more useful details.
Please bear with us. Our day jobs are taking up all our time at moment.

Finally we've made a new release (v0.6.1). This one displays more detailed information when there's an error so should help us track down the source of this bug.
Please reply on this ticket with how you get on.
