Copy and paste files from Windows Explorer

Hi everybody,
For a part of my application I need to copy and paste files and folders from Windows explorer to the vi shown in the picture.
Does anybody know how to implement this with the clipboard functionality.
Also drag and drop would be very nice (but thats maybe a later step...)
Best regards, Helmut

Hello Friedr,
drag and drop is the easy part!
Use a path control, this will naturally allow drag and drop. If a file is dropped on this a 'Value Change' event is fired! with this event you can load the data into the picture. To get a nice drag and drop functionality you should make the path transparent and resize to the size of the picture control. This will work fluently!
To use the clipboard, LV 8 has an functionality for this, I think it is an application event.
Success Ton
PS I didn't see you image maybe it was removed when you did a preview these have the bad habit of removing the attachments!

Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up
until 2am last night), I want to cancel my subscription.
Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it
comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
Please advise.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.

Unable to open .xls and .xlsx files from windows explorer or from Microsoft outlook using MS Office 2007

When I double click on an .xls or .xlsx file Excel will open up, but I never see the file open up.
If I right click on the excel file and say open with excel I then get the following error:
"Windows cannot find file c:\test\test.xls. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again...."
Everywhere I looked seems to indicate the file associations was messed up so per a technical document I deleted the .xls and .xlsx association and then ran the Office 2007 repair and rebooted. Still not working even after office puts the .xls and .xlsx
file associations in.
Here is what I see the in .xls and .xlsx for the &Open action:
Application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e
UseDDE: Checked
DDE Message: [open("%1")]
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Greg

In the ened I had to go into Excel Options, Advanced, General, and uncheck the "ignore other applicaitons....". BUT this only worked after doing the Office 2007 repair.

Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly. When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open. Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem? (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

thx

Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency.

Hello. Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency. Only by importing saved svg file I have transparency.
In official Adobe (promo) Tutorial in the same operation - svg is transparent, link: Import SVG | Adobe Muse CC tutorials
Please help me!. It would be very usefull copy&paste svg with transparency.
Andrew Maola

Hi.
Thank you for explaining the theory about rendering in Muse but something doesn't work.
I'm running on Win7 - CC2014.2. on 2 different computers. Efe Of course the transparency displays correctly when I preview my page in the browsers (All browsers - also IE11).
Also in preview mode svg is very good but in design mode
In order to render the SVG at design time, Muse hands the SVG to Safari on the Mac and Internet Explorer on Windows and asks it for a bitmap. This bitmap is only used at design time and when viewing the site in a browser that does not support SVG. Unfortunately, the bitmap returned by Internet Explorer strips out partial transparency. Fully transparent pixels should be preserved at design time and all transparency should be preserved when you actually view your site in the browser.
We have not seen or heard of differences in the handling of transparent pixels between copy/pasting and save/import. Hence, I'm wondering if the copy/paste issue is only with partially transparent pixels and if the case that succeeds in a save/import workflow is for fully transparent pixels. To be clear, this transparency issue should only be during design time on Windows. There shouldn't be any issues on the Mac or in the browser.

Can't copy and paste files using RDP session in server 2012

I'm running windows 8, but I have also verified on a windows 7 machine as well. We have server 2012 installed on a machine
I use remote desktop to get into. I cannot copy files from my local pc and use paste to get them to the server. I could do this with server 2008. Is there some setting I have to change or does this not work with server 2012?
FYI, clipboard is checked when I open my remote desktop connection window. If I connect into a win server 2008 r2 machine from the same local machine, I can copy and paste files
just fine.

Hi,
I believe RDS clipboard redirection should be enabled by default also on Windows Server 2012. Is there perhaps is a Group Policy Object active that is configured to disable Clip Board Redirection? Either on the computer or the user OU. If not:
You did not explicitly state this, but I'm assuming that you are running in Application Mode (meaning you did not install the RD Session Host role) ? If so please check the registry on the Windows Server 2012 destination server and look for:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableClip
this should be set to
0, to make allow Clipboard Redirection
Also check the key below:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Addins\Clip Redirector
This should have:
Name
REG_SZRDPClip
Type
REG_DWORD0x00000003
If you did run the RD Session Host role, and you have done so using a Scenario Based Deployment (Scenario
Based Deployment of RDS in Windows Server 2012 ) you will have a Remote Desktop Management Service GUI available as pat of the Server Manager with which you can enable or disable ClipBoard Redirection from within a GUI on a Session Collection level
or you can use PowerShell
Using Powershell to install, configure and maintain RDS in Windows Server 2012

Copy and paste image from IE to Illustrator

Dear Illustrator users,
I need to copy and paste images from IE10 or IE11 (Internet Explorer) to Illustrator (CS6, CC).
I right-click image, choose "copy" in Internet Explorer
now I can paste it to mspaint, word, photoshop, etc. It works fine..
but when I try to paste image to Illustrator, it pastes url link instead of image.
I know this problem comes with IE10. When I downgrade to IE9, it start to work fine.
Any suggestion?
Kind Regards,
Jarda

Hi Jacob,
Thank you for a quick answer. Your suggestion is correct, but saving image to a file is an additional step.
Since I do this task "thousands a day", this is unacceptable
Any other suggestion?
Regards,
Jarda

I can't copy and paste files in finder arrrgghh

Ok im not the most tech savvy person around and this is my first imac, I dont operate windows on it and am stumped. I am trying to transfer my movies onto a media player and external hard drive but it just wont do it. when I just had my previous pc all I had to do was copy and paste and am ready to scream. Does anyone have any answers????

I don't think this is necessarily a disk format problem. I've been noticing the same thing the past few weeks. I used to copy and paste files frequently using the Finder but it no longer works. I have the Copy option in the contextual menu when a file is selected but I no longer have a Paste option after doing the copy.
All mounted drives on my system are formatted Mac OS Extended and the operation fails even when attempting to copy files residing on the boot drive to another folder on the same boot drive. Digging around for a cause/solution now.
UPDATE:
The problem in my case was an application called Clipboard Cleaner that strips all formatting from text you copy to the clipboard so you can copy from something like a Word doc and paste into an email without all the Word formatting coming along as well. It runs in the background and apparently disables the ability to copy/paste files.

Can't copy and paste files

Why won't my MacBook Pro let me copy and paste files, particularly from my external hard drives (to each other) and (to my computer). They are both new and it shouldn't be a problem.
Please help!

Is it possible that the hard drives, which you said are new, have not been formatted for the mac? If they are formatted NTFS (which is the standard format for new drives) you will only be able to read from the drives, not write...therefore you will not be able to cut and paste.
To check the format of the drive, from the Utilities folder, open the application "Disk Utility". Select the Hard drive from the left side of that app, and then click on the "Partition" tab. Then click on the big Partition block found under "Volume Scheme" and see what it says beside "Format". If it is NTFS, this is your problem.
The best solution if the drives will only be used on the mac is to use the Disk Utility Application and reformat the hard drives by selecting the drive you want to format on the left side of the app, and select the "Partition" tab. Under Volume Scheme select "1 partition" and then for format, select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Then Click Apply. PLEASE NOTE THAT DOING THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON THAT HARD DRIVE!!!!
If the drives need to be used on a windows machine as well, you can download and install this plugin for your mac that will make it read and write to NTFS although it will do so slower than a disk formatted for the mac. Here is a link: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g Using this option will NOT require you to loose any data that might already be on the disks.
Hope this helps!
