CS5 Bridge repeatedly crashing during drag and drop

I've recently purchased Photoshop CS5 and I'm getting used to a new workflow using raw (DNG) images with my new camera. Since raw images pretty much must be browsed within Bridge (would be nice if Windows Explorer could recognize DNG files some day), I'm learning the ins and outs of working in Bridge.
My problem has been repeated crashing of Bridge while sorting and moving around a bunch of images. I find it easier to view thumbnails in Bridge on one screen and use Windows Explorer on a second screen to create subfolders and as a place to drag-and-drop selected photos. I can usually move several groups of images to Windows Explorer before Bridge crashes but I'd say Bridge never runs for more than a minute or two between crashes. I've read a few other messages on this forum which have suggested holding down <ctrl> while starting Bridge to reset the preferences. That seems (though possibly coincidentally) to have changed the place where Bridge crashes from the StackHash module to the ntdll.dll module. The following is an example of the problem signature of one of these crashes in case this looks familiar or provides any sort of clue:

Before anybody suggests I am running Windows7 Home Premium (x64) with an Intel i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. I have all the available updates applied to the CS5 software, my video driver, and Windows itself. The problem is persistent and repeatable and rebooting and closing down all other applications have no effect.
Am I the only CS5 user in the known universe having such issues or are there known problems dragging and dropping with Bridge?

This may be causing the problem. Drag and drop requires more resources of the OS and video card. Can you use "move or copy to" instead and see it that works?
Also, I can see no reason to use Windows Explorer to create subfolders and your method to drag and drop may cause other problems. If you move files with an XMP file attached make sure it moves with it.
I think you are making it more difficult that you need to. Also, Win. Exp does not display thumbs of Raw images as you mentioned.
If you want 2 browsers open click File/new window and now you have 2 copies of Bridge open. Put one on each monitor.
If you enter ntdll.dll in a web search you will see it is somewhat of a gereric hard drive error.
Hope this helps.

Firefox crashes after dragging and dropping any component.

When the TorButton add-on is enabled, Firefox will crash when an attempt is made to drag and drop any component. This includes tabs, text, images, and any other item drag-and-drop-able under normal circumstances.
This is a known bug and info lives at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715885 but I don't know if any fix has been found.
I am running version 3.6 of Firefox, which I recognize is rather out of date. This is because I have yet to update from OS X 10.4.
Thank you for any input you have.

It looks like the patch for this crash hasn't been checked in, and unfortunately, since firefox 3.6.28 is the last planned update for 3.6, it doesn't look like it will ever be fixed on that branch :(

How to outline selected cells during drag and drop in the jtable

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time to find out how to outline selected cells during drag in the jtable, but I did not find the answer.
Can anybody give me a tip, where to read more about this problem or even better, give an example...
I have the following situation:
1.Table has 10 rows and 10 columns
2.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION) and setCellSelectionEnabled(true)
3.user select 5 cells in 4th row (for example cell45,cell46,cell47,cell48 and cell49)
4.user starts dragging. During dragging an outline should be drawn. Outline should be a rectangular with width of 5 cells and height of one cell. Outline should move according to the mouse position.
5.rectangular disappears when dropped
Regards,
Primoz

In "createTransferable" you can create a drag image
which you can paint in "dragOver" and clear in "drop" method of DropTarget :

How to change mouse cursor during drag and drop

Hi Guys,
Iam performing a Drag and drop from Table1(on top of the figure) to Table2(down in the figure).
see attached figure
http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e80060d9d3.jpg
Have implemented the Drag and drop functionality using "Transferable" and "TransferHandler"using the java tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo
Now My problem is that ,I want to make the 1st column in Table2(ie: Column2-0) not to accept any drops so that the cursor appears like a "No-Drop" cursor but with selection on the column cell during a drop action.
Also when I move my cursor between "column2-0" and "column2-1",want to to have the "No-Drop" and "Drop" cursor to appear depending on the column.
How can I achieve it using the TransferHandle class.Dont want to go the AWT way of implementing all the source and target listeners on my own.
Have overridded the "CanImort" as follows:
public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
     JTable table = (JTable)c;
Point p = table.getMousePosition();
/* if(p==null)
     return false;
int selColIndex = table.columnAtPoint(p);
if(selColIndex==0)
     return false;*/
If I execute the above commented code,The "No-Drop" Icon appears in "column2-0",but no cell selection.Also If I move to "column2-1",which is the 1st column,Still get the "No-Drop" Icon there,also with no cell selection.
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))) {
return true;
return false;
Thanks in advance.....
Edited by: Kohinoor on Jan 18, 2008 3:47 PM

If you found the selection column based on the mouse pointer, then based on the column, you can set the cursor pointer as any one as below :
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

Issue during drag and drop in vb

Hi Uwe,
I want an urgent help on the following scenario.
When i do a drag and drop anywhere on vb other than a link or spot.The screen freezes and when i try to do at lead selection on any of the FPM objects at the same time I get an assert condition violated dump.After my analysis I think its still possess the drop event when i try to do any other action on fpm at same time.This issue is happening for me in ie11 but for ie10 its working fine.
Please suggest some remedy!
Thanks
Siju

Hello Siju,
I am aware of multiple issues with drag and drop in the context of VB embedded in FPM/WD. In order to sort this out correctly and get the right solution I suggest to open a support ticket on BC-WD-CMP-FPM.
Best regards,
Uwe

IPhoto file creation date inconsistencies during drag and drop

I have noticed that if I drag and drop a photo from iPhoto to Finder, the file creation dates in Finder are inconsistent.
(This question is related to drag and drop only and not File->Export, which always uses the export date and timestamp for the file creation date and thus does not suit my needs).
TEST A -- If the EXIF DateTimeOriginated is 01/01/2013, and today's date is 03/03/2013, then:
In some cases when I drag a file to Finder, the EXIF date is used as the file modification/creation date in Finder
In some cases, today's date is used as the file modification/creation date in Finder
In some cases, a date in between the EXIF date and today's date is used
It appears that for case A1, these are files that do not have a modified copy. That is, if you select the photo in iPhoto and then click "File" -> "Reveal In Finder", the "Modified File" choice will be greyed out.
For cases A2 & A3, iPhoto has inexplicably decided to create modified versions of these files either today or sometime in the past.
TEST B -- I have read that unexplained modifications are tied to the auto-rotate function in cameras, and it does seem to be the case when I performed the test below:
Select a large group of landscape format photos (these would not have been auto-rotated), then drag and drop to Finder. The file creation dates are set to the EXIF date
Add some portrait photos to the group in (1). Now the file creation date of ALL photos including the non auto-rotated photos are set to the current date
The behaviour in B2 is clearly wrong, since the landscape photos should be the same as in B1. This is bug #1.
Furthermore, iPhoto appears to be inconsistent with when these modifications are made. For example, I dragged & dropped an auto-rotated photo on 02/02/2013, then dragged & dropped it again today, then the file creation date in Finder (and also the date of the modified file in iPhoto, as shown in iPhoto File->Reveal In Finder->Modified File) can either the EXIF date (01/01/2013), the late of the last drag & drop (02/02/2013), or today's date (03/03/2013); there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to this. This is bug #2.
In any case, saying "you should never use drag & drop in iPhoto" (as I have read in some other forum posts) isn't a solution, because Apple should either (a) support this function correctly or (b) remove it altogether. Furthermore, I regularly burn photos to disk for others so having the file date and timestamps correctly set to the EXIF date helps keeping the photos sorted in the directory listings for multiple OS, so File->Export isn't a solution.

File data is file data. Exif is photo data. A file is not a photo. It's a container for a photo.
When you export you're not exporting a file. You're exporting a Photo. The medium of export is a new file. That file is created at the time of export, so that's its creation date. The Photo within that file is dated by the Exif.
There are apps that will modify the file date to match the Exif.
The variation you're seeing is likely due to the changes in how the iPhoto library works over the past few versions. Drag and drop is handy, but is not a substitute for exporting, nor intended to be.

How to address relative cell in TileList during drag-and-drop processing

Is there a way to address the tile cell being dropped onto
during the dragDrop function processing?
private function myDragDrop(e:DragEvent):void {
// e.whatthe#*&$
<mx:TileList id="tilelist1" rowCount="9" columnCount="9"
dragDrop="myDragDrop(event);" dataProvider="{anyOldAC}"/>
If I'm dropping an object on the 3rd row and 5th column, I'd
like to be able to manipulate the15th entry in the dataProvider
without having to figure out the cell number from the component
geometry and mouseX/mouseY. Using component geometries just seems
WAY too brittle.

Got the answer from Joan Lafferty on the FlexCoders forum:
Use calculateDropIndex(event:DragEvent) that is a function
for a TileList. In will return the index where the item was
dropped.
And that works:
private function myDragDrop(e:DragEvent):void {
var dropIndex:int = tilelist1.calculateDropIndex(e);
Alert.show("dropIndex: " + dropIndex);
Thanks Joan!

Premiere Element 10 crashes on drag and drop disc menu

Hi Mr Romano
You want to know why I wouldn't go near adobe again?
So this is what happened.
After paying for prem elements 10 and spending a week trying via adobe's tech support, you and the forums to find a solution for their program crashing, their only solution was buy a new version and we dont support programmes that are 2 yrs old.
It took them 3 days to get back to me to tell me that they would award me 20% discount from the cost of an upgrade.
When I finally got through to sales, the saleman told me that his system doesnt support at 20% discount but only a 15% discount. It took him 45 mintues to get an ok to give 20%. Then he discovered that I am no longer domicile in NY so he cant help me. Sent me to the UK support line to start the entire process again.
After 3 days and hours on hold with UK support/sales, they told me that cant transfer the 20% discount because that was given by the US customer services and that they need some time to get authorisation.
Two days later they got back to me and said they can give me the 20% discount from an inflated prices of 160%! ie instead of 20% of $79.99, now they can give me 20% off £79.99! I explained that this was unfair, they asked for another 48 hrs to escalate, still waiting for them to come back to me.
So I just called the USA support gave them an america cc and they finally agreed after 30 minutes with a friendly girl who could actually speak English with an intelligible accent that I could get prem elements 12 for 20% off $79.99.
Great? Well not really.
The stupid girl charged me $70 for premiere photoshop 12! I only discovered she had sent me the wrong serial number once the email arrived.
I called her back, she apologized and opologized and then took a further $70 promising to refund me the first $70 and explained that she could only refund me after she charged me for the correct license.
Once she charged me for the second time, she said, just in order to make sure you get your money back, pls hold I need to transfer you to refunds! Oy no!! Another 30 mins on hold.
So when I finally got through to some guy who spoke English with such a heavy Indian accent that he could of been offering me dinner for two, he promised to escalate my case and that someone with a heavier Indian accent would call me back within the next five days in order to give me a refund.
So, NO, I wont be buying from this pathetic company again.
I appreciate your help and support on this matter and realise you are not to blame for adobe's clear lack of support or the slightest regard for its clients time or money.

GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

Hello,
In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
* Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
But I can't make it working.
As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Franz

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Getting a stop symbol while dragging and dropping in IE9 and IE8

Hello,
I have implemented the drag and drop of row in a table. The functionality is working fine but in IE 8 and IE9 when I drag and drop the row over another row it is showing a stop sign, though in-spite of that stop symbol the drag and drop is working fine. I am using jdev 11.1.1.6
Thanks

Hi,
The cursor is under the control of the drag and drop framework during drag and drop operations. So if the behavior is normal on FF and /or Chrome and you have a support contract, please file a service request asking the analysts to look at your test case. Alternatively you can try and set.
If you don't have a support contract (still we are interested to get this issue checked), please send a test case to myself (mention your OS and the exact IE versions - you find that in the Help / About). In the latter case zip the workspace, rename the zip to unzip and use the mail address in my OTN profile.

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
I tried accessing the two preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
Any idea what's going on and what to do?
Thanks!!!
Amy

There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

Unable to drag and drop images with manual sort in CS2 bridge

I've had CS2 for several years now but for some reason, just never really needed to do a manual sort. Now that I DO need to, it doesn't seem to be working. I have the view set for manual and no matter what kind of working space I use, the program does not allow me to drag and drop the thumbnails into different positions. All I get is that circle with a diagonal line through it, showing me that what I'm trying isn't going to work.
Any ideas?

DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
Thanks Curt!
You da man!!!

If i use PS5 the order lasso,drag and drop or letters the win vista crashes down. Can anybody help me?

Now that I'm looking at it, I don't have it... but I still have the problem:(. I rebooted the PRAM, I cleaned my permissions, run utilities checks, nothing helps, I'm at the end of my wits. I called apple - all I got was bad attitude... I don't know what to do, this disfunction makes it impossible for me to work....
does anybody know what I could do to fix this issue?
