Drag and Drop from Photos app to Safari does not work (Regression to iPhoto)

Drag And Drop from the new Photos app to Safari does not work. This worked perfectly with iPhoto before.
I use this a lot to upload photos to a Wordpress blog. Is there a way to make this work again? Its a major regression to the old iPhoto behaviour -- at least for my workflow.
Regards

Use the Media Browser. This was written for iPhoto but it still works for 95% of Photos. It's the first option you want:

  • I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?

  • File drag and drop from java app to file system - Linux problem

    Hi all,
    I am developing an application for files archiving, with a graphical user interface. The files are showed in a JList, and I implemented drag and drop feature for it. It works well for Windows platform, but not at all for Linux (Ubuntu).
    Under Linux, file export with DND from the archive to file system does not work.
    To extract a file with DND, we can't know the target destination folder, so I create a temp file (file extracted from the archive is wrote to OS tmp dir), and the system is expected to handle the DND action.
    The temp file is correctly created (original data is well retrieved), but Ubuntu does not want to copy or move it via DND.
    I get a system dialog window (while extracting file "test1") :
    Error while moving
    There was an error getting information about "[tmp/60lp1t7egl/test1]".

    Can it be a rights problem ?
    Any idea ?

    Until the 3rd party image editor developers provide us with the Photos extensions for using their app from within Photo we'll have to export to the Desktop, edit there in the apps and either import the new file into Photos or use it elsewhere.

  • Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

    I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011.  I can paste from Photos into Pages.  How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

    Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
    I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

  • I cannot drag and drop for Photos in 10.10.3

    I seem to be unable to drag and drop from the new Photos application in Yosemite 10.10.3.  I have tried this with two different applications including Adobe's Photoshop Elements 13.  It seems to work fine with other apple applications.  (can drag and drop to desktop and to pages - only two I've tried) 
    However, it is very frustrating not to be able to drag and drop from Photos to another photo editing software.  Additionally, when I try to open a file from photos while in Photoshop using the menu - Photoshop crashes.  It appears I have no way to edit my photos in Photoshop if I store them in Photos...anybody else?

    Photos is a brand new, completely rewritten application. Adobe (and others) have not yet added compatibility with it.
    Exporting your your images to the desktop, then bringing them back into Photos, is the only way for external editing right now.

  • Cannot drag and drop CERTAIN photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

    I cannot drag and drop certain photos to the desktop (Mac OS X 10.9.3) from iPhoto 9.5.1
    When I encounter this problem the pointer has a circle with a slash as I drag the photo to the desktop and the file will not copy over.  I'd say 25% of my photos suffer from this problem.
    Some things of note:
    - photos that are affected have been taken by variety of devices: iPhone, DSLR camera, or scanned in from film (no device is specific to this problem)
    - a photo that cannot be copied is located in the same subfolder as one that can be copied so it's not folder specific
    - I have trashed the iPhoto prefs files as well as the cache file in Mac OS X 10.9.3
    - I have repaired permissions and the database as well as rebuilt the database in iPhoto all to no avail

  • After sorting photos into albums, the albums disappeared on me. I dragged and dropped the photos and went back to check that they were in place before exiting the program. When I went back, the folder was there but no albums. Help!

    Working on an IMac - with IPhoto v.9.6 
    This is my first experience with IPhoto... trying to move files from a PC over to a Mac.
    I don't have a ton of photos but I created about 6 albums - standard albums - and dragged and dropped individual photos into each of the albums. I named each of the albums as well so I would know what was in each. After i was finished, I created a folder called 2014 and moved each of the albums into that folder. Before moving ANY of the albums, I opened each of them up to make sure that all the photos I wanted in each were indeed there - and since there were some errors on my part, I deleted any duplicates first. SO, I KNOW the photos were actually in each of the albums BEFORE i moved them into the 2014 folder.
    My intention was to then delete the photo files in my document file but once I got there I thought I would go back and double check the IPhoto file just to make sure... and the pictures were NOT in the albums where I had placed them... is there a need to save this before you move on and if so, to where and how? I was under the impression that once files were moved to albums, they remain there.
    The photos are still in the photo library but unsorted now again... I cannot even open the 2014 folder at this point.
    Thanks for any help!!

    Was back on IPhoto this morning. The folder did not open at all so I deleted it. Beside Albums, nothing showed at all. It was like I had done no work at all except to import my photo folder. Nothing was in my trash bin either.
    I started again and created one album at a time. I dragged and dropped photos into the album and exited out of IPhoto, opened up other programs and then returned to IPhoto to see if the album was still there and it was this time. I created a second album and did the same thing. This time, for some reason, the albums seem to be staying in place. I am not doing anything differently than last time. After creating three albums, I created a folder called 2014 and dragged and dropped the three albums into the folder and exited IPhoto. They were still there when I returned - YEAH! It seems to be working - for now! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my photos are not going to disappear but I am not going to delete my photo folder from my files just in case!
    Thanks for the suggestions but this may just have been a funny glitch... not sure what happened. I didn't change anything or do anything differently this time except that I am doing it one album at a time and exiting the program between creating each of them and coming back to check... very strange.

  • Drag and Drop from LR to other applications

    There was a thread going on D&D from LR to explorer.
    The other appliation problem I have is the apparent inability to drag and drop from lightroom into a file transfer window (e.g., file upload with SmugMug).
    The quick collection is an awesome way to organize a storyline of images from a shoot, select only the images needed, and prepare a shoot for upload. However, short of exporting to a folder first, is there a way to just drag and drop the file set from a LR view (filmstrip or thumbs) to another app? This would just be providing file handles, and I would be satisfied if it only grabbed the original images (pre-"develop").
    Anyone have any luck with this?
    -- Jeff

    No. And not likely anytime soon. Putting a Pointer/alias to SmugMug (if it is an uploader client app, not familiar with it) in the Export Actions Folder for Post Processing from Export is the best you can do at the monemt. To get LR rdits out of LR you have to Export. D&D just isn't going to do that for you.

  • Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

    I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
    I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
    I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

    Hi Pete,
    You can obtain scripts here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
    You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

    Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,
    Rob

  • Can't drag-and-drop from CD to Desktop

    I can't drag-and-drop a photo from an Iphoto CD to the Desktop. I was able to do this on my old 17"IMAC. But the new 20" won't allow me to this anymore. Once I drag it past the Iphoto window the cursor has a circle with a bar across. The MAC person at CompUSA couldn't help. Can you? His suggestion was to drag it to the Iphoto library and then drag it out of the library to the Desktop. Huh?

    In Iphoto, I select the albums I want to copy. I then hit burn CD. It then determines the amount of space needed. Then I hit burn CD again. Its begins burning the CD, then it verifies the CD, then ejects the CD when completed.
    When the CD is re-inserted, Iphoto displays it as a regular album. I select the album, then a file, and attempt to drag-and-drop that file to the desktop. The cursor appears as a circle with a bar and it won't allow a one-step drag-and drop as with the old 17" IMAC.

  • Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

    Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
    Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb?  I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way? 

    However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
    You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

    I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
    \\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
    It's not a link either, it's just the text.
    I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
    I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
    I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
    I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

    I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.
