Dragging images to desktop unpredictable.

MacPro 3.1 (early 2008)
(3) NEC Monitors - all ATI Video Cards.
Last week i made the jump from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion via Clean Install. Other than having to give up a few apps that do not have an upgrade path, everything has been doing remarkably well so far (much less painful than expected).
One anoying thing I have noticed is that when I drag an image from any application to the desktop, I cannot predict where the icon will show up (i.e. could be on any of my three screens anywhere)? In the past any time I dragged say an attachment from MAIL or say an Image from a Safari Google serach to the desktop, the icon would always appear right under where I released the mouse button. Now I can drag it to the middle of screen 2 and it may pop up in the lower right corner of screen 3 - you just never know? Even sucessive drags of images back-to-back scatters them across all my monitors.
Am I the only one experiencing this?
Any ideas?

Do you get a real PNG file or a JPG file that has a .png file extension?

Safari 3.2: Can't drag images to desktop!?

Hi there.
I just downloaded Safari 3.2 - and I can no longer drag images to my desktop. When I try to do this, the image converts to a weblog or pagesource ( instead of a .gif, jpeg, .png - like it did with the previous version)
Anyone else having this problem? And how can I fix this?
Thank you

sorry for my post. I was able to solve it. I made iPhoto find the library again. I put my whole iPhoto library on the desktop and then I opened iPhoto and made it find the library on the desktop. And then it worked! And after that I put my iPhoto library back to where it should be, opened up iPhoto and made it find the library again. And now I can drag pictures to the desktop again
hmm... I wrote kinda crappy... well I hope you understand anyway...

Opening/Dragging Images from Desktop into Photoshop CS4

I'm trying to import/drag/open a png image file from finder, my desktop, or anywhere on my hard drive into an existing photoshop document. Unfortunately, the image does not drop into the existing document; it just bounces off. No new layer is created. When I try to import the photo manually from File-->Open, the image is opened in a new document instead of the existing one.
This only occurs for images saved on my hard drive. Any image pulled from a web browser and dragged/dropped into the document creates a layer. I'm running Snow Leopard.
I've installed the latest software updates to Snow Leopard and installed the latest CS4 patch, version 11.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Alex Doan

Excuse me

That's because when you "drag" from the web browser, you are performing a copy-and-paste from one application to another one. The Finder is not involved. As I said earlier, "The Finder knows nothing about dragging Photoshop layers."
My original post was poorly written. Please ignore my digression on file-->open, which loads the image into a new layer in a new document, which it has always done and like you said, is normal behavior.
I was emphasizing that I can't find a way to directly insert a photo from the OS (Snow Leopard) running CS4 into an existing document in one step. The directory path of the file on the OS is meaningless in regard to this behavior.
Tai Lao wrote:That is perfectly normal, expected behavior. The Finder is not involved. As I said earlier, "Are you suggesting it used to behave any differently for you earlier? ??? !!
I am running CS5 on Snow Leopard on another computer. Dragging and dropping a picture located anywhere on the OS into an existing document works flawlessly, and loads the image into a new layer within the open document.
You've lost the script by focusing on the finder. The file path of the image, whatever it is:
/Users/alex/Desktop/image.png
/Users/alex/Documents/image.png
/Users/alex/Pictures/image.png
should be meaningless.
Dragging and dropping an image from OS X to Photoshop is the rule and this failure the exception.
There is something I'm not doing or a misconfiguration causing this.

New window opens when dragging image to desktop

When I drag an image from a browser (say Chrome) onto the desktop, an all new desktop finder window opens. How do I turn this off, I can't seem to find any setting for this. Am I just not seeing it, or is there no setting to turn this off.
Thanks for any help?

Control (right) - click on the image and use the
either of the two Save Image options. I have all downloads go to a Scan Me folder hence the Save Image to "Scan Me". That doesn't open another Finder window.

Is there a way to prevent dragging images to a desktop?

I am building a MUSE website for an "artist" client. He has a large inventory of over 400 paintings. He is concerned about any viewer being able to drag his art to their desktop. Is there a way to lock down that function and prohibit viewers from dragging images off their browser to their computer?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please refer to the following link Re: How do I protect images from being downloaded in Muse?

IPhoto '08 - can't drag images

Unable to drag folders of images from desktop or CD into an iPhoto album. Unable to drag images from iPhoto to Desktop.

deloresj:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It might be a font problem. iPhoto relies on the Helvetica font to show the number of files selected and being dragged. Open Font Book and make sure you have the Helvetica font installed and activated. If it is, deactivated it and then reactivate it. That should jump start iPhoto's dragging capability.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Implementing drag and drop across components with drag image...

Hey all,
Finally got the hang of drag and drop. Not too hard, but a little time consuming. I found an article showing how to capture and drag a BufferedImage within a JTree. When you click and drag a node, it creates a BufferedImage of the node on screen and "ghosts" it a bit, which has a very appealing effect.
However, when I try to drag this image to a JList component, it disappears. So I created the same affect in the JList component. Now you can drag the image from the tree to the list and vice versa. However, the problem is, the image does not "fly over" the borders of the two components (butted up against each other) with the mouse. The image seems to go under the borders, while the mouse floats above everything.
What I would like to do is be able to drag the image all over the application, perhaps even the desktop in the case of a SDI application. I want to be able to see this image drag from my Java app over the Windows Explorer folder, just like how you can do that with Windows Explorer, dragging an image of the selected node into any app that supports the drop. I know we can handle the "transfer" data from explorer and vice versa, but how to be able to keep an image with the mouse?
My best guess is somehow using the Glass pane, grabbing a ref to its BufferedImage (if that is even what is there), and drawing the dragged item in that pane. But, then, how will the image move over the desktop outside of the app, where a glass pane is not?
Is there a way to draw on top of anything, anywhere, but still be able to redraw the background as the image moves with the mouse? There are times where the image may be big, so I don't want to have to capture the underlying screen as an image covering the size of the drag image to restore it as the drag image moves around.
Thank you.

We know cursors support some degree of transparence because they have shapes other than blocks.
I've done some playing around with
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(....);The sad news is, it seems that as soon as a pixel's alpha value is greater than 0, it automatically becomes 100% opaque.
The best you can do, is to take your image, and divide it into a pixel-checkerboard, and set the alpha value of alternating pixels to 0.
e.g.
BufferedImage i = new BufferedImage(32, 32, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        int[] data = ((DataBufferInt)i.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
        boolean on = true;
        for (int z=0; z<data.length; z++)
            if (on)
                data[z] = 0xffffffff;
            else
                data[z] = 0x00000000;
            on = !on;
            if (z%32==0) on = !on;
        Cursor hazyWhite = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(i, new Point(0,0), "hw");

InDesign CC - User not able to drag images into.

ENG:
I can start the software only with administrative privileges;
If you run it as a local user of the machine, which is a domain user set as administrator of the machine, it crashes: freeze of the main windows with no chance of closure; only from task manager i can close it.
But, if i run it as admin (from the local account, using the properties "run as administrator" of the executable file), the software starts successfully but there is another thing that does not work: dragging images. I can only select if from a menu "Insert". If i try to drag the image from desktop to a new Indesign doc, i'm not enabled to (icon of ban).
All these things do not occur if I log on windows with the user "administrator".
Scenario:
Windows 7 SP1;
PC is part of a windows domain;
User Domain set as administrator of the Pc.
ITA:
E' possibile avviare l'esecuzione del software Indesign solo impostando sul file eseguibile l'esecuzione come administrator. Se questa opzione non viene impostata, il software va in crash: si blocca la schermata principale senza possibilità di terminare l'applicazione se non tramite task manager.
Inoltre, eseguendo InDesign con privilegi amministrativi, il che comporta inizialmente un corretto caricamento della schermata principale, non è possibile trascinare file di immagine all'interno dell'applicativo; solo selezionando da menù è possibile inserire l'immagine che si vuole utilizzare.
L'utente di dominio che esegue il login sul terminale è impostato come administrator locale; non ci dovrebbero essere queste limitazioni.
Se il login viene effettuato proprio con l'utente administrator, il software non presenta queste anomalie.
Scenario:
Windows 7 SP1
Pc facente parte di un dominio windows;
Utente del dominio che esegue il software impostato come amministratore del Pc locale.

Drag jpg from Desktop to Artboard

Now I am using Adobe CC (Photoshop and Illustrator), I am not able to do so. The mouse cursor will turn into a "no entry" icon when I try dragging a jpg into Adobe Illustrator CC or Photoshop CC. How to solve this problem?
During Adobe CS6, I have the habit of dragging images directly from desktop to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. It opens without problem.

Hmmm, it works for me. I'm on a Mac, though. Have you tried several different jpegs? Is it only jpegs, or everything?

Why can't I drag images directly onto illustrator ?

When I search google images in Safari or Google Chrome,
the browsers allow me to drag images directly into AI (Adobe Illustrator) or PS. I'm unable to do this in Firefox, I have to drag images onto my desktop then into AI or PS.

Hi All,
This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

How Do You Turn On http Address in Comments of dragged image files?

Greetings:
In the "old days" when I dragged an image from Safari to the desktop, the image retained its original web address in comments. Since Panther I lost this ability, and even with 10.4.11 the comments or Spotlight box is blank regarding dragged image files. If the feature's there how do i turn it on??
Thanks,
James Greenidge

The icon you see is telling your to connect the iPad to iTunes on the computer. You have to activate it via the computer before you can use it.
Depending up on the setting, if iTunes is installed on the computer, iTunes may automatically open when the iPad is connected. If iTunes doe not automatically open, then open it. The iPad should be displaying the icon when you connect it to your computer.

I gave you a simple solution in your other posting. You never responded to the suggestion stating why the given solution wouldn't work, so it can't be that urgent.

Drag and Drop - Drag Image

I'm using the Flex DragManager in an AdvancedDataGrid with
HierarchicalData to allow the user to drag and drop tree nodes to
re-order them. It is working fine. The problem I am having is with
the drag image. The drag image does not always show up. It seems
like it will appear for one drag and drop. Then if I try to drag
another tree node I do not get the drag image there is just a line
to show I'm dragging something.
When I say drag image I mean the faded image of the text of
the tree node which appears as I drag the tree node.
I am using the following properties on the AdvancedDataGrid
to enable drag and drop:
dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"
Now if set dragMoveEnabled="false" then I do get a drag image
everytime. But I need move the tree nodes around not copy them so I
need dragMoveEnabled="true".
Thank you

Custom Cursor and Drag Image in 1.4 DnD

What is the proper way to provide a custom cursor and drag image in 1.4 DnD? Say we initiate the drag on a component that supports data transfer (such as a JTree).

Well, this is strange. My app was locking up (100% CPU) when using DND from windows Explorer.
I noticed that another part of the same appliction was working perfictly. The difference: JFrame .vs. JDialog. I switched the offending JDialog to a JFrame and all works perfictly now!
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)
I would like to switch back at some point, but my g.setXORMode() problem is a much bigger issue for us. (That is, once you enter the XOR mode, you can not go back!)

Dragging images to desktop unpredictable.
