4.0 Bug - Drag and Drop File to Editor

Another one:
Unable to Drag/Drop File
In 3.2.2, I could drag a file from the explorer window into SQL Developer to have SQL Developer open it in a new tab.  I have been unable to get this work in 4.0 Beta.

  • SD4.0 ea3  Drag and Drop files into editor

    I'm on Win7 using SQL Dev 4 - EA3.
    In previous versions, I was able to drag files from windows explorer or the desktop into the SQL Dev edit window. This seems to be disabled now.
    I noticed a previous thread that mentioned this was fixed in EA2. I'm on EA3 and still can't get it to work.

    Mr Smith,
    I've tried dragging it to the application, to another open worksheet, etc... "anywhere".  It still doesn't work.
    I'm not a complete moron, even though I had that typo in my 1st post.
    To double check, one of my co-workers even downloaded the EA3 (same configuration as mine) -- he can't get it to work either.
    There's got to be a bug somewhere or some setting/configuration that this depends on.
    I've used your SQL-Dev product for quite some time & have never had this issue before. Some change in the product is now conflicting with our environment somehow.

  • Can't drag and drop files into Attachments while in Administrator mode

    I can drag and drop files into attachment easily when I'm not in Administrator mode. But I need to be in Administrator mode at work and therefore for some reason I cannot drag and drop files into attachments; I'm forced to manually search and select particular files for attaching, which significantly slows my day-to-day work.
    Is it a bug?
    I have the up-to-date version of Thunderbird and I use MS Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thx

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • Cannot drag and drop files in Finder on Yosemite 10.10

    This is basically exactly as it sounds. I just discovered that I can't drag and drop files in the Finder anymore for some reason. I've restarted 3 or 4 times since upgrading, and I've reset the SMC and PRAM already. Because of this, I can't update an application I'd like to. Copying the application does not work either; the paste option is greyed out  It's not just applications; click-and-drag and three-finger drag simply don't drag the file. It is not happening invisibly either; going through the motions and dropping the file on Applications yields no result.
    I searched the Web for this but didn't find anything similar for Yosemite. If anyone has a suggestion or the same problem, I would love to hear it.

    For two days I tried everything I could to get the drag and drop to start working again in Yosemite on my MacBook Pro Retina. I even re-installed the OS via Disk Recovery. I wound up at the Apple Store where they couldn’t find the bug either, but we did the following and I am back up and running. There is a bit of a downside, so please read all the way through.
    I have no idea if this will help you, but if you log in under a GUEST account and this drag and drop issue is NOT there - then try this. For whatever reason this bug was localized to just my single user settings Library. The GUEST account could drag and drop fine. Weird. Anyway, here’s what we did at the Apple Store that has kept me up and running….
    Create a new user
    Logout (deactivates the busted user library) and then login as that new user.
    Enable Root User (superuser) while logged in under this new user. YouTube has some 1min. videos on how to do this.
    Navigate to the Library (which is usually invisible) listed under your original admin user account.
    Rename this folder. I just added ORIGINAL to it.
    Also, create an alias for this folder and leave it there.
    Go turn off Root User and log out.
    Now, when you log back in under your usual User Acct. the system can’t find the Library system folder (because you renamed it) so it creates a fresh one. This new Library folder will still be invisible to you, but should work.
    This fixed my drag and drop problem.
    What this does though is kill all of your plists, saved website passwords, bookmarks, application settings, etc. for everything. I mean everything. Which kind of stinks.
    This is why we created the alias in Step 05, click on it and you can open your ORIGINAL Library folder and drag out the files as you need them. I guess one day I'll drag over the one setting that borked my machine, but I haven't found it yet.
    This is certainly not ideal and may not even be the best solution. But it got me up and running with no loss of files, just slows me down as I have to re-populate all my log-ins, etc.
    Hopefully someone will come up with a better fix or patch.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

    I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives.  I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC.  Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files.  An help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.  If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC.  I do not share the drive with a PC.  The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use.  I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC.  I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them.  The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC.  I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

  • HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

    how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

    You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
    Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
    Are they Mac HFS formatted?
    You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
    MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • I can't drag and drop files...

    Hello!
         Out of nowhere, I can no longer drag and drop files on my desktop or within my Finder windows.  I also cannot drag pictures from Safari onto my Desktop.  I do not think there is a problem with my Trackpad as I can still move Safari windows and the like around the screen.  I am using an Intel-based Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.5.8  Any help would be amazing and much appreciated.  Thank you!

    I'm having the same issue.  I can no longer drag images from Safari (5.1.2) to Finder.  I am on Lion (10.7.2).  Has anybody found a fix for this?  Having to right-click and "Save As..." makes me feel like I'm working in Windows XP, which is, needless to say, he11 of an unbearable kind.

  • Drag and dropping files into widgets

    I just installed two widgets that are supposed to function by dragging and dropping files into them. How do I get access to files? How do you get files from the Finder into the dashboard?

    You need to activate Dashboard's "Developer Mode" in order to keep widgets active on the desktop.
    Open Terminal and enter the following command:
    <PRE>
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
    </PRE>
    Close Terminal, log out of your user account, and log back in again. To move a widget onto your desktop, activate Dashboard and start dragging the widget to the desktop. Press F12 before letting up on the mouse button to close Dashboard, and the widget should now be permanently affixed to the desktop. Drag to your desired location.

  • Unable to drag and drop files or folders

    Hi
    I'm unable to drag and drop files or folders. I can't drag from a folder to desktop, I can't drag from finder. I can't move files around. I can't drag from itunes into ipod.
    I've run Onyx and disk permission repair, cleaned all caches etc, all to no avail.
    Get info tells me I have read and write permissions.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, the terminal command to make that testfile worked, guess its a good sign but i wouldn't know, I also have a couple of extra problems:
    It started with VisualHub saying "Critical componats of Mac OS X are missing or damaged on your system, Without them, VisualHub is unable to continue. The affected componats is/are: - /tmp Temporary Directory. Try Repairing Permissions using Disk Utility"
    So i did that using OnyX, rebooted, still didn't work, so i remember hearing about how reinstalling .3 of 10.5.3 can help replace files that are lost, so i did that and thats where it went wrong, it rebooted and it seemed to go good, but then i noticed a big ? where Camino is meant to be on my Dock and i looked in my stack and it was gone, Safari would crash on the 5th letter i typed anywhere on the browser, (Safari and Webkit Nightly) At least Firefox works so i can post this, Spotlight is gone from the menu bar, i can't drag anything from the dock and i can't drag safari from the App stack or the dock crashes.
    The thing that worries me is why was Camino deleted? and Safari crashing?
    If anyone has a solution to this you would be a HUGE help, i really don't want to reformat my mac because i don't have anywhere to backup my files, i don't have the money for a decent sized HDD to backup into.
    Thanks all who help!!!

  • Can't drag and drop files onto Applications in Dock since upgrading to 10.6

    Ever since my wife upgraded her iMac (2 GHz, 2 gigs) to 10.6, she can no longer drag and drop files onto certain applications in her dock to open the file. She has to go into the application and go to "open file" or whatever.
    For example, if she has a Word doc on her desktop, she cannot drag it onto the Word icon in her dock.
    Any advice?

    You have many issues with your and your wife's machine(s). Everything you've posted works here. Reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and see if that fixes things.

  • Can't drag and drop files in iTunes 7.6

    I've suddenly lost the ability to drag and drop files in iTunes, so I can't change the order of items within a playlist, move tracks from one playlist to another, or move a selection of tracks to an external drive. When I click & hold on a track, nothing happens at all; if you try to drag the file it doesn't move then bounce back - just no reaction at all. One day it worked fine, next time I launched iTunes the problem appeared. I'd had 7.6 up and running for about a month without this problem, and had no other software downloads or updates immediately before the problem appeared. I'd not changed any iTunes preferences either.
    I've checked that lefthand column in the playlist is selected, & that shuffle is turned off, & I'm not trying to move things into a smart list. I've tried trashing the com.apple plist, and repairing disk permissions. My iTunes library lives on an external hard drive, but this hasn't been an issue before. Drag and drop still works fine in other apps, so I don't suppose it's a mouse or Finder issue.
    I see a few other people have posted about this, but I haven't seen any solutions yet that worked for me. Am I missing something blindingly obvious? If anyone's got any ideas on this one I'd be eternally grateful - the ability to move things around easily was one of the main attractions of iTunes for me.

    Thanks David - that wasn't it, but I have managed to find a fix after trawling through various forums - I logged out then logged back in. Simple as that! Sadly I'm still none the wiser as to what caused the problem in the first place, so don't know if or when it'll reoccur. I also found it was affecting iPhoto after I first posted, so not an iTunes specific problem obviously. Thanks to all those who posted fixes in various forums, though some looked a little too scary for me to try out...

  • Can't drag and drop files into Indesign.

    My ability to dragon and drop files into InDesign has stopped. I also cannot copy and paste. I have tried dropping previously used jpg's and PDFs as well as copying text from Acrobat, Chrome and Word. I reset the prefrences with control option command shift, but still no luck - I can't drag and drop files. Also, I cannot move files with my mouse in the program.

    Nobody can help you without system information. Could be anything from graphics driver issues to a defective mouse to a busted operating system...

  • I can't drag and drop files to playlist or to Shuffle.

    I have iTunes 10.5, and I can't drag and drop files to playlists or to my shuffle.  For playlists, I have to right click and "add to playlist" and for shuffle, I have to copy song and paste it into shuffle.  Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

    A lot of people are having this problem.  Most commonly, they are using a Wacom tablet, and sometimes updating its driver helps.  I don't have a Wacom, but still have the "can't drag" problem.  Here are the workarounds I have found in the forums so far...
    1. "gusto drag" -- slide the pointer across a song and click.
    2. clicking with both left and right mouse buttons.
    3. selecting items and do a "create playlist from selected". Then select the iPod and autofill from that playlist.
