Can't drag objects out of Spotlight?

I thought it would Just Work if I had a file chooser dialog open, say if I were uploading a file from Safari, and I looked up the file I wanted in Spotlight and dragged it into the file chooser. No go. I'm surprised; isn't this something it obviously should do? Are there any plans to make it happen?

This is a user to user forum. What may happen in the future is not something to which someone here would have an answer.
If you want to have Mac OS X engineers know about you idea, send them some feedback.

  • Can't drag icons out of my dock

    I can't drag files out of stacks (Downloads or Application folders) or app icons off my dock. I reset my SMC when I rebooted and it worked but then I reboot the next day (today) and it won't work anymore. Do I really have to reset SMC every time I boot up? I recently downgraded from Yosemite because it is incomplete and full of bugs and now I have this issue.
    OS X: 10.9.5

    For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
    If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.
    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Can't drag files out of the dock folders/stacks

    On Mavericks I'm able to drag files out of the folders/stacks I have on the Dock (Downloads, Documents, etc.) just as you would anywhere on OSX. But, for some reason my mom (Mavericks) and my fiancee (Mountain Lion) can't. I've tried checkin the permissions for those folders (in Get Info) and they have read/write permissions. This only happens in list view, not in fan, grid or automatic. Is there some hidden setting or something else that would allow them to be able to drag files?

  • Can't drag objects/text in InDesign CS5

    I'm running Indesign CS5 on a Mac, 10.6.8 operating system. InDesign was working great, and then I stopped being able to drag items. I can select items (both with the regular selection tool and the direct selection toll), but I can't move them.  I can move them with the arrow buttons on my keyboard. I tried switching out my mouse, no luck. I tried a new document, same problem.  I restarted, same problem. I read in forums to erase InDesign's preferences, I did that, but the problem remains. None of the items are locked, etc. I have no idea what to do. Is there some keyboard shortcut I might have hit that preventing my from dragging items? Is this just an InDesign bug?  I recently installed the new updates for the entire creative suite, could that have done something? I'm not sure what else to do. Any help would be great!

  • CS6 - Can't drag object to new layer via dot

    I can't seem to drag a selected object to a different layer via the colored dot in the Layers palette in CS6.
    I've been doing that since I can remember. Is there some new CS6 default setting I'm missing?

    It is everything to do with compound paths - all other objects, as long as they do not contain a "partial compound path" will copy or move between layers, just fine, using the click and dragging of the small square icon in the layers palette.
    I have this issue - and it looks like no resolution is forthcoming from Adobe (the issue is over a year old on this forum). I called their tech support but am told that because we use 3rd party fonts and 3rd party plugins (Esko prepress system) they will not offer support for the product (call me crazy - but every printer on the planet is using 3rd party fonts - crazy as that may sound!!! - Wacky printers).
    This is not a 3rd party issue however - it is a change from CS5 to CS6 in how the software handles copying between layers in the layers palette or how compound paths in general are now addressed in CS6. They cannot tell me if a change exists. I sort of just would like to know...
    For now, I will need to select the partial compound path - copy the object - deselect the object  - move to my target layer - paste in place, to accomplish the same end result.
    NEXT VERSION WISH: make it selectable how this behaves - lock partially selected compound paths - or allow partial compound paths to be moved/copied between layers. aarrgghhh.

  • Can't drag songs out of iTunes

    So I'm trying to copy all the songs from a playlist to a flash drive. I select all the tracks in iTunes 11 (Windows), then drag them to my flash drive. Nothing happens. I try the same thing using a desktop folder as the destination. Nothing.
    If I drag *one* track, it copies just fine. But if I try to do more than one, it flat-out doesn't work.
    Help!!!

  • Can't move objects or text boxes in indesign CS6

    I'm using a Mac (10.8.5), CS6 InDesign, and today my move tool stopped working. Any object or text box I create I can't move with the selection tool/dragging it -- they'll move with the arrows on my keyboard. I tried resetting the preferences (cmd + opt + control + shift). Any other fixes?

  • Dragging Files Out Of iTunes

    Hey guys
    I want to drag files out of my iTunes library, onto a flash drive so i can put it onto my PS3. Anyway, some of the albums i have drag like normal, and i can put them on, but some albums dont. When i drag the files, nothing happens. Even when i try and drag them to the desktop, still nothing. So i go right click, and show in windows explorer, but i get the error "c:/documents and settings.... etc." "Access Id Denied"
    But i can access the file that is in my My Music folder, if you get me, but just can't drag it out of iTunes. Anyway know of a solution? I don't want to drag it out of my My Music folder, because the album artwork doesn't follow it, but if i drag it out of the iTunes library, album art follows it.
    Cheers.

    What kind are the files you are trying to copy from itunes?

  • Can't drag and move objects

    Using the Selection tool, i can select any object, but i can't click hold and drag it to a different position, like i usually can. I can click on one sides, or corners, and scale it just fine. I can also select it, right click, transform, move, enter a value and move it, i just can't click and drag it.
    All layers are unlocked, all objects are unlocked. This must be some hidden lock feature that somehow got enabled.
    Any idea how to fix it lol?

    Nope, I did not.
    However, i just rebooted my computer, reopened the document, and the problem went away. So i guess it was just some sort of a glitch at the time, I had actually fully closed Illustrator prior to this post, then reopened, and it didn't fix it.
    I think there is some random stability issue with my machine, it has reared its ugly head before in other areas. I can't even print from adobe reader because the graphics come all garbled out :-/. I've yet to reinstall it.
    Thanks for the help though.

  • I can't drag data objects to human task

    Hi,
    I am newbie using SOA, BPM and Jdeveloper.
    I am following a tutorial to learn how to create and implement a process, but I get stuck when I need to create the human tasks.
    When I create the human task, I can't drag data objects to the parameter table.
    I delete and begin the tutorial a several times. And the issue persist.
    I don't know if I miss a step, but I read and implement the tutorial carefully.
    Any advice or someone have a good tutorial for begginers in that Platform.
    Systems Specs:
    Oracle Databse 11g R2
    SOA 11.1.1.6.0
    Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.6.0
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jose,
    If you're doing this using the Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g tutorial, I'd need more information.
    I doubt that this is the case, but just on the outside chance that it was the result of some procedural mistake you made, I created a short video that steps you through this.
    If you'll export your project and store it on some file sharing site that I can get to, I'll be glad to take a look at it for you.
    You haven't gotten to these steps in the tutorial, yet but after just looking at it I noticed a couple issues you I believe that you'll run into: 
    The way it has you changing the role name from "Role" to "Requestor" will not work.  If you follow the instructions, you will not be able to create new instances (nothing will appear in the Applications link).  The reason is that there is a bug so that when you deploy the project after changing the name in Organization to another role, the deployed project keeps the original name (Role in this case) but your role assignment can only be set to the new name (Requestor).  Before you get to that step, make sure that you have added a new Requestor role in the process.
    The tutorial was written for 11.1.1.3 and if you're on a release after the 11.1.1.5 feature pack you will see that the data mapping is done completely differently.  Look at the video I have in the link above before doing this step.  While this step in the tutorial will be confusing, you can figure it out if you note the "Input" and "Output" tabs at the top of the Data Associations dialog.  You just need to drag the object on the left (e.g., "hello") over to the object on the right (e.g., "helloObject").
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

  • InDesign CC 2014 can no longer drag objects with mouse

    I have been using InDesign for months with no problems but suddenly I am having mouse issues. I can use my mouse to resize objects and make selections but dragging objects in the document or in panels (for example, reordering spreads) no longer works. I am using a mac on the latest 2014 CC release of InDesign, and have tried all the usual tricks (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Cmd on startup to remove preferences, manually deleting preferences (both files), reloading software, rebooting machine, reinstalling InDesign) but the only thing that works is rebooting the machine.
    However, within 20-30 minutes after a reboot, the problem returns out of nowhere. I don't use plugins with InDesign and haven't changed hardware or software recently so I have no idea what's causing this.
    Does anyone have any info that might help me out? From googling around, it seems most people have solved their problems after a preferences dump, but mine keeps on coming back!

    I've actually been discussing this problem in another thread but this one is dedicated to it.
    This cropped up for me prior to the New Year and I've found no solution. I actually did what Steve Werner suggested this week and created a new OS X account. But the problem cropped up in the new account today.
    I don't know if this is a common or not. I'm part of a large creative team and as far as I know, I'm the only user experiencing this. I've trashed preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, restarted the computer, etc. Nothing works.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • Can you determine a dragged objects Class Name when it is dropped?

    Is there a way to determine the class name for a dragged object.
    I have set up two objects. One is a JList that acts as a data source for the second object which is a JTable. Both objects serve as both drag source and drop targets. I need to be able to react to the following events:
    1. Drag value from JList to JTable.
    2. Drag value from JTable to JTable (itself) to reposition order.
    3. Drag value from JTable to JList (deletes item from JTable).
    So far, I have had no problem in getting #1 to work.
    The problem is determining how to consistently interpret which event is happening for 2 and 3. Both the drop (DropTargetDropEvent event) and the dragDropEnd (DragSourceDropEvent event) are fired for either 2 or 3 above. If I could identify the source class for the dragsource and the target class for the droptarget, the coding would be easy. I haven't been able to find anything on this while reviewing the API documentation.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    No, there are not multiple policies - the host names for all aliases on that single webserver are together in a single host identifier. And I realize I can only have a single challenge redirect, I just want to use a variable to redirect to the host name that was accessed as opposed to a static name.
