Cut and paste multiple selections to separate layers?
Say you have several items selected with a marquee.
Something like this:
Is there anyway, to have, in this example, all the icons cut and pasted to their own layer?
No, there is no way to do what you want directly. Unfortunately some kind of selection has to be made, so that each item can be lifted off the original layer individually.
You may find that a simple square marquee does the trick. This can be moved quite quickly from one object to the next. The proces of making the marquee, activating the base layer and Command J can all be automated with an Action. You caould also modify you existing selction using lets say Quick Mask in a smilar way - a series of automated steps.

How to cut and paste multiple items
How can you cut and paste multiple items on the clipboard?
Just go to Security & Privacy, unlock it with your admin password...
...and under the "General" tab allow applications... tick "Anywhere". After the install, I'd change it back. You can also just control-click the app/installer and select "Open" - you'll get a warning that the app is from an unidentified developer, but it will open.
Good luck,

Can you cut and paste multiple lines of text in adobe forms?
Hi -
I am working on cutting and pasting large amounts of information into adobe forms. When I presently cut and paste from Excel, it puts all of the data in one line rather than in separate choices in a multiple choice selection.
Is there a way to separate out this data so that from the excel sheet, each piece of data is separated into a different possible selection?
Thanks,
Laura MThat's not the way of transferring data from Excel to a PDF form. You should format the data in two rows, the first being the field names and the second being their values, and then import it via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...

JTree cut and paste multiple child and ancestor nodes not function correct
Hello i'm creating a filebrowser for multimedia files (SDK 1.22) such as .jpg .gif .au .wav. (using Swing, JTree, DefaultMutableTreeNode)
The problem is I want to cut and paste single and multiple nodes (from current node til the last child "top-down") which partly functions:
single nodes and multiple nodes with only one folder per hierarchy level;
Not function:
- multiple folders in the same level -> the former order gets lost
- if there is a file (MMed. document) between folders (or after them) in the same level this file is put inside one of those
I tried much easier functions to cope with this problem but every time I solve one the "steps" the next problem appears...
The thing I don't want to do, is something like a LinkedList, Hashtable (to store the nodes)... because the MMed. filebrowser would need to much resources while browsing through a media library with (e.g.) thousands of files!
If someone has any idea to solve this problem I would be very pleased!
Thank you anyway by reading this ;)

}You need to use a recursive copy method to do this. Here's a simple example of the copy. To do a cut you need to do a copy and then delete the source.

Before Mac OS Lion I could select text and pictures from a Firefox webpage, and paste into Textedit, with no problem. Since Lion the text selected pastes fine , but for an image there pastes only anicon which does not, and will not open.
I checked with the same procedure in Safari, and everything is fine.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Cut and paste bitmap, this is killing me
Okay so here's the deal, i'm just trying to figure out how to
cut and paste bitmap selections. I realize that in the fireworks
help it just tells you to make a marquee selection, cut, and paste.
this works sometimes, most of the time it doesn't though. A lot of
the time it cuts and pasts a marquee selection that's free
floating, so when i move it it just moves on top of the bitmap, and
doesn't move the pixels within the selection. Also, sometime when
i'm doing this multiple times, i'll cut and paste sucessfully, and
then try it again, cut, and when i paste it pastes the previous
selection even though i just supposedly cut a new one, AHHH. Then
also someitmes when i paste, i just get the marquee line pasted,
and i can't do anything with other tools until i hit escape, though
i don't know why.
Also when i try to reshape it with the distort or skew tool,
there's no telling what will happen. Sometimes the selection
reshapes, sometimes just the marquee line, who knows. there is no
help in the fireworks help i've read the whole thing. Someone who
knows please give me a rundown on how to do this sucessfully
.It might be helpful for you too look at the Layers Panel
while doing all
this.

Cut and Paste text on a Flex App
Is there any way to cut and paste multiple value at a time
from a Flex App? we have a summary screen which has various text
elements together to give a label/status value. The user can cut
and paste one text at a time, but they can't select all text on
that screen and cut/paste everything. Any ideas?Perhaps you could build a copy to clipboard link that strings
together all of the pieces and pastes the text to the clipboard?
There is an example on the Flex Style Explorer
Export All CSS (lower left of the screen)

RAR5.3 not able to cut and paste list of users to Multiple Selection screen
CC V4.0 on ABAP system has a feature where you can cut and paste a list of many users from the clipboard to Single Values column in the Multiple Selection screen, so you can run SOD Analysis Report for all those users. The Multiply Selection screen is a standard SAP supplied pop up screen.
With RAR 5.3 the Multiply Selection screen design is different. There is no longer feature to cut and paste from clipboard. We have to input each user one at a time. So if you have many users (20, 30, etc.) it is a time consuming task. It is not acceptable to our business power users.
We can import the list of users to a Custom User Group (in the Configuration Tab). First of all, there is no mass delete on Custom User Group. You have to delete each user one at a time which is time consuming. The alternative is to create a new Custom User Group each time, then it becomes a maintenance nightmare. Secondly, it is in the Configuration Tab which is only available to Administrators (fear of users changing configuation data), so the Administrator (or whomever has access to the Configuration Tab) has to maintain the Custom User Groups which is a lot of work for him or her or them.
We talk to SAP every week. But they are looking at this as a long time project. Does any one of you (or your company) has the same requirements? How do you get around it? Did you setup some other procedures so users can cut and paste the users list and run the Risk Analysis report themselves?
Thanks,
John.This is probably a JVM issue. Are you using JInitiator or the IE native JVM?
I suggest you turn on the JVM console, set the trace level to maximum, and then watch what happens when you attempt the copy.
Also, check the key mapping (usually ctrl-k) that the forms applet is implementing. Perhaps ctrl-c means something else... -
Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a different background.
Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a new background? I am trying to take a photo of someone and place it on a different background. The Quick Selected image is too big when I paste it on the background. You can only see a small portion of the persons head.
Open the photo, then go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in.
Get out of this screen. Then use one of the selection tools to select the person, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
Now, go to File>new>blank file. Enter width & height, and the same resolution value.
Go to Edit>paste. The person will be on a separate layer. Use the move tool to position, and, to resize with the corner handles, if necessary
Note: For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range. For web work, 72 px/in is ok -
Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.
Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Copy and paste multiple text layers DW CC
I searched around and couldn't find a good solution to an issue I am having. I am solid with DW but by no means brilliant, so hopefully this doesn't come across as completely ignorant. Basically, I have a 400 plus page website that I have to do updates on often.. the way the client wanted it designed makes it problematic for updates regardless of my informing him that doing it differently could save us both a lot of problems, but at the same time, the site is actually perfect for what it is due to how it was done and no templating based site out there can do what it does so I am stuck with it for now. Each of the 400 plus pages has 6 individual text layers that had to be laid out according to the individual photo on each page, very specialized. My question is, is there a way to copy and paste multiple layers in DW. Small updates are fine, but larger updates are a nightmare due to the text issue and page numbers, and believe me, I have been up and down and around about how to make it easier.. but, that said, if I could copy all six layers at once and paste all six in the new document, life would be a lot easier on this project. I also tried linking the layers and sending them, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks much for your time.Thanks Jon, I will give that a try at some point, I am more on the designer end of things but I could manage to find the layers and give that a shot. I would love to show you the site, but the owner is very security conscious and only allows certain parties to see the site. I don't have any knowledge of background driven sites as web design is more of an extra thing when a client just really wants me involved. I am fine with the repetitive work.. if what you suggest works, it breaks my job down by 6 times and that would actually be a huge relief. Though I am over paid and hourly and the client has plenty of money, I just stop enjoying what I am doing with it after a bit to the point that I don't want to do it anymore regardless of the money. I have thought of subcontracting someone with more experience in the arena that could make it database driven like you are saying, but, it is just such a monster that getting someone else involved (especially with a client that keeps it so close) will be more work than it is worth. Fortunately, I think there will only be another update or two and then it will be finished as a collection. The site houses a world renowned textile collection half photo half info about the pieces.. my method thus far has been to keep the photos laid out in Lightroom, where I output the monster site in one of the simple flash sites and then add the text in DW.. I take the new photos and html and connect them to the new site and front thumbnail pages with my original which I have kept adding to over the years. To a degree it is decently quick and efficient, but when he drops or buys more than 10 pieces, and then needs to change photos, thumbs, and add text to anywhere but the last few pages, it can get into headacheland. With a major change, it would be faster for me to just reoutput the whole photo based flash site from LR and then copy and paste all six layers on each photo.. but as you know, that has been my issue thus far and what I get for only having my toes into a program.
Thanks for your reply.. -
If SUM( ) refers to multiple ranges, and one of those ranges is Cut and then Pasted to another location, the SUM( ) function is not changed to reflect the new location of those Cut and Pasted cells. Instead, SUM( ) continues to refer to the original locations.
I tried this in Excel and it works well.
I am using
iPad Numbers Version: 1.5 (423)
iOS Version: 5.0.1Followed your steps exactly and it's exactly like I said in my previous post. Cut and paste works for effects. Here's exactly what I did except for the part where I created the worst illustrator art that I've ever seen. Just two layers, lovely colors. The .ai file is imported as a comp with retain layer sizes selected. A black brush is chosen set to write on and silhouette luma. The size is adjusted to cover the line easily, I paint on the line, press the e key to reveal the effect in the timeline. It's there, it's also in the ECW so I select the effect, cut it, go to the composition, use Cmnd+Y to create a new layer and paste Cmnd + V and the paint effect is applied to the solid.
There's something going on with your machine, some third party plug-in, some other app, some other issue that's preventing this from working.
Here's my little movie of the whole experiment.
I'd make sure that your AE version is the latest, that you have your memory and processing set to the defaults, and that you're not running any other apps while testing AE. If there's still a problem, file a bug. Your machine is not behaving as my machine and every other Mac I routinely work on is behaving.
