Drag and drop from Lotus Notes

Hi all,
I have a little problem with dnd from Lotus Notes. The purpose is dragging a mail from Notes and dropping it on my java application outside of notes.
When I check the incoming flavors, there are 53 of them. The most of them are meaningless or empty, but 1 has my interest. It contains an URL from notes and with this URL I should be able to identify the mail within the correct Notes DB.
Asking the transferData for this flavor gives me this tracing, the @ are replaced be some squares in the original tracing.
It's the first one I'm interested in, but I'm unable to get the URL as an URL or String object.

Widget, Drag and Drop from palette not working.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a Widget using Eclipse and SAP Widget Tool.
I was working on a simple widget creation from a custom widget template.
The drag and drop option from palette doesn't work in my eclipse even after SAP widget tool has been installed.
Please suggest.
The configurations are.
Eclipse - 3.4.2 ganymede
Yahoo Widget Engine - 4.5.2
jdk - 1.6.0_14 (latest one).
Please help.

I had to reinstall eclipse.

Drag-and-drop from bookmarklet not working in Firefox 13

Here is our bookmarklet code snippet:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>javascript:var%20r=Math.random()*100;var%20protocol='http://www.vflyer.com/main';if%20%20((location.href).indexOf('https')!=-1){protocol='https://www.vflyer.com/main'};(function(){var%20d=document;var%20s;try{s=d.standardCreateElement('script');}catch(e){}if(typeof(s)!='object')s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src=protocol+'/bookmark.jsp?r='+r;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})();</nowiki></pre>
It seems that in Firefox 13, users can no longer drag and drop content from the bookmarklet into the browser. I tried disabling all add-ons but that didn't work. I also saw a thread about the Torbutton extension inhibiting drag-and-drop, but I don't have that extension. Any ideas?

Do you mean dragging content from the pop-up iframe that the bookmarklet creates?
Does it work if you use copy and paste instead of dragging?

Drag and drop from Aperture not working?

This sounds like a pretty stupid issue but... when I attempt to drag & drop an image from Aperture (to anywhere, e.g. desktop, iweb, mail) it usually doesn't let me. Some photos will drag out but most won't (Two pictures of the identical format and size - one will let me drag&drop it and the other won't), and the export feature takes forever. I tried making sure that aperture is maintaining the previews and that the file to export is half size but still not working... any ideas?

Not stupid at all. That's a feature I use all the time and I'd be pretty PO'd if it wasn't working.
Your profile doesn't indicate whether you're running Aperture 3.x or not. Did the problem appear after an update or has it always been that way on your installation?

Drag and drop from Pallette not working

I installed studio enterprise 8.0
When I click any object from the palette to drag into my design screen, it does not drag to a specific location. I don't have the option to move it around the screen and place it where I want. Is there a setting problem or the version problem?

Could you please clarify, which palette are you referring to? If it's the swing GUI form editor palette, then probably it's better to look for advice on the [email protected] mailing list, since Java Studio Enterprise inherits the GUI editor from the NetBeans IDE.

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.

Can not drag and drop from iTunes to my iPod

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now can not can not drag and drop from a playlist to my iPod

Is the manually manage music and videos option still selected from under the iPod's Summary tab? What happens when you try to drag files over to your iPod Classic?

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.

I can't drag and drop from a data CD I recorded

I recently burned some audiobooks files (in mp3 format) as data cd's in Toast 8.0.1. When I go to reload them back onto my 20" 2 Ghz Dual Core Intel I can't drag and drop the files directly into any folder while using the columns view in a finder window. I can do it if I drag onto the music folder and let it spring open down to the level of the folder. I also can drag the mp3's into iTunes and then into the folder. This is not CD related since I used several diff brands.
I constantly update, backup, repair permissions, and do other maintenance so everything is up to date. I have noticed this behavior just since I started to use the program called Audiobook Builder. I am (and have always used) a non-admin user account. When this started a few months ago it seemed to go away with a restart, permission repair, or a logout but now it seems permanant. I checked user permissions on my home folder - I have not added any software since adding Audiobook Builder. Any idea's? I read something about trashing a com.apple pref but didn't try that.
I suspect Audiobook Builder since it changes the permissions and filetype to the iTunes Audiobook filetype but have not seen anyone reference this.

While the programming of course could be done, the idea of a function that performs on original unprocessed images seems to violate the whole idea of what Lightroom was designed to be. At least that's my opinion. Of course, the idea that Adobe should do this programming for a relatively small number of people (you're one of a very few people to ask for this, that I have read) seems to be something that isn't going to happen.
I agree, I can't see much reason for drag-and-drop to drag the unprocessed image - in other words, an image that isn't the one that you see when you drag and drop. I can see that just filling this forum with "why the heck does it do that????????" posts. I could be wrong, but I suspect that Adobe won't do that.
But if you do want to drag-and-drop the original unprocessed image, you can do it very easily now. Right click the image, choose "show in Explorer", and then drag-and-drop from Explorer.

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)
-Pete

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,

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

Issue : drag and drop from list control to tree control

Hi,
I was trying a drag and drop from list control to tree control. I have used some sample data to populate list and tree controls .
It is working fine . except one problem ..
Prob : when i drag an item to tree control .. it gets added .. now tree contains (X+1) data in list .. say X is the inital number of nodes in a tree node.
          now if i drag another item from list to last item in the tree node .. i.e at X+1 index. .. it throws null pointer exception.
I am considerably new in flex programming . looking for help from experts ..

Thanks,

Ya , i have searched and have used the same code.
But needed to customize few things like:
stop dnd in same tree
drop some item into a folder ..( onto it ) etc
have achieved the same .. but this issue ..
i think the tree dataprovider (contents internally is not being updated .. only the UI)
any suggestions ?

Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
