Drag and drop keyword - you must drag across 'side' of thumnail

Took me a while to work out what was going on here, I thought LR had developed a corruption on me.
Unusually I'd loaded only three picture and couldn't drag and drop keywords on to them. After several hours of experimenting I discovered that if the size of the thumbnails and the number of them means that there is a lot of blank space below them and when you drag a keyword over it doesn't cross the 'side' of an image you can't drop it. Unless you drag the mouse outside the main center pane again and cross into it from the side or the top.
Or to try and explain it another way, if you click and hold on a keyword and drag right, into space below the bottom of thumbnails then drag up onto an image you won't be able to drop the keyword, you only get a 'stop' sign (circle with a diagonal line across it). You have to drag onto the image from either the top or the side.
Curious. Does it on both of my LR installations. Thought posting might save someone else chasing their tail for ages.
Cheers

Ok, I reread, and realized what you meant. Dragging into the empty area where thumbnails would be (if there were more), and then dragging up to a thumbnail, does indeed cause this behaviour for me.

  • LR 1.1 - Drag and drop keywords niggle

    Upgraded yesterday. I'm generally very happy with the program, but in version 1 I used to be able to drag keywords from the keyword panel and drop them on to selected photos. This now no longer works and I have to drop the photos on to the keyword, which I find very fiddly. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?
    I'm using Windows Vista Business with 4GB RAM if it's relevant.

    Generally if images can't be dropped on a keyword it is because they already have it applied. This might be happening if one of the images in a batch has the keyword.
    Just a thought!
    If it still persists - maybe trash the prefs and see if that helps?

  • I go to print and get a You must install a printer message first.  Where do I do that?

    I go to print a picture on my Editor Screen, by clicking on File > Print, and I get a message that "Your have to install a printer first."  Where do I do that.  My printer is a wireless on my LAN.  Don22303

    Jeff,  Yes, from Elements Editor Full.  This is from Elements 10, and I rarely print from Elements so it turns out I was surprised to find the same problem happens with my Elements 8 version, which I still have up.  The version is Windows 7.  I can print fine from all other applications, e.g. Word.  Also print my email, but I had to go back to Internet Explorer 8 from Explorer 9 version because I was getting script errors, but using 8 has been fine for a good while now.  Any advice would be appreciated.   Don

  • HT203128 I can't drag and drop music from iTunes 12 to iOS 8 iPhone 5s. How do I move music now?

    I connect the iPhone to itunes. that works. Everything shows up fine, but I can't drag and drop music from the 'music' section of iTunes 12 on my new mbp or my iMac. I used to be able to. Also, when I slide to delete songs on the iPhone, they still appear as 'ghosts' in the list on iTunes when the phone is connected - if I double click them, a exclamation mark in a circle comes up on the left of the track and it doesn't play. Can anyone help? Kind of need to get this sorted - it's bloody frustrating. I've restarted iPhone, iMac, MBP, downloaded the latest versions of iOS, OS X 10.10.3.

    you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

  • Problem with Drag and drop in panel dashboard

    I will explain what i am doing.
    I am using Oracle three column template in First region i am having a table that showing all customer.
    I drag one record from my table and drop it on customer info (CIF) page on second region it is working fine.
    my CIF page has a dashboard with 6 panel box. i am showing 6 different jsff in 6 panel box.
    I put drop target in each jsff
    <af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_customerinformation.handleItemDrop}"
    actions="COPY">
    <af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
    discriminant="CustomerSearchDnD"/>
    </af:dropTarget>
    when i put drop target my panel boxes moves only when i drag it to another panel box header not entire part of panel box.
    if i remove the drop target then panel box move normally as the example given on: [http://adfui.us.oracle.com:7778/faces-trunk/faces/visualDesigns/dashboard.jspx?_afrLoop=2021391022520156&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null] but in taht case i am not able to drag and drop my data

    You must be an Oracle employee as you're referring to a component in the upcoming JDeveloper version which has yet been released to the general public. Oracle employee's are, I believe, directed to post on internal Oracle forums.

  • Drag and drop ALV to table control

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to program the drag-and-drop functionality from an ALV list to a table control? I would like to have this feature to let the user enter data on 1 screen. On the left part the user sees an ALV list and on the right the user sees the online transaction. I would like the user to enter data simply by drag and drop instead of having to enter the data.
    Does someone has a sample program for this?
    Regards,
    Kris

    Hi Kris
    I can download the programs and send them to you, but you should give me your e-mail.
    Anyway you can use Drag and Drop if you build your table control by ALV, i.e. ALV GRID.
    But I'm using 4.7 and I don't know how class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID is in your release, I believe the release 4.6B is one of first release whit this class.

  • Can't drag and drop a file into Photoshop for some reason?

    I don't know what made it stop but at this point it's beginning to bug me to no end. I can no longer simply drag a file into Photoshop. I now have to go to "file --> open" in order to get anything into. Is there anything I can do to restore the ability to drag and drop?
    Just to let you know I reset the preferences already and that did nothing. The other thing is I'm running Windows 7, however I've never had an issue with PS on it. Lastly I'm using CS4.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    You should be able to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into the work area if PS is open and maximised.
    At least it works that way with Vista  64. It won't work dragging it on to the task bar button or the PS icon.

  • Drag and drop please!

    I have seen the other posts on this topic, but drag and drop
    is a must have in an ajax toolkit. We would love for spry to be our
    only ajax library, but without drag and drop we are being forced to
    consider other vendors. Specifically we want our users to be able
    to drag items to set orders in lists and then to save and reload
    the data in that order.

    We have this feature support in our wish list because of
    previous discussions like this one:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=602&threadid=1241379&fo rumid=72
    In the Spry 1.5 we added lots of new important features that
    are used in day by day operations which forced us to postpone the
    drag and drop to a later release. I don't have yet a date where the
    new widget will be implemented but stay tuned as we hope to have it
    soon.

  • Drag and drop scoring

    Is there a way to create a variable, or is there a system variable available, that allows for points to be assigned to drag and drop items?  So, for example, each correctly dropped item is worth one point and as the learner makes the series of correct drops the score on the screen keeps increasing?

    You cannot manipulate the Captivate quizzing system variables with Advanced Actions and you cannot assign a user variable as a score.
    This type of scoring flexibility is not available with the native drag and drop functionality available in Captivate as the entire interaction is scored either correct or incorrect, not according to each separate drag item.
    However, if you have the Infosemantics Interactive Drag and Drop widget, you can have multiple widgets on the same slide, each scoring a different drag item / target item match.  In this way you can likely achieve the result you describe above because the more items the user gets matched correctly, the higher their score.
    More details here:

  • Apple mail drag and drop to folder

    Hi everyone,
    Just wondered if the functionality to be able to drag and drop email from mail to a folder on my desktop has been removed or if it's an option I need to find.
    I don't want to file>save each email every time.
    Thanks!
    Ben

    It works fine for me as-is, using OS X 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5.
    Note that the file dragged out and dropped onto the Desktop or into a folder on the Desktop will be a Mail document, not a text document.
    If I want to quick-copy/export an email, I open the message in Mail, click once in the lower pane to make it active, then press Command-A (Select All). This highlights the body text of the email, which I can then drag out onto the Desktop where it becomes a regular clipping rather than a Mail doc.
    Note re drag-and-drop -
    If you click on the name of a message in the list and quickly try to drag it out to the Desktop it doesn't seem to work. However, if you click and hold for a second or two, the message line will dim a bit; if you then drag, it will follow along and drop where you let go of it.

  • Why No Drag and Drop?

    If I select, then click to drag an Apple Discussion message to the desk top, the selected section deselects and will not allow me to drag and drop.

    If you make a selection, right on this page in this message box, and try to drag it to the desk top it does work. BUT if I start to drag at this top of the page with the words "Post Message: Reply", it will not D&D.
    This inability to D&D happens about 80% of the time on this computer. It never happened on my G4 with Tiger.
    Thanks for your input.

  • AS2 Drag and Drop interactive exercise widget - Captivate 4

    Hello,
    I need an Actionscript 2 widget to create drag and drop exercises. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good one?
    Thanks!

    Is there a specific reason why you can't output your project to AS3?
    If you can use AS3 there are two Infosemantics Drag and Drop widgets you can choose from.
    I don't know of any drag and drop widgets in AS2.

  • Are drag and drop activities 508 compliant?

    In CP8,  are drag and drop 508 compliant?  or do I need to switch it to matching?
    Thanks
    Kelly

    I would imagine they are not. I would be extremely difficult for someone the is vision impaired to accomplish a drag and drop.
    You need to put a link on the page that will redirect the user to a multiple choice or series of multiple choice questions for an equivalent experience.
