Drag and Drop to Change Order of a Collection

I have created a collection and now want to change the order of the photos in the collection. I try to select a photo to drag and drop it to the correct position.
Sometimes I can do this, other times I can't.
If I exit and reenter Lightroom, the problem of not being able to drag and drop is corrected.
Any ideas about a workaround for this bug without exiting and restarting Lightroom?
Thanks,
Harry

Harry,
You have to be at the lowest level of a folder/collection to get drag and drop to work.
If you have 'Include Photos from Subitems' unticked then you can sort in higher up folders/collections, but this only shows items in the actual collection/folder.
If you have images in multiple collections that you want to sort in order, select them and then Ctrl N (Cmd N on Mac ) to create a new collection. Tick the use selected photos box and name the new collection. Make sure it's at the bottom of a collection tree (or on it's own) and then sort inside the new collection.
When dragging, drag from the image itself, not from the border around it.

Drag and Drop to Change Order in a List

Does anyone know of an example where there is the ability to drag and drop elements in a list and thus change their order? (I.E. drag item one below item two and then item one and two change locations)
Thanks!

Check out http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html
There's an example towards the end of the page for drag-and-drop between 2 JLists. Might be a good starting point.

Drag and drop songs in order?

I want to organise the order of songs in a playlist but can't seem to drag and drop anymore since updating?

I can still drag and drop - from within the playlist.

Drag and Drop Cursor changes - not working

I have fully implemented a working drag and drop Swing application, but I am running into problems with the cursor.
My application has some drop targets that set the cursor to DragSource.DefaultCopyNoDrop, and some that set it to DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop. The problem is once I change the cursor DefaultCopyDrop, I can never change it to NoDrop. I can however change it from NoDrop to Drop. I have tried it with jdk1.4 beta3 and rc.
An example of this cursor behavior can be found at:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-1999/jw-03-dragndrop.html
I found some information related to this at:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4407521.html
I have tried using a null cursor in the startDrag method.
Does anyone have a DND example where the cursor consistantly changes to give drop feedback that works with the DND in JDK1.4?
Dave

Hi, I also want to implement DND. I am using JRE1.3.1
I am also facing the cursor change problem. i have passed null in the startDrag method. This problem get solved to some extent, but still many times cursor is not changing. I have created my dragSource and drag Target
in the Constructor of my tree in a separate thread like
// IN CONSTRUCTO OF TREE
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Tree_DropTarget(this) );
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new TreeDragSource(this,
DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE) );
Than in the target and source class
publi clas Tree_DropTarget implements DropTargetListener,Runnable
public Tree_DropTarget(JTree tree)
m_dropTarget = tree;
public void run ()
try
Thread.sleep(2000);
catch (InterruptedException e)
m_dropTarget = new DropTarget (m_targetTree, this);
Same Way I have done for DragSource.
Is anything wrong there???
I am also facing 1 more proble, sometiems DND events are getting fired on navigating through the nodes, even though i am not dragging the node. And getting the Below exception some times
java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat sun.awt.dnd.SunDropTargetContextPeer.handleMotionMessage(Unknown Source)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.eventLoop(Native Method)
     at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
This exception I am not able to get who is throwing as all exceptions i am catching.
Please help me, if u had any idea about these problems.

ICal alarm won't "drag and drop" with changed dates?

I frequently change appointments on my calendar from one date to the next, but the alarm time stays with the original date and time (so it never alarms or chimes on the new appointment date).
Any ideas on how to get it to change along with my drag and drop. In other calendar systems, if you have an appointment on the 14th with a 15 minute warning alarm, and then change the date to the 17th, the alarm would then chime 15 minutes ahead of your appointment on the 17th. I know I can manually change it, but this should be automatic.
Help?

I just set an event for the 24th with a "2 minute before" alarm. I then dragged it to today 11/19 and the alarm went off 2 minutes before the new event time. I.e., the alarm time was automatically updated. Now if the alarm were set with the "on date" option, I wouldn't expect that to be updated. I'm using iCal Version 4.0.3 (1388).

Drag and drop functionality in CM25

Hello Experts,
I am trying to configure CM25 so that when you drag and drop to change the start and end times on an operation within a process order, but to block the work centre being changed. Ideally I like the user to be prompted to ensure they intended to change the work centre, but could live with a hard stop. I have drag drop function set to AV09 (Function "Operation at time&work centre") at the moment. I see there is a user exit defined on AV10 but haven't been able to establish what code this exit triggers and would like to get to the AV09 code as it pretty much does what I want. I don't want to limit the screen to a single work centre as I want to see all related operations as need to see the work centre utilization for whole order across multiple processes, to ensure end times of one operation corresponds to start of the next.
I am also looking to prevent capacities being moved at all once the process order has been started as effectively this process is locked in at this point and you cannot physically reschedule the remaining time. (I know I am only supposed to pose one question at a time, but I believe this will be controlled within same configuration)
Any suggestions / advice welcome,
Regards,
Jez

Hello Jez,
AV10 calls, from what I have been able to find out, the same exit that menu option Functions -> User (so enhancement CY190001). However, I could not as yet find a way to know where the user has dropped the object (to do the check, and to be able to continue with AV09 afterwards). The enhancement documentation only mentions how to get more information about the object, but not about where it was dropped.
I am trying to use this to solve http://scn.sap.com/thread/3534956.
Have you managed to find anything else on your side?
Regards,
Rui

Resetting a drag and drop interaction

Hi
How do I reset a successfully completed drag and drop
interaction, so I can redo the drag and drop interaction?
If I try and move the objects back to their original location
it just snaps back to the completed location
Currently I have to move to a different page, then go back to
the page containing the drag and drop interaction in order to reset
the interaction
Thanks in advance
Jon

Try this:
Put all the daggable objects in one map. I'll call it
"Container."
Now, in your "Reset" button, put this code:
repeat with x := 1 to IconNumChildren(@"Container")
EraseIcon(ChildNumToID(@"Container", x)
DisplayIcon(ChildNumToID(@"Container", x)
end repeat

Drag And Drop Element Of Array Of Clusters

I have a project that includes an array of "tests", each of which is a cluster containing an array of "part numbers", a regular expression matching string and an array of "test tasks" (each of which, is in turn, a cluster of elements).
That is:
Tests (array of):
Cluster:
Part Numbers (array of strings)
Regex (string)
Tasks (array of):
Cluster:
Task type
Base Channel,
Measurement Channel
Other Channels
I'd like to be able to drag and drop to re-order the task array within an individual test. (It's a nice-to-have rather than an urgent request - more for my own learning than anything). For now, I've implemented "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons.
The examples are fine for a single cluster that includes an array, or for an array of objects. As soon as we have an array of clusters, it's hard to access the individual elements within a specific cluster.
Has anybody successfully implemented drag and drop within such a setup?
Curiously,

Hello GeoffF,
This is definitely doable, and you can even use the standard start drag and drop methods/events, the tricky part is determining the array elements that are being selected on mouse up/mouse down and handling the swap manually. Luckily, there are a couple decent examples of how to do this out there already, I'd suggest you take a look at this one:
Community Example: Determine Clicked Array Element Index in LabVIEW
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22434
That should give you the selected array indices, and then all you have to do is switch the elements around around in the drop event. I've attached a very basic demonstrative example that uses that code I just linked (you'll need to download that as well) and the events mentioned to swap two array elements. The attached code is just thrown together, you'll want to design something more robust and scalable for any sort of real use.

Tom L.

Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
Thank you,
Jamie

>Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

Cannot drag and drop in my playlist to rearrange the song order???

I have created a playlist in my iTunes 10 and all I want to do is change the order up a bit, so that all the same artists are not lumped together. Help says I should be able to just drag and drop to reorder my songs in the play list. However, it won't let me do it. What am I missing?

By re-arranging the windows, this appears to work.
i.e. left window to right window.

Why cant I drag and drop my pictures into an order I want to display them

Why can't I drag and drop my pictures into an order that I want to display them ? The 'manual sort' option does not seem to be 'lit' nor does the 'reset manual sort' what am I doing wrong please.

Beginning to wish I had stuck with a PC !

If you prefer a PC use it. No one here cares one bit
As to iPhoto, unless you take a few minutes to actually learn how to use it then you will never be happy. Same with any new PC program that you do not understand. Or a new car for that matter
A great place to start your education is here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
As to your specific issue, trivial. Make an album of the photos and manually drag them to the order you want. Events simply do not work that way
Try to drive your car in Park and you get nowhere because that is not how it works. Any time you use a product incorrectly you will have poor results

JQuery drag and drop image order with save to database?

We have a property image gallery on our website and a CMS that allows us to add/edit images in the gallery.
Image file names are stored in a database table:
imgID (int)
propertyID (int)
imgfilename (nvarchar)
displayorder (int)
Images are displayed in order of "displayorder" but we'd like to be able to drag and drop the order in our CMS and have this update the database table with the correct display order.
We found this jQuery solution but it doesn't appear to work, although descriptively it's exactly what we're trying to acheive:
http://halnesbitt.com/blog/2010/08/05/save-order-with-jquery-ui-sortable-and-aspaccess
Can anyone advise a similar script or solution? We're using Classic ASP and MSSQL.
Thank you.

Hi,
Not looking at any code you have an upload button for the video and an insert for the form. So both forms are independent of each other it looks like, thats why when you do one you only get that info and when you do the other you only get the other info. You should just make one form with the uploader included. Make one form with all the fields included (movie name, movie page, movie description, movie file) after the form is completed then select the file field and go to...

Where exactly do i have to add the MouseMotionListener , i guess that i should add it to the canvas , and the inherited metod shoul be modified in order to use canvas.repaint() at the location where the draggin effect has ended, or if there is some other way when i press the mouse on the figure and start moving around to getX() and getY() and use the repaint method at those coordinates , wich is a drag and drop effect , i think that it would be MouseMoved , but i`m not sure, and also not sure how to use the Event Listener , where exactly ?
Thanks,
Paul

When you post a code, use code tags for propere formatting. Click CODE icon on the taskbar for generating code tag pair you need.
In order to do dragging the figure on the canvas or panel, you should use advanced Java 2D APIs, including Shape and its descendants. Example shown below might help, but beware, this version does not remember previous drag result for a figure over multiple lista Choice selection. Previous drag result is reset for the next selection of the same figure.
If you want to prevent flickering on the screen while dragging, use javax.swing and its components. If you have to use AWT, draw the figure into an Image or BufferedImage of full panel size and call g2.drawImage() in the paint() method.

How can I drag and drop lectures within an itunes U album so that they appear in order after syncing with my iphone?

Whenever I download audio iTunes U lectures, they don't show up in the order in which they were recorded and therefore do not sync in order on my iphone. There is no sorting option to sort by date recorded. All I want to do is drag and drop the individual lectures to their proper location so that they will be in order by recording date. Anyone have the secret?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Cannot change target sound in drag and drop to "no sound" once a default sound is selected in Captivate 8

I was trying out all the options for a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8 and selected one of the default sounds for a target. I want to change it back to "no sound", but the selection never sticks. Is there something I'm missing or is this a "feature"?

When you go to the “Format” tab of the drag and drop properties, there is an option called “audio” (right below the “depth” option).
It has default sounds you can pick (sound1, sound2, sound3, and incorrect sound). Or you can browse to an audio file. If I select one of the default sounds, and then decide not to use any sound, it will not change to the “none” option. I have to delete the drag and drop interaction and start over.
