Drag-and-drop to desktop brings up Finder window - DO NOT WANT

For some reason, every time I drag-and-drop an image from my browser onto my desktop, it now brings up a Finder window. Is there any way to stop this?
Thanks.

I'm also looking for same, have you found any solutions elsewhere?

    Try holding down the Command key and dragging the file well off the sidebar.

  • Drag and Drop to Desktop Export

    In version 1.5, Aperture was capable of a 'drag and drop to desktop' JPEG export feature. This was very useful as it dramatically reduced the size of the file and maintained the fidelity of the image. However, Aperture 2.0 reduces the file size and dimensions. I would like the original dimensions but a reduced file size without using the Export feature. Any Suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have a similar question. I've noticed, when I drag a photo straight out of Aperture 2 to the Desktop, the file on the desktop takes on some interesting properties. For example, the original photo in Aperture is 4000 pixels in width, but if I drag it to the desktop, the copy it makes is 2000 pixels.
    Also, the dragged/copied version automatically gets an Adobe RGB (1998) ColorSync profile. I don't want it getting/using this profile, I want it using sRGB.
    There doesn't seem to be any control at all over the size and ColorSync profile of the dragged/copied image.

  • Drag and drop multiple mail messages into finder

    I am trying to move multiple mail messages into finder folders for organization and filing purposes.  I know it will save these as mail files but that is what I would like anyway.  It lets me drag and drop one message at a time but does not let me do it for multiple messages at a time.  Does anybody know how to do this?

    You might consider using the "Archive" capability of Mail.  Look at Archive in Mail Help.

  • Can't drag and drop on desktop and I've tried all suggestions from previous threads

    Yesterday I found that I can't drag and drop any files on my desktop. I get the white circle with a line through it when I try to drag anything. I can drag off of my desktop to my HD and to the trash but I can't drag anything back.
    I've read all of the previous threads about it and have tried all of the poetntail fixes including:
    Creating a new user account and switching back and forth
    Sleep / Wake
    Relaunching Finder
    Checking the Dragging option in Universal Access
    Checking all of my settings in prefrences
    (I don't have Air Display, Airparrot or any of the other listed problematic 3rd party programs)
    I even reinstalled Lion and the problem still exists
    Anybody have any other pointers, or should I head into the Genius Bar?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Drag-and-drop to desktop

    In IE, one can select the URL and drag it to the Windows desktop or anywhere else.
    I want to implement the same functionality for my app: drag and drop a selection in the app to the desktop.
    What flavors do I give the Transferable so that happens?
    I wrote a test app to see what IE sends: two text/plain flavors. Almost obviously, I'm afraid to say, when I do the same from my Java app nothing happens.
    And I don't seem to be able to find ANY documentation on the subject ...

  • Drag and drop to desktop icon on Windows

    My Java application is bundled in a JAR (with a MAIN). On Windows (XP, Server 03+ and Windows 7) I would like to have it so the user can drag and drop files and/or folders onto the JAR's icon on the desktop and have it launch its MAIN passing in a list of java.io.File objects representing the dropped item(s).
    Is this possible? Do I need to turn my JAR into an EXE and if so can someone recommend an EXE generator tool that supports this drag-n-drop functionality?
    TIA,
    -Noah

    I've not ever seen another application that would do that without having the application already running, once it is running then you should be able to do a drag and drop.

  • How to drag and drop to desktop

    Hi experts,
    please see the following scenario:
    - We created a report using xCelsius that is technically a Flash file (SWF)
    - We included this into an iView
    Is there a possibility to drag and drop it to the Windows Desktop (e.g. Pressing the left mouse button and release it on the Desktop as it works for simple images)?
    Best Regards and thanks for your help.

  • Drag and Drop of Page from Content Finder into Page Component

    Hi,
    Does anybody has a sample code for Page component which accepts the page when dragging and dropping from the content finder? Basically I am trying to create a web page with page component on it and customized the content finder to display all the pages that I needed on a separate tab, I am trying to drag and drop the pages from the content finder to the page component of the web page that I created, but it is not working for me. If someone has any sample working code please share it.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There's no direct support for this. But you could implement
    drag and drop the way you normally would in javascript. Except
    here, on mouseUp over a div encapsulating the object or embed tag
    (the flash object), you'll need to make a call into actionscript
    from javascript indicating that a drag and drop happened.
    For more info, see
    how
    to drag and drop using javascript and
    actionscript
    and javascript communication

  • Why can't Mac users, who have multiple devices, have device icons for drag and drop, on desktop rather than iCloud, iTunes, etc. ?

    I want drag and drop in the form of icons on my iMac, from all my other Apple devices. I don't want to have to go through iCloud, iTunes and DropBox.

    What are you other apple devices?
    For an all Mac OS X set, you could write an applescript to perform the task.

  • Drag-and-drop from desktop to Flex app

    I am working on a RIA using flex and am trying to implement drag and drop of different types of files into a Flex UI, I know this is possible using AIR but we are trying to do it through Flex in a browser. Trying out options with javascript and active x controls but no success till now.
    I am seeking pointers to any sites that implemented this or any direction on cracking this one.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh Patwari

    Thank you for the quick response Jeffry,
    Yes, I am facing that issue whichever way we are going in! How about using Javascript/HTML as iframe within flex to get this done?
    Just thinking about it...
    Thanks again,

  • Drag and drop file into email gets me an icon, not the image. Is there a simple fix?

    I am used to drag and drop image import into apple email. Recently I get a "mail attachment" icon for images that have been previously sent in other email. I would like to see the actual image in every email if possible. How can that happen?

    Thanks for the help. Dragging the thumbnail onto the album tab works great. Too bad this was not a bit clearer in the previous posts.

  • I'm unable to drag-and-drop a script from the Story window in Premiere Pro to a clip

    I have a film script visible in the Story window, and I try to drag it to the relevant clip in the Premiere Pro project window—but nothing happens.
    I have also tried to attach an astx file, but I get the "matching scene number not found" error, even though I put scene number 1 in the clip and in the astx.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Incidentally, though your help indicates that "all the scripts" you have in Story will be visible in the Story Windows in Premiere Pro, I can see only the film scripts—not for instance the multicolumn scripts I also have.  Is there something I can do about this?
    Thanks you,
    PIerre Sauvage

    Hi,
    Please make sure that you are performig drag drop with scenes and not complete scripts. You will notice a cursor change when you do so. For more clarification, please refer to this post. 'http://forums.adobe.com/message/5533247#5533247'.
    Importing astx is a much longer way to go through the same thing , so i would suggest to try out the drag drop workflow only and let me know in case you still face issues with it.
    Also, yes, column scripts wont be visible to you in the Story panel inside Premiere. For this, I am afraid you will have to convert your column scripts into a film script. Let me know if you need help with this.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks
