Drag drop from bridge to InDesign.

I am having problems with getting drag drop to work from bridge to InDesign. I have made an extension that reads information from ouer dam and shows it in bridge. I wont to bee able to drag a node from that data from bridge(It shows fine in bridge with thumbs) to InDesign. I have enabled:
               if(infosetName == "item" || infosetName == "all")
                    infoset.cacheData.status = "good";
                        if(!currentNode.isContainer())
                            infoset.canBeDragSource = true;
                            infoset.canBeDropTarget = true;
in
        dbiModel.refreshInfoset = function(infosetName)
And made
        dbiModel.addToDrag = function(pointerToOsDragObject)
            return true;
        dbiModel.wouldAcceptDrop = function(type, sources, osDragRef)
            return false;
And are able to drag the node but other applications dosent accept it as valid.
Whot am i missing?

It has just never worked that way and I've never seen a request for it either.
In the Control Panel you have got a Bridge Icon
At the bottom of the document window you have the Browse in Bridge
The Default Shortcut for Bridge is CTRL+ALT+o (CMD+OPT+o)
In Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts under
Product area : Panel Menus
Layout Window Status: Reveal in Bridge --- [none defined]
or
Layout Window Status: Reveal in Mini Bridge --- [none defined]
to add your own shortcut to Reveal in Bridge command
But I just don't see a way to go "Place from Bridge"
In fact - in all the years I've been on the forums I have never seen the request.
However you can make feature requests here
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
And there's a feature request forum
http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_feature_requests
And in the end - someone might be able to script an option to go to Bridge for File>Place

Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
I tried accessing the two preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
Any idea what's going on and what to do?
Thanks!!!
Amy

There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

Why do Images sometimes flip when dragging from bridge into indesign?

Why do Images sometimes flip orientation when dragging from bridge into indesign? Using a mac.

That's what I thought was happening with my coworker as well, but she is simply just dragging and placing the image into an empty area. The file she is working with is one that was converted from quark with an add on, would that have any relation to why this is happening?

Dragging Files From Bridge CC to File System OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

Looks like many others are finding it impossible to drag and drop elements from program to program.
I'll join this group of people and say:
I cannot drag files from Bridge CC to a finder window in OSX 10.9.
(I blame fruit over mudbrick on this issue.) Has anyone found a workaround?

If you have a Time Machine backup that is still on Mavericks, use this article to restore it: OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
If you do not have a Time Machine backup, and your computer shipped with Mavericks (meaning when you first received it, it had Mavericks installed), follow these steps to restore your computer to Mavericks (This will result in the hard drive being erased, so backup the data you still need!)
1. Turn up your computer's volume to the point where you can hear it.
2. Reboot the computer, and upon hearing the startup chime, press and hold the Command, Option, and R keys.
3. You should see a spinning globe and your computer will begin starting up from Internet Recovery. Once this happens, let go of the keys you are holding down.
4. Once it starts up, chose Disk Utility, then Continue.
5. Chose your startup disk (typically Macintosh HD), then click Erase.
6. Format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and then click Erase (make sure you have backed up all the data you still need!).
7. Once it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
8. Choose Reinstall OS X, then Continue.
9. Follow the on-screen instructions to install OS X on the disk you just erased.
Hope this helps! Reply if you have any questions or need more help!
Best Regards,
OSX Enthusiast

AICS4 drag/drop from finder not working

so I'm a huge fan of dragging and dropping my images from the finder into an AI doc, but suddenly i can no longer do this. yes, all the layers are unlocked and visible, so it's not that. they're RGB images (jpgs, psds, mostly) and the document is RGB, so it's not that.
did i accidentally hit a keystroke that would prevent this from happening properly? the ai doc window highlights when i drag over it, but then it just sort of twinkles and does nothing.
i've restarted illustrator, still no go.
any ideas?
thank you,
erika

I can place the image the slow and boring way, one at a time. however, i cannot drag and drop from Bridge either.
There's something up with the file. it works fine in a new file. what did I do?

Placing files from Bridge. Indesign is not an option.

Drag & Drop from Outlook into SAP BDS (sales order, deliveries, etc.)

Hello everyone,
I have some problems with Email archiving between SAP ECC 6.0 and Outlook 2007. The overall scenario should look like:
Outlook (drag&drop) --> SAP object like e. g. sales orders as Business Document --> third party archive.
The problem we are facing starts with the false or maybe non existing drag & drop function for Outlook. The direct drag&drop from Outlook only creates a textline in SAPs Business Document. There ist no problem at all if we store the Email on the hard drive in .msg format and afterwards drag&drop it to the Business Document.
Is there any way to skip the latching on the hard drive and communicate directly between SAP and Outlook? Otherwise how do you handle this problem?
Thank you.

Is there no one else who got this problem?

Drag files from bridge to finder?

Am I able to drag files from Bridge to the finder? I'm working on a server and when I drag files from one finder window to another it'll copy those files in the new location. Can I do that visually with Bridge?

Whatever you do in Bridge is instantly reflected in the Finder and vice-versa. Bridge is only a file browser that shows you what's in the Finder. You cannot avoid copying a file to the hard disk if its on a server. Period. Even from a local disk to another local disk, you must COPY the file.
On a related note:
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to working across a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Drag & Drop from JTree (String) to JTextArea (Graphics2D)

Hi everyone,
I want to create a Drag & Drop from a JTree node to any location in a JTextArea. Upon dropping the node onto the JTextArea, I would want to draw a rectangle and the node name.
I've created a custom transfer handler which allows the transferring of text from the tree node to the JTextArea.
Any general ideas on how I can do that are wlecomed.

I've managed to get hold of the JPanel via TransferHandler.TransferSupport.getComponent()
the source seems a bit more tricky. I've tried this
Transferable tr = support.getTransferable();
               DataFlavor f = new DataFlavor();
               f = new DataFlavor(MyTreeNode.class,"MyTreeNode");
               try {
                    Object o = tr.getTransferData(f);...
but the source does not provide a MyTreeNode instance, but something else (a String, I guess)
how can I change this?

Drag & Drop from the Bridge to CS2 apps

A great feature for the Bridge would be having the ability to Drag & Drop directly from the Bridge WITHOUT opening the files to other CS apps. This could work much like InDesign "Book Items" buy would be for entire suite.

But you have to have the files open. I would like to be able to Drag & Drop, directly from the Bridge. IE not having the file open. The same way Book Items work in InDesign. If you have an EPS file, saved in the Book Items, all you have to do is Drag it into your indd file.

How do I drag and drop from LR to InDesign?

I read somewhere on a forum (maybe this one?) that you can drag and drop photos directly from LR to InDesign.
I have LR 4 and InDesign CS6. No matter what I try, I can't figure out how to drag and drop files from LR4 to InDesignCS6. I always get a "cannot" icon appear in LR.
I try to drag-n-drop PSD and JPG files from LR to inDesign.
Is it possible to do?
Thank you,

PS. I also tried drag-and-dropping to Photoshop, and it doesn't work either.
I did more research online, and the more I research this, the more it seems that the LIGHTROOM DRAG AND DROP functionality works on MAC but not on PC...
If it is the case, this would be a major annoyance.
Some people said this feature worked on PC in Windows Vista.
I tried running LR in compatibility more (Vista SP2), but this did not fix the issue.
I am starting to wonder if this is a problem with LR running on WINDOWS x64 systems... (I am running WIN7 x64)

Drag&Drop from Lightroom to Premiere doesn't work! Programming an alternative?

Unfortunally the is no working Drag&Drop ability to drag a videofile from the Lightroom Library into the Premiere Project View.
(This Problem appears only on a Windows machine not on Mac)
This is becaus if you send a (valid) filepath to "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" as a parameter it doesn't do anything! Why that?!?!?
It makes no difference if you drop a file on "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" or if you use the windows command shell like "C:/...<path to premiere>.../Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" "myfile.avi" , simply nothing happens - at least with Premiere Pro CS5...
So the Idea is to build an Lightroom Plug-In, that opens an exe-file with the filepaths of the currently selected Viedeos from the Lightroom Library as parameter.
The exe-file should pass the information to an opened Project in Premiere an load the Videos into the Project.
With ExtendScript Tool i can get this behaviour with this code:
var myFiles = ["C:\\01.avi, ..."];
app.project.importFiles(myFiles);
I don't think that the Premiere SDK will help me out, because with that I can only build Plug-Ins that work INSIDE Premiere. I need a Executable that can send information/files to Premiere from Outside. The only thing I can think of is to load the right dll-file and call the function() for importing files to Premiere (I think this is what ExtendScript Tool does ), but I don't know how to start, because nothing is documented about the dlls...
Any Ideas

EDIT:
Ok, I identified the dll which is importing Video-Files to Premiere: HSL.dll
At my pc it is located in:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\"
The function that is called is named ImportFiles(...)
That's the whole code, reverse engineered:
HSL::ImportFiles
    std::vector <
                std::basic_string <unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> >,
                std::allocator <std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > >
                >
    const&,
    bool,
    bool,
    std::vector <
                ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectItem, BE::IProjectItem>,
                std::allocator<ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectItem, BE::IProjectItem> >
                >&,
    std::vector <
                std::pair<int, std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > >,
                std::allocator<std::pair<int, std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > > >
                >&,
    ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectLoadStatus, BE::IProjectLoadStatus>&,
    DLG::ImportFromEDL::ImportFromEDLDialog*,
    std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > const*,
    DLG::ImportFromEDL::ImportNewSequenceMediaParamsDialog*
Can anybody "read" that , or anybody know how to get this working with c++?

Windows Storage Server 2008 - unzip with drag & drop from Windows 7 client fails

Hello.
As i asked this question in German and got no answer so i try it in English now.
I have the following problem:
We have a Windows SBS 2008, where we store our files. If somebody opens a ZIP-file on a network share from a Windows 7 Client (64 Bit) it is possible to drag & drop the content (multiple files) to a directory. So far everything works as expected.
We now have an additional Windows Storage Server 2008 integrated in our domain (Buffalo Tera Station WS-QV8/R5), where we also store files. If somebody opens the same ZIP-file on a network share of this server from a Windows 7 Client and tries to drag &
drop the content the following happens:
1. only one file is extracted and to display the file a refresh of the explorer view is needed.
2. when the drag & drop action is repeated a second file is extracted
Not alle files are extracted and there is no error message or indication why this happens.
The behaviour is reproducible from another Windows 7 Client (32 Bit).
If we try to drag & drop the files from the ZIP-file on the Windows Storage Server network sahre to a directory on the SBS network share all files are extracted correctly.
On the Windows Storage Server itself all files are extracted without problmems. Therefore it must be a problem with the combination of Windows Storage Server und Windows 7 Client accessing the files via network shares.
Are there any ideas where this problem could be located? Has anybody the same phenomenon and maybe a solution for it?
Thanks in advance
Michael Pruss

Hi Michael,

Drag&Drop from Browser to AIR App

Hi there,
i wonder how it is possible to drag an element from a flash
page in my browser to an air app on my desktop. i've seen the
showcase
of the nickelodeon jigsaw game on adobe.com, but the videos
looks kind of post-processed.
do you have any tipps on how to enable flash/AIR
drag&drop trespassing the browser borders?

Thanks for your answer.
i already tried something like this, but i still have
problems with getting the newly created entity dragged. how can I
position the new entity from my air app directly under the mouse
cursor? so far i didn't find any screen mouse position functions or
properties. If I use a fullscreen, always on top window with mostly
transparent parts, I can't capture the mouse position using
MOUSE_MOVE all the time. Besides, how can I change the focus from
my browser to my air app? I already tried calling
nativeWindow.orderToFront() and nativeWindow.activate(), but the
focus doesn't change when I click the entity in my flash page.
Maybe somebody knows an answer to this ...

Home Sharing between Mac & PC - Can't drag & drop from one to the other.

I have a Mac & a PC. I turned on home sharing and it works well, except that I want to copy all of the music on the Mac over to the PC. With Home Sharing active, you should be able to drag & Drop, but I can't. I read the help article and it says that the computer icon of the remote computer that you are sharing from should be in the left pane under Shared in iTunes. I don't see this. I only see my library.
Any suggestions?

these reads may be helpful:one and two.
