Drag & Drop from Desktop

I am trying to drag jpeg photos from my desktop into iMovie 11. There are several photos that have come from my Sony Bloggie and worked fine while importing into iMovie 09, but now that I've upgraded I can seem to get these photos into the library?

You can not do pictures in the new iMovie 11 "movie trailers" at least, not with the one I've chose to use.
True. The best way to use pictures (stills) is to firstly duplicate the Trailer (right-click on project name in Project Library and select Duplicate Project). Before duplicating the Trailer, complete as much of it as you can - including adding dummy clips where you wish to insert stills rather than video. Now convert the duplicate to a normal project (File>Convert to Project). The converted Trailer can now be edited in the normal way. Replace the dummy clips with your stills, ensuring that you maintain the same duration - otherwise the music will get out of sync and will end at a different spot.
Another way is to create a normal project containing just the stills you want to use in a Trailer. Export this project (at the best setting available) then re-import to an iMovie Event. The clips will now be in video format, so you can drag them into your Trailer. When creating the stills project, ensure that you give each clip enough duration to fit the proposed position in your Trailer, as you won't be able to lengthen them once re-imported to an Event.

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?

Why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto

why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto all of a sudden?

From iPhoto help:
To import photos from a hard disk:
Do one of the following:
Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto main window.
Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto icon in the dock.
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.” Then select the photos you want to import and click Import.

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?

No longer able to drag & drop to desktop..

I was hoping someone here could help me.
My son thought he (we) would like to try a new finder type app.
I told him (after 2 days) that he could do this on "his computer" not mine.
Once he removed the application and put everything back in order.........
I no longer can drag & drop images to the desktop?!?
He has no clue and I am praying that someone with smarter skills than me can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Move the com.apple.finder.plist file out of your users /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop, OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon, select Relaunch, and see if that fixes the problem. If so, delete the moved file and reset your other Finder preferences. If you don't remember how you had things, check the Finder's preferences via Finder->Preferences. If this doesn't fix the issue, create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists there.
Once you resolve the issue, ban your son from your computer.

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 ...

Opening/Dragging Images from Desktop into Photoshop CS4

I'm trying to import/drag/open a png image file from finder, my desktop, or anywhere on my hard drive into an existing photoshop document. Unfortunately, the image does not drop into the existing document; it just bounces off. No new layer is created. When I try to import the photo manually from File-->Open, the image is opened in a new document instead of the existing one.
This only occurs for images saved on my hard drive. Any image pulled from a web browser and dragged/dropped into the document creates a layer. I'm running Snow Leopard.
I've installed the latest software updates to Snow Leopard and installed the latest CS4 patch, version 11.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Alex Doan

Excuse me

That's because when you "drag" from the web browser, you are performing a copy-and-paste from one application to another one. The Finder is not involved. As I said earlier, "The Finder knows nothing about dragging Photoshop layers."
My original post was poorly written. Please ignore my digression on file-->open, which loads the image into a new layer in a new document, which it has always done and like you said, is normal behavior.
I was emphasizing that I can't find a way to directly insert a photo from the OS (Snow Leopard) running CS4 into an existing document in one step. The directory path of the file on the OS is meaningless in regard to this behavior.
Tai Lao wrote:That is perfectly normal, expected behavior. The Finder is not involved. As I said earlier, "Are you suggesting it used to behave any differently for you earlier? ??? !!
I am running CS5 on Snow Leopard on another computer. Dragging and dropping a picture located anywhere on the OS into an existing document works flawlessly, and loads the image into a new layer within the open document.
You've lost the script by focusing on the finder. The file path of the image, whatever it is:
/Users/alex/Desktop/image.png
/Users/alex/Documents/image.png
/Users/alex/Pictures/image.png
should be meaningless.
Dragging and dropping an image from OS X to Photoshop is the rule and this failure the exception.
There is something I'm not doing or a misconfiguration causing this.

Drag & drop from iTunes

I'm a DJ and I use iTunes as my main music library/management system. Before, I could use iTunes seamlessly with my music production software as I could drag & drop a song from iTunes into my music software, but now, after running the auto update for iTunes, I discovered that Apple disabled this function. For me this option is critical. Can the powers that be at Apple pls pls pls pls restore this function, my life is **** without this function

Have you talked to the developer of your DJ software to see if they have an update or workaround? Drag-and-drop from iTunes to the desktop still works just fine, so the function hasn't been completely removed. Your production software may need an update to work directly with the new version of iTunes.

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::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

Can't drag files from desktop to project files window

Im using the latest premiere pro version, 7.2, and while I can drag files from my desktop to the project window in premiere 6, for some reason its no longer possible in premiere 7.2
whenver I try to drag audio or video files from my desktop or any folder to the project files window at the bottom left I get a forbidden sign or circle with a diagonal so the only way to import files is through the import menu, which is less straightforward and slowlier
Ill be happy to provide more data if required
thanks
PS: obviously Ive already created a sequence so the problem is not that

The latest version is 7.2.2 (33)
Upgrade to that and see if it helps.

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.

Can't drag items from desktop to Captivate 6.1 64bit

I updated from Captivate 6.0.1 to 6.1 (both 64 bit) and can no longer drag items from the desktop or Adobe Bridge to a Captivate project. I reinstalled 6.0.1 and could. Again updated to 6.1 and again could not. The Import to library button and the import PhotoShop menu items work fine.
Any ideas?

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
We have checked that in a local user account we can drag items from the desktop in Captivate 6.0.1 but not in Captivate 6.1.
After logon to the built in administrator account of the computer you can drag items in Captivate 6.1 also. It is because of the permission, now dragging requires all kind of permissions on the computer.
Thanks

Can't drag & drop from iPhoto into iMovie 10

Am trying to add some photos from my iPhoto library into an iMovie 10 project. I access the iPhoto library and the pictures show up, but when I try to drag/drop or add to the timeline, nothing happens. The little hand shows up over the photo, and even the + sign, but when I try to move or add it, nothing happens.
And, once I select one photo, it seems stuck until I deselect all.
Dragging of clips from the event library doesn't seem to be a problem.
Any advice or help is appreciated.

With a picture selected from the iPhot Library as it shows up in iMovie, if you select a photo by clicking on it once, then click the plus sign, what happens?

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.

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
