Drag & Drop from Media Inspector crashes iWeb

Could somebody please tell me what the Media Inspector in iWeb is for if I can't drag and drop files from it? Every time I try to drag and drop even the shortest clip from the Media Inspector into iWeb, the latter hangs/crashes and I have to exit the app via a Force Quit.
Dragging and dropping the same clip from an open Finder window, on the other hand, works w/o a hitch.

Chris ~ The Console app in the +Applications > Utilities+ folder may help to pinpoint the problem. See this Macworld article:

Can't drag photos from Media Inspector/Iphoto onto photo grid page

Each time I try to drag the picture pops back into iphoto list

You may have an issue with your iPhoto Library.
To test:
1.) Hold down the option key
2.) Launch iPhoto while still holding option
3.) Click on create new
4.) Save a new library
5.) Go to File > Import to Library and import a few pictures from Macintosh HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
__Try dragging a picture in iWeb now
If it works then your iPhoto Library is damaged.
1.) Hold down the option key
2.) Launch iPhoto while still holding option
3.) Choose your original iPhoto Library
4.) Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 to rebuild your library. Check off the bottom 3 options and rebuild. Then try iWeb again.
Hope that helps.

Difference between importing images from iphoto via drag & drop vs 'media' button

Hi (long time reader of this community, but my first post),
i'm creating a huge document (approximately 200 pages) in Pages (5.0.1, Using Maverick on a 27 inch iMac).
In the new version of Pages the "Media" button only produces small images that makes it difficult for me to choose which photo i want.
Is there a difference between importing images from iphoto drag & drop vs 'media' button.
Or is it better to just drag and drop the original jpegs (which i also have in a folder).
Is Pages the best program to use for this type of project? it is a profolio with about 4 photos, text, text boxes etc on each of the 200+ pages.
any help much appreciated.

Pages 4.3 might be up to the job. I very much doubt Page 5.0.1 is. It lacks more than 90 features of its predecessor and is very buggy to boot. You probably have an iwork09 folder in your Applications folder. I suggest you trash Pages 5.0.1 and use Pages 4.3 until Apple makestheir new "Eddie Cue" ready for prime time (if, that is, they ever do).

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 & 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?

Dragging photos from media tab in iMovie 6 disapear from timeline.

Hi guys
Ever since i upgraded to Leopard, i now can not drag and drop photos into the Tim line of iMovie 6HD., they seem to automatically delete themselves.
I drag them from the iMovie media window, i see them converting into the time line but they turn blue as if i selected them and disappear.
Anyone have a clue wo thy please do advise on this one ;(

I teach iMovie at a local community college. My students are having a similiar, if not the same problem. When we try to drag or import still images into iMovie HD6, some images will appear to import, but when they finish, they become blank clips. They are not PICT files, we checked that. They are all .jpgs, some taken from the Internet and some from digital cameras. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why they don't import correctly. It is happening on multiple machines, not just one machine. If you go in and turn off the Ken Burns effect, they load fine. But if you go back and turn it on for the clip, it turns it blank again. Anyone got a clue what this is. I have searched everywhere for an answer and have not found one. BTW...we're still using Tiger.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

Drag & Drop from/to shared libraries

OK...I have home sharing setup, can see all libraries (2 PCs and an ipad), can stream from any shared library. I was hoping i could drag and drop music and playlists from a shared library to my ipad2...but doesn't work....get the 'no' symbol when trying to do that. I can drag and drop to the ipad from the computer that it is connected to....but not the shared libraries. Tried changing sync setting to manual...but same result....cant drag music from shared library to the ipad.
Have checked all settings I can think of. Anyone know how? Am I wanting to do something that is not possible?
