Drag drop layers behaviour

Sorry if this is simple -I'm new here. I've applied a drag
layers behaviour to a series of layers on a page in Dreamweaver
2004MX. When viewed on the screen resolution I developed the page
on they work fine (1280 by 1024). When I take the screen resolution
down to 1024 by 768 I have to scroll down to drag the layers ...
and then they don't work. It is as though the mousedown event takes
its co-ordinates from the top of the browser window rather than
from the top of the body. In other words I can drag the layer, but
only if I position the mouse the same amount below the layer as
I've just scrolled the browser window. Is there any way to get this
behaving normally?

anyone?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Faking Drag&Drop operation to external application

    Hello,
    a rather complicated issue. in my program i have a JTable, and i can drag&drop from this jtable
    to external programs like windows explorer by clicking the mouse and moving it from the table
    to the external program.
    how can i reproduce this exact behaviour WITHOUT user intervention?
    in other words, how can i do this programmatically, creating a drop source at the start point,
    then move the mouse, and release it above a specified location on the screen?
    is this even possible in java (as we're running in a VM) ?

    it has it's problems.
    for example, if the drop point is above the source point, moving the mouse with the robot sometimes marks all entries in the table instead of performing a drag&drop operation. also, it seems that without a delay between the moves, strange things happen. so here is an updated version which workes 99% flawlessly for me.

         // constructor
         public LoadDeckThread(Point pTrack, Point pSource, Point pMoveTo)

  • CS4 - how do you drag adj. layers to other images?

    I used to drag adjustment layers between opened image files in CS1. Recently I upgraded to CS4.
    Using CS4, even if you open several images at one time, only one of those images is visible on screen at a time.
    With only one image visible, how do you drag adjustment layers to other images that are "opened" but not visible on screen?

    The application frame isn't the ultimate cause of or solution to this problem. It's the tabbed documents that make the difference, because if you have the tabbed document preference turned on, they'll open as tabs even if the application frame is turned off.
    There are a couple of more direct solutions.
    If you like tabbed documents, you can still drag one layer to another but you have to use the Move tool. Select the adjustment layer, grab the Move tool, and drag from the document to the tab of the destination window. The destination tab will light up, letting you know you can now drop the layer in the other document.
    Or, if you don't like the tabbed documents and want to see them all, split the documents apart. You can drag the tabs out of each other so that the windows float. Or, if you have the application frame on, it's a lot faster to just click the Arrange Documents button in the Application Bar and choose one of the n-up display options to get a nice tiled display. The tiled display is a lot easier to manage than several floating documents.
    In any case, you can do all this while leaving the Application Frame on.

  • Drag&Drop Over a Tab

    Since introducing the tabs there is no way to drag&drop a layer from file to file unless you detach (move to new window) the source image. I guess this was overlooked.
    Can we have the ability to drag and drop layers and selection by dragging them onto the tabs?
    And another thing. I deactivated 'Open documents as tabs' in preferences, but it only works when I open documents through PS open dialogue. If I drag&drop a file from the explorer it opens as a tab. Can this be resolved as well?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Dragging and dropping to tabs is something that is implemented, but remember hearing that it was done last minute.I dont use the tabbed interface either. Because it doesnt seem to provide anything that the shortcuts don't provide, and just throws in a whole lot of unecessary interface clutter.
    As for the slowness of the operation of this feature, I have a theory that Adobe have a room full of 70+ gentlemen, all testing new features. "if we'd had something like this in the 1930's, then we woudn't have complained" types.

    I'm new to all of this so please bear with me. I've created

  • Drag & drop layer

    Hi,
    I would like to drag & drop a layer into a other document when document are viewed as tabs.
    I tried to drop the layer on top of the tab of another document, but it doesn't work. When in tab view mode, the only way is to copy and paste. But, I prefered when I can drag & drop layer, this way it keeps layer name.
    Is there a way to drag & drop layer on document that are displayed as tab?
    thanks for your help.

    You can do it in tabs mode. Just drag the layer to the destination tab, wait a minute, the tab will pop to the front and let you drag the layer over. The trick is that you must drag the layer from the document window (using the move tool), not the layer icon from the layers panel. If I am confused then it's the other way around (I don't use tabs).

  • Audio drag & drop = (?) copy to project folder ?

    Hi,
    sorry for the enigmatic topic title, but it explains what I want to achieve.
    I would like Logic to copy an audio file to the projects directory after I drag & drop it in the arrange (just like it is in Cubase).
    I'm really confused about the way Logic handles audio files, and reading the manual did not help me at all. I've been working with Logic for the past year and still audio is a bit... difficult. Any advice and tips is highly appreciated.
    greetings!

    Hi
    Before you start work on a project, select File"Save As..." and check the 'Include Assets" box.
    (This sets the project audio recording path to the project folder).
    Hiding under the 'Advanced Options', there is a check box to select "Copy External Audio Files to the Project Folder".
    This does what you need!
    Please note that you must use Version 8.0.2, as the behaviour has changed. See the Late-Breaking News docs for more info.

  • How to improve Drag&Drop?

    Hey guys,
    we have a graphical editor that we realized with GEF. In this graphical editor you are able to create a process by dragging and dropping elements from the palette and connecting them.
    One nice feature we have is to drag and drop an element on a transition which inserts this element on this position in the "chain".
    The problem we have is that the area to drop the element from the palette is pretty hard to hit. The line itself has a width of 1px. Below the transition the drag area starts exactly where the line starts, so it's hard to hit it from below. Above the transition it's a bit easier because there is a small area of probably 16px. Which is nice because from this side it's much easier to hit the transition. The worst case is a vertical transition because on the sides left and right there is no extended drop area which makes it very hard to hit the transition.
    My question is where I can influence this behaviour. I want to improve the user experience for the drag&drop and so I want to extend the drop area for the transition. Is this possible in GEF? If yes, where do I have to look? For a transition it seems to be harder than for an element that has a fixed size.
    Cheers, David

  • I deleted the "desktop" in tiger, can't "alias", "copy" or "drag & drop" anything to it now, I get a message that "desktop can not be changed"

    I was trying to make an alias of "SAFARI" icon to have on the desktop & in the dock as well, I managed to make the safari icon appear on the desktop, but when I wanted to switch from firefox to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!! ......
      So I have tried to "drag & drop", "alias", "copy", "duplicate" to get things back out of the trash, but every attempt is met with a message "the desktop con not be changed",   and whatever I try to bring anything out of the trash window, it gets a "minus - sign" added to it when it crosses over the edge of the trash window, and of course it jumps right back into the trash when the mouse button is released.
    I think (barely) I will need the do a "clean install", or a "restore" from the install DVD to restore / get the desktop back.
    And while the only thing on the desktop now is the HDD icon, clicking it open does not show the desktop in the Lf. column of the window where it should be, or any OS X folders when clicking on anything, but the OS is is running for this post and yahoo, etc., and there is a upward facing arrow next to the "network" name in the left column, that doesn't go away, like after installing some software, this is weird !!
    Any solid ideas welcomed, and Thanks for reading my driveling post,  .....  wayne146  .........
    this is happening on my back-up machine, a G4 400mhz PCI, OS X TIGER 10.4.11 & 9.2.2 in classic ( all the 9.2.2 stuff does still show in the hdd when clicked )
    I am having bigger troubles with my QS 800 dp, so I need this one to stay online, Please help !!!

    to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!!
    I am confused by what you did.
    open / start safari
    What did you do?  This looks like a terminal command.
    Or, did you click on the safari icon then right click on the safari icon then click on open? 
    I do not understand how you that moving to the trash would be helpful.

  • Can open Topics by drag & drop, but not by double-clicking in the DITA map

    Hi,
    evidently I made an error somewhere in my structure app, the result is that I cannot open DITA topics by double clicking them in the DITA map anymore (Framemaker does simpy nothing). I can, however, open them by dragging the xml files onto the Framemaker window.  If I use the standard DITA 1.2 application everything works fine so I guess the problem is in my mapping.
    Here is what I tried to achieve:
    We need certain variations of the normal 'topic' type topic. The DTD should be identical, however different structures should be auto-inserted when creating a topic and the topic should have certain attribute values predefined.
    The idea is that the author can select one of these topic types when creating a topic, but when opening an existing topic simply edit it with the standard topic temple.
    Here is what I did:
    I duplicated the topic.template.fm, renaming it say "topic_a.template.fm", "topic_b.template.fm" etc. (just an example).
    I made adjustments to the EDD of these templates, changing the auto-insertions and the default values of some attributes.
    In the structapps.fm file I added XML applications for these new topic types, mapping each application to one of the new templates, but to the original topic DTD and r/w rules. E.g. the application "DITA_1.2_topic_a" is mapped to the "topic_a.template.fm" template, and to the original "topic.dtd" and "topic.rules.txt" files.
    In Framemaker I then created corresponding application mappings in the DITA options. E.g. the topic type "A" (which defines the visible text in the "New topic" menu) is maped to the XML application "DITA_1.2_topic_a".
    The result:
    It works as intended in every way when creating topics. The topics are saved with the standard doctype 'topic'. However for when I try to open topics from the DTD by double-clicking then nothing happens. Opening topics by drag & drop works fine though and they are opened with the normal (general) "topic.template.fm" template as desired.
    Any ideas? Was this confusing or am I completely off somewhere?

    Hi Robert...
    When you say that you need "variations" from the normal topic type .. are those structural variations or just formatting? FM associates structure apps with XML files based on the doctype (root element). If your files all have the same root element, then they will all open with the same structure application (unless you specify a different one when opening the file or by importing a new EDD). It sounds like you really should be creating a specialization for each alternate topic type. If you don't, you'll end up getting the wrong "model" assigned to the wrong file.
    Multiple EDDs (structure apps) can share the same DTD, and one EDD (structure app) can support multiple models. This is how the "ditabase" app works. There are lots of ways to set this up, but I think what you've done is probably not quite right.
    The default structure app setup in FM11 and FM12 is very complicated to work with. I recommend creating a single app that supports many models. This isn't always possible, but it sounds like in your case it should be. I've set up one app that supports 13 different specialized topic models and it works fine.
    Note that even though you've added structure apps for each model, if you end up opening the files using the default template, you are no longer using those modified models.
    Sorry, but this is a bit more than can be dealt with appropriately in a forum post. If you'd like more help with this, feel free to contact me off list.
    Cheers,

  • Unable to double-click or drag/drop files to open.

    I'm running Photoshop CC 64 on a Windows 7 64 machine and am only able to open files in Photoshop by going to File->Open. Double-clicking from Explorer doesn't work and i can not drag/drop files into the open application window or taskbar icon. Right clicking on files and selecting "Open with" also doesn't work.
    I checked file associations and made sure to choose CC 64. If I right click on the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator" which I have to do in order to get files to open between Lightroom and Photoshop (both need to be Run As Administrator), I'm still unable to open from Windows Explorer. However, if I check the box to "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut's Compatibility tab, I can double-click to open from Explorer but am prompted with a UAC warning every time. Dragging/dropping into the open app still doesn't work.
    Opening between Bridge and PS works as expected so long as both programs are "Run As Administrator"
    Been searching the forums here and seen suggestions of similar but not the same issue, at least not that I've found.
    Anyone else experiencing? Suggested remedies?

    This is an OS permission problem.  Make sure you have ownership of the HD.  Do a web search on how to check.  External HD can be a problem for permission.

  • Reinstalling CS2, and dragging/dropping files does not work

    I have Photoshop CS2. Or at least I
    had it. I had updated my operating system to Tiger, and it just caused a bunch of files to change, nothing really bad. It gave me an error message upon opening photoshop that "files necessary for running Photoshop were missing from the Application Support folder"
    So I read the advice on this FAQ:
    Scott Weichert, "Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file or I get a message saying that some files in Application Support are missing and I have to reinstall. (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3)" #, 29 Dec 2003 2:45 pm
    And did what it said. I trashed the CS2 folder, and now when I try to re-install it my serial number won't work. Is my $400 serial number now permanently registered on a nonexistent platform?
    As an active photographer and graphic artist, I need Photoshop constantly. So any advice would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. Thank you.

    The problem you got into is a known problem after updating to Tiger. It is a small 4K file that gets trashed with the update. It is called the Adobe Unit Types. Both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements need this file to function.
    One way to get it back is to reinstall Photoshop, the other is to add this file again.
    You can get the file from here http://www.dd.se/Tips/bildbehandling/downloads/AdobeUnitTypes.zip
    It is only 3,7 KB big.
    You put the file you download here:
    [hard disk] /Library/ScriptingAdditions. If you don't have a Scripting Additions folder, you create it.
    As you trashed Photoshop, you need to completely deinstall it to be able to reinstall it.
