Dragging images from browser to desktop - don't appear where dropped

I am not sure it it's a browers' or system weirdness:
in my view options I have set my desktop to not align icons to grid.
when I drag an URL from browser to desktop it appears exactly where I've dropped it.
when trying to do the same with images (dragging from browser onto desktop) they jump/align with other icon/files I already have on my desktop.
this happens only since I've installed 10.6
I've tested with different browsers and realized this only happens with firefox and camino...(in safari it works as expected).
bye,
beatrice

Dragging images from Safari to Desktop, image goes to random location

Hi Everyone,
Problem is being experienced on a Retina MBP, in a laptop-screen + 2 more setup: one through Thunderbolt to DVI, and the other using HDMI to DVI.
It's pretty easy to reproduce. I open Safari up, not fullscreen, and drag an image that's in the browser (e.g., a picture in a Google images search), onto a specific space on the desktop. When I let go, it saves, but the icon for that image on the desktop is anywhere _but_ where I dropped it. It seems purely random, I can't establish a pattern.
From hereon it it's probably venting, so I'll spare you guys!
My desktop view options are set to "Sort By: None".
Screen 1: 15" Retina MBP
Screen 2: Dell LCD 1680x1050
Screen 3: Dell LCD 1680x1050
I don't experience this when not in multi-monitor mode. Using any of the external monitors, be it one or two, seems to be a part of the problem. Could this be a bug to do with Safari, retina, and external displays?
Thanks.
Alex

Dragging images from browser to a folder force-saves them as .bmp, how to fix?

So here's the thing: I'm using the latest Firefox. If I click an image and drag it from the browser page to a directory/file it saves the image as a .bmp, even if it were .jpg or .gif or whatnot.
Right-clicking and saving the images works fine.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, downgrading to a 25 (newest is 26) and this: https://support.mozilla.org/fi/questions/833095
Didn't fix.
Downgrading to 25 did fix a sign-in issue related to steam store page, it's back now that I upgraded back to 26, but that's not the main issue here.
I have AdBlock Plus and Nicofox as addons, but disabling them didn't help at all.
I noticed this problem after christmas, so roughly a week ago.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can't drag image from browser into Artwork panel

Hey all,
This is on Snow Leopard, using the latest iTunes and Firefox versions.
When a file (or group of files) lacks artwork, I often use Google Images, find the appropriate image, drag the image to the desktop, then drag the image from the desktop into the mp3 file's "Artwork" panel when you have "Get Info" opened--and then delete the file on the desktop. There's too many steps.
Is there however some way to directly drag the image from Firefox directly into iTunes? And if not, is there some other easier way to add artwork?
Thank you for any tips.

you can add artwork by going these routes:
select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of e.g. Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.
Oh! I like this method. Saves the step of having to place it somewhere on the hard drive and deleting it after. Thank you, Jolly Giant.

Can't drag images from preview drawer?

Can anyone tell me why I can no longer drag an image from the Preview drawer to copy the file to a new location? It was a great way to quickly sort through images in Panther, but now all I get is the white 'not allowed' cursor.

Yeah, annoying isn't it? What I've been doing to sort things is to empty my Trash. Then I can drag images from the Preview thumbs into the Trash. It allows you to MOVE them from where they were into the Trash this way. After I've gotten all of one category moved out, I open Trash and drag them into a new folder. Then I sort thru the remaining pix using my next category, and so on. It's the only way I've found to use Preview even close to the handy way I used to use it in Panther to quickly sort photos. But I don't much like the dis-improvement. BTW, if I remember, I will sometimes launch the old version of Preview that resides on my Panther drive. It still works. You can see animated gifs with it too (another function missing in action in the new Preview).

Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette

Hi,
I have problem and I can't solve it
Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette, Although I set up NI imaq and NI Vision Acquisition Why??
Anyone can help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the image is already a Grayscale U8 image you would just have to save it to a bitmap file using the IMAQ WriteFile VI. If not, use the IMAQ Cast Image VI to convert it to a Grayscale U8 and then save it.
Also, it would probably be better to create a new thread for questions like these.

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.

Cannot drag and drop image from Safari to Desktop - drop location is unavai

Drag and drop an image from Safari 2.0.4 to the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Desktop does not save it. Console says:
"drop location is unavailable"
Control click over the image and "Save Linked File to the Desktop" works as expected.
Any hint most welcome. Thanks.

Why not simply adjust the link for the image in the Links palette? Certainly could be contained in an action, if need be for duplicating and exporting multiple images...

Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

Hey Guys,
I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

Hi All,
This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

Photoshop CS5 - drag images from web into photoshop issue

Has anyone had this happen or know a solution? Photoshop CS5 at work does this, but the one I bought for home doesn't... weird
When I drag an image from the web directly into Photoshop, the program almost freezes, I can select tools, but cant use them, I can get the handles to display with Free Transform, but then cant scale it. I have to actually close the file, then re-open it to continue working.

The exact same thing happens with my photoshop CS5! very irritating! My boyfriends photoshop CS5 works fine and does not have this problem either! HELP!

Flash CS4 crashes when dragging image from library to stage

Everytime I'm trying to drag an image from the library to the stage, the program crashes.
I've been sending the crash logs to Adobe many times, but never got any solution from them.
In the log there a line that says:
<crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" instruction="0x0c4feb66>
I'm working with 10.0.2, I thought the latest update will fix that, but it doesn't.
Changing the UI from Essential to Classic doesn't help (read somewhere it can help).
Anyone knows what to do to stop these crashes?

Yes, did all the updates, both XP and Java.
It looks like it's a library issue. Almost every action I'm doing in the library (drag, copy etc.) causes the Flash to crash.
What can be the problem?

I guess there are not phone support... I cannot drag images from grid view into collections.

I have been trying desperately to fix this issue. I cannot drag any images from the grid view into collections. Can anyone help? I looked everywhere for a customer support number but I was not able to find one on Adobe Website.

Hi,
Only a couple of things I can think of:
1. Make sure it isn't a Smart Collection, and
2. Drag by placing the cursor on the actual picture NOT the grey area surrounding the image.
