Enable Drag and Drop from mail to inbox folder

Using Outlook 2007... Somehow my drag and drop function has been disabled. I can no longer select an email and move it into a mail folder by dragging and dropping. I am able to right click and select "move to" but dragging and dropping is much
more efficient with the volume of email I'm receiving. This happened to me years ago but the company's IT guy fixed it while I was out of the office. When asked he said I had typed a keyboard code unknowingly that disabled the function. Any ideas on how to
regain the awesomeness that is drag and drop??

Hi,
Some users who encountered the same issue are able to resolve it by pressing ESC key for several times, you may have a try and let me know the result.
If above doesn't make any change, we may try to right-click the email you want to move and drag it to the target folder, then select Move from the pop-up menu to see if it will work.

Drag and drop from mail to address book not happening

Hi guys, I can no longer drag email addresses from Mail into Address Book. The address just bounces back. I've repaired permissions, installed the latest security update, repaired permissions again, rebooted twice. Any ideas?
Mail 4.5. Address Book 5.0.3 (883). Mac OS 10.6.8. MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Hi mbriscoe, I've since upgraded to Lion and the same downgrade of functionality exists. I can no longer drag and drop an address from Mail into Address Book. I now have to click name, wait for menu, select Add to Address Book, go into Address Book and find the name I just added, then drag the name into the specific group I want it to be in. It used to be very useful, the drag and drop, in an "it just works" kind of way. Now it's not.

More friendly drag-and-drop from grid view to folder

From within the grid view, I do a multiple selection and drag the pictures to a folder on the left, to move all the pictures to that folder. If in the folder there is already a file with the same name as one of the selected pictures, the whole operation is cancelled. It is extremely annoying. LR might instead pop up a dialog asking if I still want to move the pictures that can be moved. Even better, the dialog should give options to overwrite the file in the destination folder, or to automatically re-name either file and stack them.

On the page itself (icloud.com/iwork) it states "To get started, launch [Pages, Numbers, Keynote] on your iOS device and turn on iCloud." This would lead me to believe you need to have the iOS version before you can even try using the icloud.com/iwork to upload files.
I personally am not paying $10 just to test this, but if anyone else has tested this, it would be great to either confirm or deny this beyond just what I'm reading from it.
Well, I have paid those 30 $ ( well 24 Euros ) for keynote,numbers and pages and yes you absolutely need at least one of these apps on your Device in order to unlock the "drag and drop" solution in the Browser. In other words - if you do not own a iDevice or not have one of that apps, you can't use icloud.com/iwork and its upload features at all.
After all it is only for iOS iwork; Mac iwork09 does not sync to the cloud at all, regardless of "documents and data" set to yes in icloud on OSX. On the contrary if you enable the same feature on your iOS5 device and set the iwork apps to store their documents in icloud, the syncing does start. So it kinda makes sense to force the presence of the iOS apps.
iwork on iOS is pretty good, all 3 apps are high quality, come with those typical awesome templates and have tons of options to print,share and sync; but beware of the cloud storage thing : randomly documents in iCloud just delete themself.Go figure in the support forum for iwork for ios here - 100s users have experienced lost data using iwork for iOS in the cloud; So I turned this whole thing off again and sync my documents old fashioned via iTunes.

Drag and Drop e-mails to a SharePoint Online Folder

Summary
E-mail to a list is not available in SharePoint Online (yet) and it is difficult to move e-mails from Outlook to a SharePoint list for collaboration, storage and search. The following steps will put a file on the users desktop that will open a SharePoint list and then you can drag and drop e-mails into the proper folder.
Step 1
Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
3.       Click on your top folder
4.       Click on Actions
5.       Open with Windows Explorer
6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
Step 2
Go to Start, Computer
1.       Click on Map Network Drive
2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
3.       Check Reconnect at logon
4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
*note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
Step 3
Open Notepad
1.       Type in the following:
“explorer z:” (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
2.       Click File
3.       Click Save As
4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
·         Save to the Desktop
When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

Hi,
I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail? (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

Issue : drag and drop from list control to tree control

Hi,
I was trying a drag and drop from list control to tree control. I have used some sample data to populate list and tree controls .
It is working fine . except one problem ..
Prob : when i drag an item to tree control .. it gets added .. now tree contains (X+1) data in list .. say X is the inital number of nodes in a tree node.
          now if i drag another item from list to last item in the tree node .. i.e at X+1 index. .. it throws null pointer exception.

How to to drag and drop apple mail into a browser or a webpage?

I want to drag and drop a mail from mailbox to a webpage for uploading.
is it possible to do that?

In the edit page mode, click the pencil of the region were your portlets are. A region is a box with a dotted line. In the first tab you have the ability to select "Allow action". Default this is set to "all". When you set it to "none", your portlets can not be drag & dropped.

Also, I am wondering if we can do some settings for enabling developers to use import wizard-client tool.
Any suggestion from soem experts...?

You can do "drag-n-drop" in the Java Report Panel. But you cannot "drag-n-drop" report objects from folder to folder which is a poor design in my humble opinion. ASUG (America's SAP Users' Group) is starting several Influence Councils this year. If you are interested in voicing your constructive opinion and suggestion to the Product Managers, please go to asug.com to find out more information and to sign up.
As of Import Wizard, it is an administrator tool and should be restricted to administrators only. Making it available to developers/users is asking for trouble. It will lead to total chaos.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

I can't drag and drop from a data CD I recorded

I recently burned some audiobooks files (in mp3 format) as data cd's in Toast 8.0.1. When I go to reload them back onto my 20" 2 Ghz Dual Core Intel I can't drag and drop the files directly into any folder while using the columns view in a finder window. I can do it if I drag onto the music folder and let it spring open down to the level of the folder. I also can drag the mp3's into iTunes and then into the folder. This is not CD related since I used several diff brands.
I constantly update, backup, repair permissions, and do other maintenance so everything is up to date. I have noticed this behavior just since I started to use the program called Audiobook Builder. I am (and have always used) a non-admin user account. When this started a few months ago it seemed to go away with a restart, permission repair, or a logout but now it seems permanant. I checked user permissions on my home folder - I have not added any software since adding Audiobook Builder. Any idea's? I read something about trashing a com.apple pref but didn't try that.
I suspect Audiobook Builder since it changes the permissions and filetype to the iTunes Audiobook filetype but have not seen anyone reference this.

While the programming of course could be done, the idea of a function that performs on original unprocessed images seems to violate the whole idea of what Lightroom was designed to be. At least that's my opinion. Of course, the idea that Adobe should do this programming for a relatively small number of people (you're one of a very few people to ask for this, that I have read) seems to be something that isn't going to happen.
I agree, I can't see much reason for drag-and-drop to drag the unprocessed image - in other words, an image that isn't the one that you see when you drag and drop. I can see that just filling this forum with "why the heck does it do that????????" posts. I could be wrong, but I suspect that Adobe won't do that.
But if you do want to drag-and-drop the original unprocessed image, you can do it very easily now. Right click the image, choose "show in Explorer", and then drag-and-drop from Explorer.

I can't drag and drop from windows explorer into my ipod on itunes. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I manage my music/podcast library on my Vista PC using windows explorer because I don't like how iTunes does it. Then today I can no longer drag and drop from explorer onto my iPod in iTunes all I get is a circle with a line through it meaning "iTunes says no." Any suggestions?

You will need to Sync your iPad and all Music/Albums Selected will transfer over from iTunes..

Drag and Drop from LR to other applications

There was a thread going on D&D from LR to explorer.
The other appliation problem I have is the apparent inability to drag and drop from lightroom into a file transfer window (e.g., file upload with SmugMug).
The quick collection is an awesome way to organize a storyline of images from a shoot, select only the images needed, and prepare a shoot for upload. However, short of exporting to a folder first, is there a way to just drag and drop the file set from a LR view (filmstrip or thumbs) to another app? This would just be providing file handles, and I would be satisfied if it only grabbed the original images (pre-"develop").
Anyone have any luck with this?
-- Jeff

No. And not likely anytime soon. Putting a Pointer/alias to SmugMug (if it is an uploader client app, not familiar with it) in the Export Actions Folder for Post Processing from Export is the best you can do at the monemt. To get LR rdits out of LR you have to Export. D&D just isn't going to do that for you.

Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

Hi Pete,
You can obtain scripts here:

You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,

Can't drag and drop from page view

Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page. On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues. Its slow and cumbersome.

Hi Peterbruce,
Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
Best,
Sara
