File Drag and Drop in Portfolio

Is there any way to enable scrolling when dragging and dropping files into a folder that was created inside a Portfolio in the List View? When converting multiple files from folders, users want to maintain the organization of the files in the same folder hierarchy within a Porfolio. If dozens of files are converted, you cannot select a few files and drag them into a folder that is not in the view. Converting the folders individually is inefficient.

File drag and drop with Labview 7 and Mac OS X Tiger?

Hi folks,
I've lost the ability to drag and drop files into front panel file path
controls, since I upgraded to a new OS X version. Specifically:
What used to work:
    - Labview 7.0
    - Mac OS X 10.3.x
    - drag file icon from desktop and drop onto file path control (file path control shows path to dropped file)
New action taken:
    - lost old Mac (Titanium) with OS X 10.3.x
    - bought new Mac (Aluminum) with OS X 10.4
    - installed OS X 10.4 "over" 10.3 disk (did not build from scratch)
What happens now (three days after birth of new system):
    - all my past Labview apps still seem to run
    - but, if I drag a file from the desktop and drop it onto the file path control I see:
          - file path control
"outlines" indicating that it understands the intended drag and drop
action
          - when the file is dropped the file path control does not report the new value
          - And the file path control still has it's old value
Anyone else seeing this? Am I missing something obvious (Labview or OS X preferences)?
Thanks in advance,
RMP

Hello,
I don't know how seriously Apple sees the problem, but it doesn't seem plausible that they would rev the OS on account of just this problem with LabVIEW, particularly since we worked around it for the latest version of LabVIEW. I understand you are working with another engineer at NI via direct email regarding this issue, and that is going to be a better forum for discussing the possibility of obtaining the Apple bug report number. In the event R&D is willing to reveal it, I presume they will be more comfortable doing so on a case by case basis, as opposed to posting it on the external discussion forum.
Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience you have encountered due to this issue.

File drag and drop from java app to file system - Linux problem

Hi all,
I am developing an application for files archiving, with a graphical user interface. The files are showed in a JList, and I implemented drag and drop feature for it. It works well for Windows platform, but not at all for Linux (Ubuntu).
Under Linux, file export with DND from the archive to file system does not work.
To extract a file with DND, we can't know the target destination folder, so I create a temp file (file extracted from the archive is wrote to OS tmp dir), and the system is expected to handle the DND action.
The temp file is correctly created (original data is well retrieved), but Ubuntu does not want to copy or move it via DND.
I get a system dialog window (while extracting file "test1") :
Error while moving
There was an error getting information about "[tmp/60lp1t7egl/test1]".
Show more details > Operation not supported
(Cancel, Skip all, Skip, Retry)
Can it be a rights problem ?
Any idea ?

Until the 3rd party image editor developers provide us with the Photos extensions for using their app from within Photo we'll have to export to the Desktop, edit there in the apps and either import the new file into Photos or use it elsewhere.

Folder/file drag and drop function not working

Just today, I can no longer drag and drop files on to my desktop or place them into the trash. I am using OS 10.7.5.
Thanks for any suggestions!

The way I see it, there are two ways to proceed:
a) asume your Mac is fundamentally messed up:
Restart and hold Command-R to invoke recovery mode.
Choose Disk Utility.
Select your Boot drive and ( Repair Disk ).
b) debug the raw symptoms:
How are you attempting to do this?
what happens when you try this, and how does it fall short of your expectations?

Native file drag and drop

I was wondering if anyone has an example piece of code where a file is dragged from windows explorer onto a java app where the file is then used inside java? The documentation says it's possible but I don't see how at this point.
thanks

Gnome-shell and xfburn - drag-and-drop no longer supported

Can someone using gnome-shell else try this as a sanity check: try to drag-and-drop an mp3 file into xfburn in "Audio CD" mode. For me, mp3 files are ignored but wav files drag-and-drop in just fine. I can add mp3 files to the compilation but only if I do so through the xfburn GUI.

I get the same behavior here.

An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OS is Windows 7.

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Visual Studio opening files when dragged and dropped in WPF app debugging session

I'm working on a WPF app (using VS2013 CE) which is intended to manage media files (TV Shows, movies, etc) and as part of this I am enabling the user to drag and drop media files on to the running app (by adding AllowDrop="True" and PreviewDragEnter="Window_PreviewDragEnter"
to my Window definition).
The problem I have is that when I drag files onto the app in a debugging session Visual Studio then opens the file(s) when I stop debugging... this is seriously annoying as when I am testing with large media files (> 1GB) it just locks up VS for minutes
at a time while it tries to open the file or files. When I run the app outside the debugger this does not happen - it's only when I'm in a VS debugging session. The only way I can stop this happening is to kill VS completely from Task Manager then restart
it - this is also very annoying but often I need to do this as it will freeze up for 5-10 minutes while it insists on loading the files in VS.
I understand the app, whilst debugging, is running in the context of VS but why does VS then have to try to open the files when debugging is finished? I have looked through the options but can't see anything to switch this off and no amount of searching
has turned up anything - can anyone put me out of my misery with a solution to this annoying issue?

Hello nzmike,
Does Visual Studio behaves like the following image shows and just hangs when opening your media file?
Do you have any other computer which installs Visual Studio? Can you reproduce this on it?
In order to troubleshoot this issue I think we need to locate the root reason of your issue. The problem can related to the following:
1. Your project is corrupt and VS then trys to load that file when debug finished.
2. Your VS is corrupt and caused this problem.
So please do something below:
1. Try clean and rebuild your project.
2. Switch to some other PCs and use VS and your project there, check if the problem can be reproduced.
3. You can backup your VS setting and try some commands: devenv /resetsettings and devenv /resetuserdata
Details about VS command:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
And based on th research of the above second step, if you can reproduce this issue on more than one PC, the problem is pending on your project and I need you to share a simple sample which can reproduce this issue. We will need to investigate the project
in detail.
Best regards,
Barry

How do I drag and drop multiple files on a control?

LabVIEW supports dragging and dropping a single file on a path control, and have the path control populated appropriately. I want a user to be able to highlight multiple files (say, from the OS Find File window, or anywhere really) and drop them into a path array control in LabVIEW. I was hoping putting a path control in an array would do the trick, but it didn't. The mouse cursor changes to the "+" icon as it did for a single file, but when I release the button the system just beeps. Is this even doable?
Thanks, Bob Martin

I guess I was hoping that the path control would realize it was in an array, and starting with the actual control where the drop occurred (if more than one item of the array is visible) start populating subsequent slots with the other file paths.
I'm not sure how much work would be involved, but maybe I could make a control in VB that would accept the drop event and output the path array I'm looking for. I've never made a control in VB for LabVIEW before, so I'm leary of how much time that would take. I'll add this to my list of "things to do that never seem to get enough priority to do."

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

Unable to upload a file with Drag and Drop and http

Hello,
I am trying to upload a file through the web interface (Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.0). When I click un upload, Via Drag and Drop, a new window is started, but never completes.
With Netscape, I get a message box: Netscape is unable to locate the server null. Please check the server name and try again.
With IE 5, I get an error: This page can not be displayed.
Are there any files I need to edit on the PC side to get this to work?
Thanks

Illustrator Default PDF, if open in Acro Pro, drag and drop other .ai files, will they also....

Hi! I'm trying to archive (for myself and others for easy access) about 50 fairly complex .ai files in a single Illustrator Default PDF and maintain editability and preserve layer and grouping integrity for every separate file, and, i'm probably going to have to do this hundreds of times (at least!) in the future. Once i save the initial first pdf file through Illustrator (wish didn't even have to do this, but seems no way to do in Bridge), then open the resulting pdf w Acrobat Pro, can i then just select an entire folder's worth of ai files in Bridge, drag and drop them into the pages panel and still have the dragged and dropped files also preserve all their AI info and layer/ group integrity? An if not, thinking if not based on 20 similar experiments, what's a fast way to do this. Doing this manually each time: opening each file in AI then saving as AI pdf, then combining and arranging them all after the fact, would be, well, fairly effed in terms of time, carpal tunnel, arthritis etc. Experimented w Bridge PDF Output batching (terrible rasterized lo-res results, but great for its intended purpose) and just dragging and dropping into Acrobat (lose complicated layer names and info, all flattened to single layer). Any help most appreciated, and as i do not have regular access to das interwebs (i live on a boat) would appreciate and heed gentle admonishment if i've misposted or broached any community etiquette here. I've researched this as well as i can but can't find anything efficient/ elegant not involving InDesign, and even then the details are skimpy. Thank You! Getting mentally exhausted and not a little loopy. Keep in mind had to teach myself both Illustrator, Acrobat etc with access to the very limited offline help menus (the boat), so a complex answer involving learning InDesign would be learning curve can't even imagine with everything else struggling to do. But if you're willing to babystep diagram it out for me or can find me a link that does i will not only be eternally grateful but will do my durndest to master it and pass it on....Thanks Again! lil mc szpf
PS If it helps I'm running the diligent dogged dusty beloved workhorse CS4 Design Premium on 27" monitor 2010 Mac (OS X 10.6.8), and took advantage of rare housesitting net access to install all most recent updates of everything, i'm barely competent w AI, PS, BR and been tackling Acrobat for past couple of months now....

im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.
