File renaming with drag & drop import

I want to import images on disk by dragging to projects to avoid the painfully slow import dialog animation, but I also want to rename masters on import. Is there a way to do this?

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Import swf file with drag & drop action

Hello!
I created a flash animation with drag & drop.
I imported the swf into Captivate 3, but when I publish the
project, the animation don't work.
Can you suggest me some workaround to understand the problem?
Best regards

Hi kpurple and welcome to our community
When you published the project, did you ensure to copy all
the associated files? Normally the added .SWF files exist as
external files that need to exist in the same folder as your
Captivate files.
Cheers... Rick

Strange problem with drag&drop!!

hello i hope u can help me.
i have a strange problem but not like the other users with drag&drop in Leopard..
mine is not exactly like this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198982&tstart=3538
i can hold left click and move files but when i need to "drop" them at the .app's window the app rejects the file back! (some of the applications not all!)
what i mean in examples is:
i cannot drag&drop anything in the VLC's player window but i can inside the vlc's "controller" window
i cannot drag&drop a picture in preview
i cannot drag&drop any file in photoshop's new file/empty canvas
i cannot drag&drop a mp3 file in itunes but i can drag&drop a full album folder(only in playlist,not in the player window)!
and i can describe more to show u that it's not about vlc or preview or PS problem, but finder's/leopard problem.
(i thought in the 1st, that it's vlc's problem and i downloaded a lot of versions!)
all the other programs works well, for example i can drag&drop a video to final cut or motion
i can do the same in iMovie (at the space it says"drag&drop media here etc)
and of course i can drag&drop files to desctop,hard disks etc.
i can copy/paste text etc (i can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste texti can copy/paste text)
i am trying to give you an idea, suggest me what else should i try in order to focus where exactly the problem is!
i hope u give me a solution cause drag&drop is usefull!
thank you
in order to help u, i will describe what i tried so far:
1)repair permissions
2)trash com.apple.finder
3)terminal solution like this: (didn't worked)
sudo su -
cd /
rmdir tmp +*(rmdir: tmp: No such file or directory)*+
ln -s tmp /private/tmp

hello and thanks for your reply
but why you quote only the part of VLC?
One thing at a time. Occam's razor.
and why u believe this is normal?
i am sure that VLC can drag & drop subtitles or the movie in the player window.
and when i say sure, i mean 100%
I disagree. I have tried this since reading your post, on all my VLC versions. It does not work.
You can, however drop a movie onto the VLC icon in the dock. That works fine.
RealPlayer accepts a file dropped on it. I just checked it.
Not all apps accept a file on their output window. Usually only the input window.
i started my windows bootcamp partition before and i saw this works.
and i remember trying VLC in tiger a lot of years before, this was ok.
and yes of course it would be also normal to drop a picture in the photoshop canvas.
so what is not normal here is my problem, if u can help i'm happy if you cannot please don't confuse it more
(sorry if i sound "unclear", english is not my 1st languange)
I will check VLC next time I run Tiger and let you know.

Drag/drop import - how to make it always work?

HI
Sometimes drag and drop import will work
(Finder to Project pane, all OSX)
Sometimes it doesn't, as in sometimes the green plus sign appears, sometimes it doesnee
This irregularity seems to be when visually dragging and dropping, but also when App switching with Apple Tab, which works less often.
Is there any logic behind this?
Is there a way to make it always work?

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

Hi Michael,
Thank you for clarifying the issue for us.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

.avi files and subtitle drag&drop

Is there any video player that can play .avi files and also support drag&drop subtitles? I tried Perian with Quick time and now it plays .avi files perfectly. However still can't drag the subtitles to Quicktime screen. Also I tried Miro and VLC Player. They both lack of 'drag&drop subtitle' function.
I'm new to mac, only 3 days. Maybe there is a trick to do that drag&drop thing. Any help?

use Mplayer from appstore and its free..:)

Issue with Drag/Drop of multiple rows from ListView

I am working on a sample application with 2 list views i.e. players and team, and implement drop and drop such that players can be dropped from one list view to the other. Everything is working as expected when there is single selection model is enabled on the source list view. However, if I enabled Multiple selection model and drag 2 or more rows from source list view to target list view, seeing the following exception after the drop is completed.
Exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only serializable objects or ByteBuffer can be used as data with data format [subListPlayers]
at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumClipboard.putContent(QuantumClipboard.java:513)
at javafx.scene.input.Clipboard.setContent(Clipboard.java:230)
1) What should be the DataFormat used in order to be able to drag and drop multiple rows? Looks like we do not have for Object type, so I have created the following one which does not solve the problem.
   private DataFormat dataFormat = new DataFormat("subListPlayers");
2) I have made changes to support serialization on the data object which also does not seem to solve the issue. Tried by implementing Serializable interface as well as by implementing Externalize interface.
Can someone please guide if there is an easy way to implement this behavior?
Code:
public class Player
   private String name;
   public Player(String name)
      this.name = name;
   public String getName()

Yeah, this is a pain. I filed https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082 a while back. Go ahead and vote for it if you are inclined...
I think the issue in your case is that the observable list provided by MultipleSelectionModel.getSelectedItems() is not Serializable. So even if you make your Player class Serializable, the list itself isn't. The first thing I would try, I think, is to make Player implement Serializable and then pass in an ArrayList instead of the observable list. So you can do
content.put(dataFormat, new ArrayList<Player>(playersListView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItems()));
and
List<Player> player = (List<Player>) dragEvent.getDragboard().getContent(dataFormat);
teamListView.getItems().addAll(player);
If that doesn't work, a workaround is just to store the "dragged list" in a property:
final ListProperty<Player> draggedPlayers = new SimpleListProperty<Player>();
// Drag detected handler:
content.putString("players");
draggedPlayers.set(playersListView.getSelectionMode().getSelectedItems());
// Drag dropped handler:
if (dragboard.hasString() && dragboard.getString().equals("players")) {
     teamListView.getItems().addAll(draggedPlayers.get());
     draggedPlayers.set(null);

Best approach to work with drag & drop functionality

I m new to java technology & want to implement drag & drop functionality with java web application.so, Please suggest me the best way or best framework or any api to implement drag & drop functionality with java web application.

In that case, you're most likely looking for a JavaScript solution. In spite of the similar name, JavaScript has nothing to do with Java.
You may want to Google for "javascript drag and drop".

Add file contents using drag drop method

I want to add file contents to a text view by drag drop method. How i can do that in cocoa using objective c? Can anybody help me. I am using following code in my appCotroller file to do the same but can't get the desired out put. Insted of getting file contents, i m getting the file URL (Path) in the text view.

As you said i have to open that file in my performDragOperation function, I want to know where to write this function. bcoz i have written this function in my appCotroller class but that code does'n get executed. Can you help me on this.
It is very hard to debug code I haven't seen. If you are getting the URL in your text view, you must be handling the drag operation correctly. Instead of putting the pasteboard data into the text view, get the file's contents and put that into the text view.
Also can you give me a sample code on how to open files in coccoa, how to read the contents of that file?
Look at NSString's "stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:"

File rename with counting from 0 instead of 1

I have Aperture, the latest update installed.
I need to rename small series of pictures to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg, XXXXXXXX_01.jpg and so on. (I copy/paste the XXXXXXXX from a list of productcodes in Numbers)
The only solution so far is to rename the first to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg with the 00 as custom text and to rename the following 6 or so to XXXXXXXX_01.jpg,...,XXXXXXXX_06.jpg
Does anyone have a clue how to do this at one go and set the file renaming to Customname_Counter00. Aperture only lets you use Counter01 :-(
Any help is appreciated
Eric

This should work for you (here's hoping the screen shot shows)
The counter is set to start at 0, number of digits is set to 3. This is what you get
even though the example in the preset window shows the number as 1 when it runs with the # of digts set to 3 it will pad it out to 000
Here is waht it looks like in the Batch Change window

E-mail address "overlay" with "drag & drop"

The following errors occurs doing a "drag & drop" from the Address Book or using the "Contacts Sidebar". Unless you "drop" at the end of the line, sometimes it "drops" exactly where the cursor was (because sometimes I see a red cursor and sometimes I don't so have no idea of exactly where it will place it) "overlaying" the e-mail addresses on the line (but sometimes, it put each one of the e-mail addresses on a new line). Either append them to the end of the line or on separate new lines or don't allow the "drop" but please don't "overlay" ("insert" between) whatever is already there!
Also, when I tested "dropping" multiple e-mail addresses from the Address Book, a comma was NOT inserted between the multiple e-mail addresses thus making the entire line of e-mail addresses "invalid". And, it suffers from the identical "overlay" problem described above.
If you have any difficulty understanding the problem, I will gladly provide you anything you need. Just ask.

It appears that the add buttons always copies each E-mail address to a new line so it does not suffer from the lack of comma separators or "overlaying" existing E-mail addresses.
However, that doesn't eliminate the two defects unless Thunderbird disables the "drag & drop" of E-mail addresses which are popular on other E-mail clients. In fact, that is how I noticed the problem: assisting someone with migrating to Thunderbird from another obsolete E-mail client. He is extremely reluctant to giveup his old way of doing things which was "drag & drop" from the Address Book but I am trying to get him to change.

Custom component with drag&drop ?

Hello everyone, I'm new to CQ5.
I'm trying to develop a custom component that allows me to use drag & drop to drag an image from DAM to my component instead of having to insert the image in the component code. How can I do?
Thank you!

Content finder(cf) will list all the assets in dam. Look at OOB image component to get an idea where in you can drag & drop assets from image (cf) into component.
What different you are looking in custom component?
Thanks,
Sham
