Flex drag-n-drop upload from desktop

Is there a way to upload a file from the desktop by drag and
dropping the file a flex application running purely on the browser;
not using AIR. The examples that have seen from my research so far,
drag files/images which are already within the browser to another
location within the same browser.
I would be most grateful for quick anwer to my
question

Drag and drop from desktop to Flex App is neat, but I wonder
if this is possible:
<mx:TextInput ... />
<mx:Button label="Browse" click="openFileBrowser()" ...
/>

Drag and drop file from desktop screen to SD card in slot on macbook pro

Hi i am trying to put a file from my Macbook Pros desktop and drag over to my SD card which is inserted in the side of the mac, this is a firmware update for my digital camera which needs to go onto the SD card and inserted into the camera. I can start to drag the file but as soon as it nears the open folder of my sd card the cursor changes to like a greyed out no entry sign and will not drop, the card is fat-32 if that helps. Sandisk Extreme pro 32gb class 10.

The card reader is apparently stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC poster managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

I deleted i photo from search folder, reloaded the software and now I can not drag and drop to the desktop. Help

I deleted i photo from search folder, reloaded the software and now I can not drag and drop to the desktop. Help

Look in the Applications folder to see if iPhoto is still there. If it is drag it back to the Finder Sidebar. If it is no longer in the Applications folder post back, you can also look in the Trash it might still be there.

I reinstalled Lion and now I cannot drag and drop photos from the internet to my desktop

My Macbookpro was giving me a startup disk full message so I emptied out my photo library and itunes library to an external drive. By then I think the damage was done because I was still encountering the spinning color wheel all the time. On the advice of he Genius bar I reinstalled Lion. It worked well except for this one glitch. I can no longer drag and drop photos from the internet. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

Drag and Drop to native desktop

I'm working on drag and drop functionality to and from the user's computer. I have the "from" part working just fine, it's the "to" part that is stumping me. The idea for this applet is that it represents a file structure that is up on a remote server, so none of the files are local. If the user drags a file in, I can easily start an upload to push the file up to the server. However, when the user drags an item from the applet to their desktop or whatever folder, the only way to get this to work is to mimic a file, even though there is no file. What I would like to do is have a droptarget listener set up for the OS that will do everything I normally do within the applet (accept the drop, download the file, store it to the appropriate location). unfortunately, i haven't found any documentation on how this could be done. it looks like the OS wants a List of file objects that it simply copies to whatever destination you drag to. I don't see a way to capture where the file is being dropped, or how to maybe place a dummy file while the download is in progress and then replace the dummy file with the real file. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

i'm not sure i get the JavaScript references...
possibly i can re-phrase the problem in a much simpler fashion that could possibly solve my problems. In a drag-and-drop operation from a java application to the native OS, is there any way to know the context of where your transferable data is going? for instance, is there a way to know that the component i'm dragging is going to the Desktop versus "My Documents"?
If there is a way, I could do some back-door coding so the user appears to be instantly get the file, while in the background the file is actually downloading and will replace the 'dummy' file when the download completes.
Is that possible?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

I can't get Mozilla Drag and Drop Uploader to work. Suggestions for troubleshooting?

I have a recurring need to post 100's of photos from "My Pictures" to a web site. I currently click on "Browse", up pops the photo file, and I then must manually select the proper photos and double click them to move them to the web site.
A colleague who has the same recurring need has told me to download Firefox as my browser, then download and install the "Drag and Drop Uploader". By doing this, I should be able to simply highlight the proper photos from 'My Pictures" and drag them to the correct box on the web site.
I have seen him do this on his computer, so I know it is possible. I'm guessing the problem I am having lies in having downloaded incompatible versions.
Help?

Support for that extension is here: <br />

Drag and drop files from outside of DW into DW Files Window

When I was using Dreamweaver CS for Windows, I could drag and
drop files from my desktop directly into the Files Window of
Dreamweaver. But I can't do that in the Macintosh version. Am I
doing something wrong, or is it not supported?

No. This is not supported.
We cannot comment on upcoming versions.

Drag and drop utility from windows to SAP..

Hi SAP Gurus,
I need some piece of advices from you guys related to this. I am working a an IS Insurance solution of SAP. We have a real bottleneck in the project. The client is basically using a thrid party legacy system developed on .NET platform. They have the functionality where they just "drag and drop" the documents like excel sheet or word diocument or pdf file and store it with particular insurance policy number.
I am sure there might be some solution like that in SD , MM, PP module where they will be doing similar kind of stuff. Storing the documents related to purchase order or invoice.
Now I would like to know if there is any third party tool for dragging and dropping documents from windows desktop to SAP system like I explained above.
I would like to get some information on this ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.

If on SAP , then what ?
If on Application server , then what ?

I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
Thanks anyway.

Why cannot I drag and drop songs from one playlist to another?

Actually I have two questions. I just updated from Leopard to snow leopard. Now when I import songs, it says "Do you want to import to burn playlist?" I click "yes". Then when it is finished copying, I go to "playlists" on the top of the screen and click on the "burn playlist" and it says there are no items. Where did the songs go. I would like to burn a playlist that I imported this way. I haven't tried arranging songs in the order I want them yet, but now see that is an issue also. I also used to see a list of my playlists on the left side of the screen and the songs within each of those playlists when I clicked on them and easily could drag and drop songs from one playlist to another. How do I do the same functions that I used to do before I updated? Does this update make it impossible to do the same functions as before? Where can I find a "manual" of sorts to direct me to explain this new format? If there is no way to do these things, I will have to say that I want my old iTunes back. Can I do so??? Actually, the only reason I updated was so that I could play pix and movies from my camera into iPhoto. When I did so, it said I had to update other programs to get iPhoto to work. I am trying very hard not to be very frustrated. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After poking around for a while figured how to do things in this new iTunes. Not as intuitive as the old one. Sorry I don't have time to tell what I figured out. Maybe some other time.

HT2518 how do i or can i drag and drop files from one external drive to another ???HOW

how do i drag and drop files from one external drive to another, i cannt get both drives to open up. only one at a time.. i have alot to learn i know but that is where i am at the time...

You posted here so would assume you are also talking about running Windows.
Are the drives NTFS and use on Windows?
Are they Mac HFS formatted?
You likely will need NTFS for OS X in one case. to mount PC and use under Mac OS Lion
MacDrive to mount and WRITE to HFS drives under Windows

Really stupid that you can't drag and drop photos from Finder into Events

There is no way in iPhoto to do what I want and need to to, to wit, drag and drop photos from the Finder into existing iPhoto Events.
It really doesn't make sense that you can't do this. First of all, calling these groups Events to begin with is not smart; in my case, a group of photos in a folder on the Finder is rarely all from one photo session or so-called "event"--- instead of Events they should just be called Groups or something, and you should be able to drop individual photos into them. I have thousands of family photos that were accumulated on my hard drives over the years, some scanned in from film negatives, slides, or prints, others from digital cameras, and when I have changed Macs and hard drives over the years, every time a folder of photos was moved from an old hard drive to a new one, or regrouped into various folders, the photos seem to have acquired new dates of origin, etc.
Anyway, what I mean is, if Events are all time based, then somebody like me who has thousands of photos with all sorts of dates of origin, mostly unrelated to the date that the photo was actually shot, is screwed. I have old photos with new dates of origin and other mismatches between photos and the dates when they were actually shot or scanned.
My gripe is, again, that when I find photos on my hard drives that belong in certain iPhoto Events that have already been created, I cannot just drag these photos from the Finder and drop them into the Events they belong in. Instead, the stupid program creates a new Event from each photo I try to drop into an existing Event. That means I have to chase these new photos all over the place inside of iPhoto, trying to figure out where each new photo (now called an "Event") has ended up, so that I can drag and merge it into the Event I wanted it to go into in the first place. A real pain in the neck. It simply takes too long to do this for each photo added.
What this means is that iPhoto is not going to be a practical way to organize for a person like me until Apple makes it possible to simply drop any photo from the Finder into an existing Event. There should be an option to allow that. I'm really surprised there is not one. <edited out by Hosts>
Tom

Tom, iPhoto will not overwrite photos with the same name. I have plenty of photos with the same name in the same event. Each photo most likely has an internal handler that manages the photo, and not just the name of the file.
I agree with you that this is sub-optimal, and (IMO) I think what happened is iPhoto 6 had rolls, and they came up with a really cool interface for mousing over those rolls, and decided it was more consumer friendly (and because film is a thing of the past) to call them events, rather than rolls. I think it was worth a shot, but they just slightly missed.
Right now in iPhoto08, any serious organization is done in folders and albums. Personally, I think they need to combine the two concepts -- the great "mouse over" view of events with the organization abilities of folders and albums. I'd like an albums view where I can mouse over the albums. Actually, Aperture 2's interface for organization is more functional than iPhoto, so I am hoping some of that benefit creeps into the next iPhoto release.
What I do is: I use events for high level grouping (like Winter 2007) and I organize folders and albums to break that down further ("trip to Montreal" "Christmas" etc.). But I do it backwards. I fill albums first, then I organize events.
When I drag in pictures to iPhoto, first I make the target album in iPhoto that I want to populate, then I drag the photo directly to that album (not to events). iPhoto automatically puts the photo into the album I created and also into a new event. Later, I go into events, right-click on this new event to "open event in separate window" then I move around the events view, to drop in the pictures from the "import" event I just created. If I move all the pictures into other events, iPhoto automatically deletes the event I just emptied. You could skip the event organization all together if you wanted to, but you'd lose the cool mouse-over feature, which can be handy.
One nice thing about having events AND albums is you can have the photo just once in iPhoto, in an event, but then have the photo appear in as many albums as you want (as well as projects and web galleries) all while only having one photo on your hard drive. So, there are benefits to events, but I think iPhoto is missing just a couple little bits of organizational ability to make it perfect. (and yes, I've submitted this all to Apple as feature requests)
Just in case you don't know -- events don't have any hierarchy. That is, you can't nest events. But you can have folders with subfolders, and any folder can contain albums. Albums cannot have sub-albums, and folders don't hold photos. Only albums hold photos, and folders (or sub-folders) hold albums. Try create some folders and albums and you'll get the hang of it. One other issue that Apple needs to address. When you create a new folder or album, it doesn't put it right where you want it, but rather puts it at the bottom of the list, so you have to drag it up to where you want it. Try it out, and you'll see what I mean, then submit it as a feature request to improve that.
I agree it's not perfect, but it's not too bad once you get used to it. And the benefits of working with the rest of the features of iPhoto is worth it. I'm just really hoping they do a few tweaks on the next release. They are near greatness here. They could just use a little nudge on the last bits. (in my opinion of course. Others may disagree, but I've talked to enough people who have the same issues you are having to know we are not alone on this).

I can't drag and drop songs from library to playlists

Unable to drag and drop songs from library into playlists, however I can drop them above or below playlists. That is no help in editing playlists! Seems to be after last iTunes up date.
Tkank you

My mistake totally!!! I confused a new playlist folder with a new playlist.
Just wanted to pass that along.
