How do I drag and drop from LR to InDesign?

I read somewhere on a forum (maybe this one?) that you can drag and drop photos directly from LR to InDesign.
I have LR 4 and InDesign CS6. No matter what I try, I can't figure out how to drag and drop files from LR4 to InDesignCS6. I always get a "cannot" icon appear in LR.
I try to drag-n-drop PSD and JPG files from LR to inDesign.
Is it possible to do?
Thank you,

PS. I also tried drag-and-dropping to Photoshop, and it doesn't work either.
I did more research online, and the more I research this, the more it seems that the LIGHTROOM DRAG AND DROP functionality works on MAC but not on PC...
If it is the case, this would be a major annoyance.
Some people said this feature worked on PC in Windows Vista.
I tried running LR in compatibility more (Vista SP2), but this did not fix the issue.
I am starting to wonder if this is a problem with LR running on WINDOWS x64 systems... (I am running WIN7 x64)

How to I drag and drop from Customize Add On using a Wireless Mouse on a Laptop?

I have been assisting a friend in installing Firefox. I have added Add On, but I cannot drag and drop them into the toolbars on the top. The tiny weenie add on tool bar stinks for those of us who are older and have weakened eyesight. How Can I Drap and Drop into the Toolbars on the Top using a laptop without a mouse?

How do i Drag and drop From one tree to another and vise versa?

I have two tree structures and i'm trying to drag a leaf of a branch from one tree to another and vise versa. i'm using flex 3 to code it. I'm also trying to put a prevention on dropping a leaf of one tree from being dropped inside a branch of another tree. Anything that is dragged over to another tree should be placed as a dangling node in that tree. Please share this code and help me find a solution.

Yes, I have set dragEnabled and dropEnabled to true. I trying to put restriction on dropping the node(aka leaf) of 1st free tree inside the branch(aka folder) of the 2nd tree. If something is dragged from tree1, it should be dropped only on tree2 i.e., dragged node should be appended at the end of tree2 and not inside nay of the branches of tree2. This functionality should work on both the trees. I'll be glad if u can provide the solution.

Drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox

how do i drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox?/...any example..
use LABVIEW 8.2.1
regard's
eyal.

To drag and drop within the target listbox you'll have to add a Drag Starting? event for the target listbox and register that drag data with a different adn unique Drag Data Name, then in the Drag Enter? event check for that data name as well before accepting the event, and then in the Drop? event for the target listbox handle the new data name as well. You can use the Point to Row Column invoke method to determine which row, column, or cell is being manipulated. I've created a VERY crude example of this, but you'll have to get more creative with how you handle the moving of rows, columns, etc. for the target listbox, but I think it gives the general idea. Hope this helps!

Mackbook can't drag and drop after working in indesign CC for a while.

This has been going on for a while. I am working in Indesign then all of the sudden all my drag and drop cappabilities are gone. i have to restart my computer to fix the problem and being that the start up times for the cc software is outragous, this sucks for my workflow. I have seen Adobe techs say that there isn't a difference in the backend between 6 and cc for the whole suite but seeing is believing and I don't make things up.

hi Dustin, maybe with a bit more info someone will be able to help with this:
what Mac OS System version are you using?
what is it you are 'dragging and dropping'? : Is this drag and drop of text in InDesign? Or are you dragging and dropping from the Mac OS (e.g. a file from a folder) into InDesign?
If you are referring to drag and drop from OS into InDesign: I'm thinking this 'might' be a Mac OSX issue. If you look over at https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa there seem to be plenty of issues with drag and drop across different OS versions.
Next time it stops working whilst you are in InDesign, does it still work in other programs? That is one way of determining if this is caused by InDesign or the operating system. If it is the OS, my guess is that it stops working in other applicaitons as well.
Hope this helps,

How can we restrict the type of components that can be dragged and dropped from the sidekick CQ

how can we restrict the type of components that can be dragged and dropped from the sidekick CQ

Generally drop the components at parasys. The components allowed on the parsys is control via the design mode of the page.So restrict components at the design of the parsys. http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/working_with_cq_wcm/using_edit_designandpreviewm odes.html#Design%20Mode

First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.

How to drag and drop from shared library to iphone/ipad?

Since our Mac Pro has more storage, that's where I keep our iTunes videos, to avoid taking up space on my wife's laptop. Sharing the libraries works ok, except for one issue.
When my wife wants to put movies onto her iPhone or iPad, iTunes won't let her drag and drop them directly from the shared library. She can copy them just fine to her local library and from there to the devices, but that is cumbersome and takes up disk space.
Please don't tell me it isn't possible because we did have it working for some time, I just don't know what's changed. The devices are set to "manually manage", drag and drop works locally, just not from the share.
Thanks!

Take a look at this tutorial: [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html]How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.
If you read it carefully and study the samples, I think you should get rid of your first question.
Concerning the second question, you can overwrite the isCellEditable(int row, int column) method to return false. This will block any editing from the table.
Hope this helped,
Regards.

I have multiple libraries how can I drag and drop songs from either

I have 3 PCs that are all authorized to play my music. I have different music on different machines that I have downloaded from various places and or ripped from my own cds. I can from my home PC drag and drop music and movies to my iPhone. But on my work PC say if I download a new Album (not from itunes) and it is in my library, I want to be able to just drag it onto my iPhone so that I can listen to it at the gym. When I do I see a small red circle with the red slash through it and i cant copy it. I am tired of synching and want to be able to drag and drop from any of my PCs.. is this possible?

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

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:

How do I drag and drop an action onto a task flow?

In How to pass View Object bind variable from ADF page John states that
You should also consider dragging-and-dropping the executeWithParams operation on your task flow and wiring it to occur before your page instead of putting it in the page definition of the page itself - this way it is more clear what is happening, and is the recommended approach for 11g apps. When you drag-and-drop the operation, you can use the dialog to bind the parameter to your page-flow-scoped variable by supplying the proper EL there.
How can I drag and drop the executeWithParams method onto a task flow. I am using 11.1.1.5.0 on LINUX?
I'm presuming I a need a method action in my page flow.
I have the following action defined in my page def file:
<action IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
id="executeQueryWithParamsForLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
InstanceName="BusinessRulesAMDataControl.LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
Action="executeWithParams">
<NamedData NDName="RootEntityId"
NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.customerEntityId"
NDType="java.lang.Long" NDOption="3"/>
<NamedData NDName="Language"
NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.language}"
NDType="java.lang.String" NDOption="3"/>
</action>

In summary, it appears you need the following artifacts in order to initialize a view object from parameters before rendering a .jsff view that relies on that view
1) a method-call in task flow.xml file:
<method-call id="executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView">
<method id="__5">#{bindings.executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView.execute}</method>
<outcome id="__12">
<fixed-outcome id="__9">initializedLocalizedCustomerHierarchy</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
2) a control flow rule in the task flow .xml file whose source is (1) and whose destination is the view for which you want to intiialize a view object that supports an iterator that is bound to a list, tree, etc.
3) an entry for the execute action in the databindings.cpx file
<page path="/WEB-INF/[email protected]calizedCustomerHierarchyView"
usageId="oracle_apps_br_view_RecommendationRulePFPageDef"/>
4) the page def must be defined in the databindings.cpx file
5) the page def needs to define action and iterator and list (or otherwise) that is used in UI.
<iterator id="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
Binds="LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RangeSize="25" Refresh="never">
<sortCriteria>
<sort attribute="Level" ascending="true"/>
</sortCriteria>
</iterator>
<action IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
id="executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
InstanceName="BusinessRulesAMDataControl.LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
Action="executeWithParams">
<NamedData NDName="RootEntityId"
NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.customerEntityId}"
NDType="java.lang.Long"/>
<NamedData NDName="Language"
NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.language}"
NDType="java.lang.String"/>
</action>
<list ListOperMode="navigation"
IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
id="customerLocalizedEntityHierarchyList">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="EntityName"/>
</AttrNames>
</list>
6) a backing bean that provides the functions to initialize the parameters for execution
The easiest way to get most of this is to drag the ExecuteWithParams from within the view in the datacontrols panel right onto the task flow diagram. The downside is that you are left with some pretty poorly named artifacts...
Did I miss anything?

Drag and drop from remoter server

Drag and drop from remoter server I get this<img src="../My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/4coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc="http://www.jonsered.ws" /> what I want is this <img src="http://www.jonsered.ws/coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc= />
the first one does not work on the web
How is this done?

When you click on a file (drag & drop) in Remote Server panel, DW GETS the file and places it in your Local Site folder.
Your local site is defined in DW as ./My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/. Hence the path name change.
Make sense?

How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group?

How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group? In Tidal Help, it says-
In the Jobs pane, press and hold the Ctrl key and at the same time right-click and either individually select individual jobs within a job group or drag your mouse cursor over a block of jobs that you wish to select. You can only move multiple jobs between job groups if the jobs being moved are on the same level.
Keeping the right mouse button depressed, drag the cursor to the job group that you wish to move the jobs to and release the mouse button.
When moving jobs from one job group to another, you must decide if the moved jobs keep their original job group attributes or assume the calendar and agent characteristics of its new job group.
A confirmation dialog, offers three inheritance options for the jobs moved to the "new" job group parent. Select one of the following options:
However, when I attempt to follow those instructions, it doesn't work at all and there is no indication that it's even trying (i.e., I don't see the selected job following my cursor at all and all I get is the normal menu when you right click anywhere on the screen.)
Is there another way to do this or is there a master setting that needs to be changed so that ability is enabled?
Thanks.

Go into edit mode for the job group group and just manually edit the section for Parent job/Group.
Cheers
