How do I drag filenames selectively?

I am into a project where I will be dragging hundreds of jpeg filenames into an html document.
When I drag them now, they come with full path statement, i.e. /Users/username/Pictures/........
This is no good for html. Is there some way to set up so dragging the filename will not include the above three mentioned path statements?
Or any other way to do this?

choose photo - click to highlight - drag to position - release. done!
no need to choose any function or command.

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

How Do I Drag Select Multiple Comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Sara,
Yes, command+click will work to select multiple comments. However, I'm working with some PDFs that have a substantial number of comments and this is taking quite some time to select them all. Additionally, it is tricky to click some of them, and if I mis-click, all the selection work is undone and everything becomes deselected. I'd like to know if there is a simpler way to select many multiple comments, such as a simple drag selection in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

Hmm, I haven't heard of that before. It's a new tab page with no relation to what you were dragging?
I wonder whether this might be a feature of one of your extensions. You can review them, and disable/remove any that are nonessential or unrecognized, here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you disable extensions, usually a link will appear above at least one of them to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
If that makes no difference, you could test in Firefox's Safe Mode -- that's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips to my project?

In Imovie '11, how can I drag more than one set of video clips into my project. I know how to highlight in yellow and drag the set, but can I drag a group of sets? Thanks

To select multiple clips, hold down the command key as you click multiple clips. Then you can drag them all at once.
To drag all clips at once, select one, then Edit/Select All. Then drag them all.

How do I drag files in Finder to a different folder?

How do I drag files in Finder to a different folder?

First, open one Finder window, and then, open another one pressing Command and N keys.
On one window, go to the folder where the files are, and on the other one, go to the folder where you want to put your files. Choose them with the Command key (or select all if you want to transfer all of them, with Command and A keys) and drag them to the other Finder window

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

Assuming you are using iPhoto....
You want to select the event that has the photo in it then click once on the photo so it is highlighted with a yellow ring around it and then click and drag it to the desktop.
If you are finding it difficult to move the file that way you can select the picture in iPhoto and select
File > Export (Command + Shift + E) and select how you want to export it (format) and where you want to put it .
Hopefully this helps you.

How can I see the selected tags in the tag bar clearly

How can I see the selected tags in the tag bar clearly (they used to be in black, now they do not change color; a highlight or Bold would help)

The History menu lets you revisit the page where you can drag any page element from it.
How would you sort through thousands (tens of thousands) of files found in a cache?

How does one drag a song to a new album?

How does one drag a song from one album and drop it into another album?
Many of the mp3 files that I use are ones that I create myself for my students. It would be great if I could drag them into the correct album without having to type in the information (very tedious).
I am new to Mac from Windows and I can't discern how to accomplish re-assigning albums in the manner that I was able to previously using Windows Media Player.
Any suggestions or perhaps different workflow suggestions?

I'm a high school music teacher and a lot of the tracks are student-created (or instructor-created). It has always been easier for me to leave the mp3 tag "unknown" and then drag them to the appropriate album in Windows Media Player.
I actually took something from your reply that I think will work well. By adding newly created files to a playlist, I could select them and then edit the tag data every few days by selecting all of the items in the playlist (I think that will work!).

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

I cannot tap and drag to select text in Word

All of sudden, I cannot tap and drag to select text I want to move or edit in Word. Not sure what I did to make it stop working. Please advise....

"aimbdd" - Thanks very much for your feedback.... That feature you have verified simply disappears with the "new" Multi-touch Trackpad which was first introduced with the early-2008 MacBook Pro, and, which was also carried over from the iPhone...
The alternative is that you employ the "Mouse Button" or, in this case, the "Track Pad Button" to restore the feature...
"Will K." - So, the late-2008 MacBook Pro DOES have a button, which you need to "click".
When you say "Hold" you mean that you need to hold down that "button" ...
Now, if I understand it correctly, the top surface of the button IS the track pad. That's rather odd!!!
What happens if you release the button? Or, do you HAVE to hold the button down some how while you take the cursor to the end of your selection? If so, what would you hold it down with if the top surface of the button is the touch sensitive track pad????
In my opinion, the track pad BUTTON is redundant when you select the various tapping options for the track pad from the preferences, which was also possible on the Powerbook G4 ....
So, with the new MacBook Pro, which way are we going, forward or backward?

CS4 - how do you drag adj. layers to other images?

I used to drag adjustment layers between opened image files in CS1. Recently I upgraded to CS4.
Using CS4, even if you open several images at one time, only one of those images is visible on screen at a time.
With only one image visible, how do you drag adjustment layers to other images that are "opened" but not visible on screen?

The application frame isn't the ultimate cause of or solution to this problem. It's the tabbed documents that make the difference, because if you have the tabbed document preference turned on, they'll open as tabs even if the application frame is turned off.
There are a couple of more direct solutions.
If you like tabbed documents, you can still drag one layer to another but you have to use the Move tool. Select the adjustment layer, grab the Move tool, and drag from the document to the tab of the destination window. The destination tab will light up, letting you know you can now drop the layer in the other document.
Or, if you don't like the tabbed documents and want to see them all, split the documents apart. You can drag the tabs out of each other so that the windows float. Or, if you have the application frame on, it's a lot faster to just click the Arrange Documents button in the Application Bar and choose one of the n-up display options to get a nice tiled display. The tiled display is a lot easier to manage than several floating documents.
In any case, you can do all this while leaving the Application Frame on.

'select objects: click and drag to select several objects' doesn't work

I have recently upgraded to Office 2010, and have the same problem as
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/75270638-e02b-4a78-b291-043abbca04ae?prof=required
When I use Select - Select Objects in the Editing part of the ribbon to select multiple drawing shapes, it no longer works like in office 2007. I can't drag a rectangle in the document to select objects within an area.
I would have guessed this is the same problem as the link I refer to, but I'm not running the beta version of 2010. It seems not to be solved.
Anything I can do to fix this?

I have just registered so I could reply to this thread.
The registration process was very ... aehm ... frustrating, I was only able to fill in the correct Captcha after about 10 ties. But ... this is not unexpected, when working with a Microsfoft product. How am I supposed to know whether that bloody captcha
wants me to to write '4Yp8' or '4yP8'. There is no way to tell. You can distinguish capital letters when it is something like A, a or H, h, but not between y and Y or P and p.
I would like to thank all the posters for suggested workarounds. They work. Kinda - sorta ... . I was able to finish the editing of large picture (consisting of many graphics objects) that HAS to be made in word (My boss said so). All your tips saved
me *hours* of frustration.
I would like to tell Microsoft programmers AND their managers, that *if* the quote in the second post is correct:
================
The work needed to make the object selection work as it did in Word 2007 was out of scope for this release. It's not as
simple as using the same feature that existed in the last version since we upgrading our graphics/art features; the way the shapes/objects need to be selected is different than how "old" graphics/art is selectable in Word 2007.
That said, the "select object" tool that exists in Word 2010 should allow you to select individual shapes. You can select
multiple shapes holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking shapes. You might ask how this is different than selecting shapes without turning on "select objects"; the answer to that would be to allow you to select shapes that are "behind" text, or more
easily select rotated shapes, etc.
================
You are bunch of incompetent amateurs.
If I used such lame excuse for missing important functionality at work, I would be very soon replaced by a more competent programmer.
This time I am not a programmer, I am AN USER. And, as an user I do not care if your internal data structure for new objects doesn't let you do something easily. Find a way to implement that feature or change the data structure. Period.
