How to auto close finder window after drag and drop?

In Tiger, I would file away items on my desktop my dragging them to the hard drive and then digging down to the appropriate folder. The finder window would then close automatically after dropping the file. Is there a setting in Snow Leopard that will enable similar functionality? Whenever I complete a drag and drop now the finder window just stays open, which isn't a huge issue, but I'd still like to change it. Thanks!

Here is the test code:
     lo_nd_table_data_source = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_table_data_source ).
      lo_nd_table_data_source->get_static_attributes_table( IMPORTING table = lt_table_data_source ).
      "Read Dummy Table
      lo_nd_table_data_source->get_static_attributes_table( IMPORTING table = it_table_data_source ).
    CONCATENATE ls_airline_info-carrid ls_airline_info-connid ls_airline_info-fldate INTO ls_table_data_source-row_key.
      ls_table_data_source-parent_row_key = ls_airline_info-carrid.
      ls_table_data_source-is_leaf   = abap_false.
      ls_table_data_source-expanded = abap_true.
        SELECT * FROM sflight INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_table_data_source.
     LOOP AT it_table_data_source INTO wa_table_data_source WHERE carrid = ls_airline_info-carrid
                                                            and   connid = ls_airline_info-connid
                                                            and   fldate = ls_airline_info-fldate.

How to auto close popup window of UWL?

Hi everyone! I have developed a web dynpro abap application that is being launched by the UWL in a new window. How do I close the window after the web dynpro application is done processing? I cannot use exit-plugs as these don't work in the portal. If I use the portal navigation classes(absolute and relative) these ask for a target address but what I want is to close the window. Has anyone done this before? Thanks! Generous points will be awarded!

If you are ready to open your webdynpro application inside the UWL itself (instead of opening as a pop up) you can try the following. In such a case you can set a re-direction page which points out to the URL of your UWL on the required action (say "Approve" or "Reject"). Hence when you perform the required action your UWL screen will be re-displayed once again.
If you want only pop up from UWL then you may try posting it in Web Dynpro ABAP.
Thanks,

How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
this motion tween covers the whole time line ( there is only 50 frames in the time line)
i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
every thing till now working well
i want to make that MC dragabble
so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
and when i drop it i will use play()
but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
his motion tween movement when i drop it
for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
here is the example wich i am worikng on

How to move javafx stage by mouseevent drag and drop

Hi there,
Do you know how to move stage by mouse event drag and drop event.
My Idea is to create a stage without title header but the user can move it by click the body of the stage and hold it and release it into some where new place by mouse event.
Any body....?
Thanks before

I solved the porblem by using this point code:
onMousePressed: function(e) {
X = e.screenX - stage.x;
Y = e.screenY - stage.y;
onMouseDragged: function(e) {
stage.x = e.screenX - X;
stage.y = e.screenY - Y;
The code can be implemented on every node.

ITunes 11.0.4 still copying files to media library after dragging and dropping while holding down "option"

I'm having trouble adding media without automatically copying the file to the iTunes media libary after dragging and dropping while holding down "option."
In Preferences > Advanced, "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" is checked. When I drag a file into iTunes while holding "option", the green "plus" icon disappears. However, iTunes still copies the file to media folder.
Any suggestions?

you can also try:
I found that if I SCROLL down to the word 'playlist' and hover around the name, a 'show' comes up. Click on the 'show' and everything magically appears.

Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks

Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

Music not showing up in library after drag and drop (7.0)

Music will not show up in library after draging and dropping .mp3's into itunes. Also won't show up if I try the File > Add Folder to Library. The processing files box shows up like its going to work, but it just doesn't. I have tried many differnet mp3's, some actually DID import.
Also, double clicking on an mp3 will bring up itunes, but it will not load or play the song.
I currently have 55.5GB of music, and 10,158 songs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Sounds like you "upgraded" to Pages 5.

Finder - Can't drag and drop files onto stacks on the desktop anymore.

Hi,
This might sound like a strange question but in the past I was able to select a group of files in a window and drag that group to the desktop where they would stack upon one another creating a neat stack of all the files in one place. Now when I do this they drag onto the desktop and remain spread out all over the place. It's not terribly difficult to deal with except if I'm dragging say, 30 photos onto the deskop. Before they appeared stacked upon one another and I could simply drag one off the stack one by one. I am however experincing harsh symptoms of OCD because I can't figure out why. My co-worker's Mac is the same as mine (both running 10.8.2) and his files stack just fine.
I've done a fresh install after having no luck and it's till doing it.
This is really bumming me out. Any suggestions are very welcome. I've even booted into safe mode and it still won't stack drag and dropped files onto the desktop.
Thanks for any advice,
-Jason

Relaunch Finder and restart Mac OS X. See if this helps.

Missing files after drag and drop

In the newest FCP X, I accidentally imported a couple .mov files into the wrong event. I dragged and dropped them into the correct event but now they are missing. I've checked each event in FCP, and also looked for the files in Finder (opening each event from FCP), for the files and can't find them. I can't find them at all in the FCP X created backup versions. Any other ideas on where to find the files?

Ah ha! Now I bet I know where they are! Go to the original Event, or the Event you copied them to. Dont' search names, look at the clips them selves. FCPX by defualt changes the names to creation time/date. Select everything in an Event, go to the Modify menu, to "Apply Custom Name", and select "Original Name From Camera". I bet they show up.
From now on, when you move or copy stuff, to verify it will work properly, and for peice of mind, highlight what you want (Event, Project, media file), go to the File menu and select the move or copy command.
And remember that FCPX renames your video when you import it. I hate it, too. But, that's how they do it.
Also remember when you rename the file in FCPX, the creation time/date name stays in the Finder.

After drag and drop initiation get rid of dragged symbol

Here is the code I have now for the drag and drop initation
onMouseMove = function(){
updateAfterEvent();
redCircle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this,true)
redCircle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
redCircle.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
function checkTarget(drag){
// _dropTarget method (commented so non active)
// trace(drag+ "has been dropped on "+eval(drag._droptarget));
if (drag.hitTest(greyCircle)) {
drag+ gotoAndStop (32);
} else {
gotoAndStop (31);
What I want to happen is that after you drop the dragged symbol into the landing area the symbol disappears instead of staying in the landing area.
I am just wondering how to do this.

try:
onMouseMove = function(){
updateAfterEvent();
redCircle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this,true)
redCircle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
redCircle.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
function checkTarget(drag){
// _dropTarget method (commented so non active)
// trace(drag+ "has been dropped on "+eval(drag._droptarget));
if (drag.hitTest(greyCircle)) {
drag+ gotoAndStop (32); //<- what's that supposed to do? <----------That makes the timeline go to frame 32 when the symbol is dropped into the //landing area
drag.removeMovieClip();
} else {
gotoAndStop (31);
What I want to happen is that after you drop the dragged symbol into the landing area the symbol disappears instead of staying in the landing area.
I am just wondering how to do this.
the drag.removeMovieClip(); did not work the movie clip drop symbol was still was visible when it was placed in the landing area

Can't see music even after drag and drop

Since I was having the same problems with MM and MS, I tried the solution I saw several people post on here and have done the following:
On my BB Pearl
options>media card
media card support: on
encryption mode: none
mass storage mode: on
auto enable mass storage mode when connected: yes
Connected phone to pc using cable then dragged and dropped music files to E: drive music folder.
Removed phone from pc but music files are still not showing up.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

when you have your device plugged and you can browser it with Windows Explorer,
delete all bbthumb.dat files in the Music\ folder.
then unplug, and open the media application. And wait.

It charges via its USB socket, so you can't use the Xtra's power supply.
What is displayed in screen and can i use drag and drop transfer method from windows explorer?
It works as a flash dri've, so appears as a dri've letter in Windows Explorer.
Finally can i use the mediasource 3.20 softwear update i now use with my zen or must i input different mediasource version for slim than one i use with the zen? thanks matt
Go to Nomadworld.com downloads and you'll see the Slim listed there with MediaSource and the MuVo plugin.

Datagrid not refreshing after drag and drop

Please help me solve this: my datagrid DOES refresh itself,
but only after the SECOND drag and drop.
Here's an example of my datagrid :
1. Label a Description a
2. Label b Description b
3. Label c Description c
When I drag the third row to the top of the datagrid, I want
to see updated row numbers like this:
1. Label c Description c
2. Label a Description a
3. Label b Description b
But I see this
3. Label c Description c
1. Label a Description a
2. Label b Description b
Now let's swap rows 2 and 3; now the datagrid will correctly
show 1. in the first row! (Of course 3. and 2 are messed up until
the next drag and drop).
1. Label c Description c
2. Label b Description b
1. Label a Description a
As you can see, row #1 is now correctly displaying "1." This
is happening only after the second drag and drop occurs.
Here's my strategy:
1. I'm using a datagrid with an ArrayCollection as the
dataprovider.
2. The datagrid uses the dragComplete event to call a
function (function shown below).
3. This function uses a loop to update the property GOALORDER
of each row in the ArrayCollection
4. This function also creates an object of new GOALORDER's to
update the database (this part is working fine).
I've noticed somewhere in the docs that, when a datagrid is
experiencing multiple changes it turns on
ArrayCollection.disableAutoUpdate automatically. IS THIS TRUE? This
could explain why my datagrid does not immediately refresh.
Is there some way to drag and drop, update the
ArrayCollection, and refresh the datagrid- in that order?
Thanks!
Here's the misbehaving function!
// re-sort the list NOTE first index=0, first goalorder=1
private function reSort():void
var params:Object = new Object();
params.DBACTION = "reorder";
var i:int;
var g:int;
for (i = 0; i < acGoals.length; i++)
g=i+1;
// replace GOALORDER in ArrayCollection
var editRow:Object = acGoals
editRow.GOALORDER = g;
acGoals.setItemAt(editRow, i);
// create multiple entries to edit database
params["GOALID"+g]= acGoals.getItemAt(i).GOALID;
params["GOALORDER"+g]= g;
params["rowsToUpdate"] = g;
//HTTPService to
hsGoalAction.send(params);

List display update labelfunction after drag and drop

I have two list boxes. I have drag and drop enabled and depending upon whether an item has been already dragged to the right box, I want its display in the left box to change (gray out). I have the label function working fine but it's always one item behind, i.e., when I drop an item in the right side box, it's not grayed in the left box until the next action.
I've tried after the drop things such as:
dp.refresh()
leftSideBox.validateNow();
Anything else I can do to get the left side box to re-run the label function for the dataprovider as soon as the drop is done?

Wow. It's almost as if you knew the answer. Thanks.
