Is it possible to Drag and Drop from KDE into a Java application?

Can someone please let me know if it is possible to drag a file, or any other object from KDE (linux) to a Java application? If so, could you give any code examples that could help supplement an explaination?

Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)

Hi Pete,
You can obtain scripts here:

You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,

Drag and drop from Contacts into Numbers not working - any solutions?

I'm trying to get my Contacts into a Numbers spreadsheet. According to the Help files, I should be able to select the Contacts and simply drag them into a Numbers sheet (after deleting the default Table). I've tried this many times over and the drag and drop feature doesn't seem to be working. I can select the contacts and drag them over, but the little contact card remains red when I drag it into Numbers and never turns green to allow me to drop into Numbers. It's the same whether I'm trying to drag one contact or many contacts at the same time. I've also tried exporting a vcard and then dragging that file from my desktop into Numbers, but that doesn't work either. I've tried quitting and reopening both applications, as well as restarting my computer. I'm running OSX 10.8.3 and have installed all new software updates, so I'm just at a loss for what to try next.
Does anyone have any solutions for this problem, or an alternative way to get my Contacts into a Numbers file?
Many thanks in advance!

When I tried, it put up a dialog asking me if I wanted to allow Numbers access to my Contacts. Is it possible you tried this and dis-allowed it access?
You might check, anyway. Open Security & Privacy System Prefs, select Privacy tab, and select Contacts from the list of items. Is Numbers listed and is it checked?
Another way to get the contact information into the clipboard is to create an Automator workflow like this:
Open Automator and select Workflow from the options presented.
Drag in the above actions and set the properties as you like. For the Get Contact Information action, you must set the export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
For the new Text File action, I had to set the Encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) or it would fail.
Select all the contacts you want and then click the Run button in Automator. You can then open the text file with Numbers.
If you envision doing this often, start with an application instead of a Workflow and save it somewhere. Then, you can select your contacts and double-click the Application to export the contacts each time.
The benefit of this method is that you can select all the fields you want to include (at least more than is provided in Drag and Drop).

Can't drag and drop from Preview into Powerpoint

I'm having an odd problem, in that I cannot drag a thumbnail in Preview into Powerpoint. I used to be able to do this in Leopard, wherein I could drag the thumbnail from Preview to Powerpoint (I have 2008) and it would place the picture on the slide, but in Lion and Mountain Lion, it only posts the file path as text. Something similar happens when I try to copy and paste the thumbnail, though it's a different filepath, presumably to the clipboard. I can successfully drag the thumbnail to the desktop, where it copies the file, and then drag that file onto Powerpoint, where the picture then appears.
I suppose my questions are twofold: Is this the normal and expected behavior? And is it possible to revert to the old behavior, under Leopard?

I might be wrong, but ...
I know Microsoft Office 2011 is Mountain Lion compatible. In fact, Microsoft released updates to it right around the time of Mountain Lion's release to assure compatibility.
I do not believe Microsoft Office 2008 is Mountain Lion compatible.

Drag and Drop from LR to other applications

There was a thread going on D&D from LR to explorer.
The other appliation problem I have is the apparent inability to drag and drop from lightroom into a file transfer window (e.g., file upload with SmugMug).
The quick collection is an awesome way to organize a storyline of images from a shoot, select only the images needed, and prepare a shoot for upload. However, short of exporting to a folder first, is there a way to just drag and drop the file set from a LR view (filmstrip or thumbs) to another app? This would just be providing file handles, and I would be satisfied if it only grabbed the original images (pre-"develop").
Anyone have any luck with this?
-- Jeff

No. And not likely anytime soon. Putting a Pointer/alias to SmugMug (if it is an uploader client app, not familiar with it) in the Export Actions Folder for Post Processing from Export is the best you can do at the monemt. To get LR rdits out of LR you have to Export. D&D just isn't going to do that for you.

Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
I tried accessing the two preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
Any idea what's going on and what to do?
Thanks!!!
Amy

There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

Drag and drop from pages tab

I am trying to drag a page from acrobat reader into a C# application. The only information i need from acrobat is the filename and the page number or numbers. Is this information accessible? Do i need to cast the dataObject i am being sent to a different type? Has anyone had success with drag and drop from inside accrobat to another application?
Any help at all would be very appreciated.

Reader does NOT support dragging from the pages panel.
Adobe Acrobat, however, does. But the only supported destinations for dragging from the pages tab are another Acrobat window or the Finder/Explorer. Any other destination is untested and unsupported.

Is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another software program such as band-In -Box to garage band

is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another music program like Band-ina-box into garage band

GarageBand for iPad is a pretty closed system.
The Song File
You can only open GarageBand for iPad Song Files with the extension .band. Please note that those files look the same as the ones form GarageBand 11. However, they are only upwards compatible but not downward compatible. GarageBand iOS -> GarageBand OSX -> Logic.
Audio Files
You can import a wide variety of Audio Files into GarageBand (via iTunes File Sharing) to use in your Song. But any material from another app has to be mixed down first. Either as a single stereo mix or you mix each track separately and then import those separate files ("stems") into GarageBand. This is a typical procedure to move material to a different app,for example for mixing.
Hope that helps

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

I can't drag and drop from a data CD I recorded

I recently burned some audiobooks files (in mp3 format) as data cd's in Toast 8.0.1. When I go to reload them back onto my 20" 2 Ghz Dual Core Intel I can't drag and drop the files directly into any folder while using the columns view in a finder window. I can do it if I drag onto the music folder and let it spring open down to the level of the folder. I also can drag the mp3's into iTunes and then into the folder. This is not CD related since I used several diff brands.
I constantly update, backup, repair permissions, and do other maintenance so everything is up to date. I have noticed this behavior just since I started to use the program called Audiobook Builder. I am (and have always used) a non-admin user account. When this started a few months ago it seemed to go away with a restart, permission repair, or a logout but now it seems permanant. I checked user permissions on my home folder - I have not added any software since adding Audiobook Builder. Any idea's? I read something about trashing a com.apple pref but didn't try that.
I suspect Audiobook Builder since it changes the permissions and filetype to the iTunes Audiobook filetype but have not seen anyone reference this.

While the programming of course could be done, the idea of a function that performs on original unprocessed images seems to violate the whole idea of what Lightroom was designed to be. At least that's my opinion. Of course, the idea that Adobe should do this programming for a relatively small number of people (you're one of a very few people to ask for this, that I have read) seems to be something that isn't going to happen.
I agree, I can't see much reason for drag-and-drop to drag the unprocessed image - in other words, an image that isn't the one that you see when you drag and drop. I can see that just filling this forum with "why the heck does it do that????????" posts. I could be wrong, but I suspect that Adobe won't do that.
But if you do want to drag-and-drop the original unprocessed image, you can do it very easily now. Right click the image, choose "show in Explorer", and then drag-and-drop from Explorer.

I can't drag and drop from windows explorer into my ipod on itunes. Any suggestions?

Can't drag and drop from page view

Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page. On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues. Its slow and cumbersome.

Hi Peterbruce,
Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
Best,
Sara

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:
