Loading Freehand documents by drag and drop?

Not a very serious thing, but I can't load Freehand documents to Illustrator with drag and dropping to dock icon or double clicking.
I find this drags my workflow down a lot when I need to go thru the menus to open something. And I have a lot of old Freehand documents.
Is there maybe something wrong with my setup or is this normal?

What version of Illustrator are you using?
What versions of FH files are you opening?
What is your OS version?
I'm able to open FreeHand files back to .fh7 into AI 13.0.2 with drag and drop. I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11.
To open in AI with double-click you'll have to get info for one of the older FH files on your local hard drive. Set 'Open With' to AI, and under 'Use this application of open all documents like this', select 'Change All'.

  • XML based drag and drop

    ok, im not new to any of this really. Im simply stuck and
    cant figure out why my drop targets arent working. my variables are
    tracing directly before the drop target is evaluating.... its just
    not returning that it is droped on the target.
    the specific problem:
    btn.onRelease = function(){
    stopDrag();
    target_ = _root["t_"+ a_num];
    droper = _root["d_"+ a_num];
    trace(droper + "//" + target_);
    //////--------------------THE
    PROBLEM--------------------///////
    if (eval(droper._droptarget) == target_) {
    trace("Success");
    }else{

    this & droper both return the same object. i actually
    have it back to this right now. the one i posted up was just

    sooooo, anyone else got ideas on why it isnt reading when the
    object is dropped?

  • I used to drag and drop newly loaded CD's from Recently Added to one of my iPod Classic playlists. I have no idea how to do this with the new version of iTunes. I thought perhaps checking Sync might give me a clue but it warned me Syncing would wipe conte

    I used to drag and drop music loaded from CD's from the Recently Added folder to a Playlist on my iPods Classic. Can't see how to do this with new iTunes version. Probably need to sync somehow but when I checked on Sync it warned me it would wipe out my iPod contents. Don 't know why Apple makes something that used to be simple so difficult. Can't even figure out how to display both my library and iPod contents on same screen.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • Images load funny, videos don't sync if on another tab, and I can't drag and drop Google Drive files.

    I've always used Firefox, but the past couple months things have started getting a bit screwy and I am not sure why as, to my knowledge, I haven't installed anything new. I first noticed it with images on webpages. If they load while I'm on another tab, when I switch back it's a white block until I scroll up or down (so the image is off the visible screen) and then when I scroll back to the image it's there. Videos also won't sync right if I switch to another tab while it's loading. I actually have to refresh the page and wait on that webpage in order for it to work. The nail in the coffin for me, though, is that I can no longer 'drag and drop' files to collections in Google Drive. I was always able to do this - and I can do it in other browsers like Chrome - but now not in Firefox. I'd hate to switch browsers, but these things are really irking me.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

    I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

    Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

  • Drag and drop samples for instant load and playback. MIDI SAMPLE PLAYBACK

    HI, i am looking for a application where I can drag samples in it for instant midi playback.
    I know logic has a way to do this through the ESX24, but the problem is there are multiple steps and it can takes around 1-3 minutes to finished the task.
    I am looking for something on a more "spend less time setting up" event. Basically an application where I can manual drag and drop for quick load. I would like to use the Roland Hand-sonic as my midi play back

    sonther, I've only tried the audiofinder out a little bit running in demo mode. I liked it ok, except that I thought I'd go and let it index my audio files, which took a very long time (fair enough, I have many).. but I didn't really see any great advantage from having done so. also I found that for some files it would give me a waveform overview, others it would say preview not available or something, even though they were the same format. maybe that was a demo limitation thing.
    but it did get me thinking about how much I'd like to work better with my audio in the finder.. I've hated the audio import and audio window management in logic for a while so I'm always looking for better ways to do things.
    ...then, I saw this:
    http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Soundabout/SoundaboutMain.html
    now, I just checked and the website is currently updating this page. but go back later until you see it back up. there was a QT demo video (complete with that generic dutch-english accent..), showing what looks to me like exactly the enhancements I've been looking for, to work much better with audio in the mac finder. and of course it's got a few things that I didn't even know I was looking for, but now I know.
    I'm hoping it gets released soon.. and I'm also hoping that it's not going to mess around with leopard when that comes out, because I have a feeling I am going to get very used to using this thing.
    even for things outside logic, like quickly rounding up my work in progress files to instantly convert to mp3 and AAC right there in the finder, and then automatically have it all placed in an email ready to go, it's going to make life a whole lot easier. especially when you've been working hard on a deadline project, the last thing you feel like doing is messing around keeping your work in progress files in order, prepping mp3s or whatever and emailing, after you've finished a long day at logic.. seriously, check out the video when it's back up..
    et dis-moi sonther, ça se fait comment que tu parles français? t es pô un ptit québecois par hasard?....

  • Drag and drop items to document librarys in outlook

    Hi guys,
    I've seen other post regarding this but there was no answer for the practice drag-and-drop e-mails or documents to documents librarys inside outlook ??
    can someone help me pls ?
    thanks in advance

    The best way to do this so that it is easy for your end users is to:
    Step 1
    Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
    1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
    2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
    3.       Click on your top folder
    4.       Click on Actions
    5.       Open with Windows Explorer
    6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
    Step 2
    Go to Start, Computer
    1.       Click on Map Network Drive
    2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
    3.       Check Reconnect at logon
    4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
    *note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
    Step 3
    Open Notepad
    1.       Type in the following:
    “explorer z:”  (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
    2.       Click File
    3.       Click Save As
    4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
    ·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
    ·         Save to the Desktop
    When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

  • How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

    Hi
    How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
    Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
    Regards
    Paru

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
    Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
    You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
    using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
