Mail Drag and Drop to mailboxes not auto-scrolling

When dragging a mail message to the sidebar and the mailbox I want to drag it to is not in sight, on earlier OSes, I used to be able to drag and hold to the top or bottom of the sidebar and it would auto-scroll so I could drop the message where I wanted. On Yosemite, no auto-scrolling happens. Is this just me or are other experiencing the same problem and/or does someone have a solution?

beezaman,
I also experience this issue. If I turn off or Hide if you will the Favorites Bar and the Toolbar then I'm able to drag a file to scroll up or down in the sidebar. As I know hiding the toolbars isn't something many people would want to do, I would encourage sending Apple feedback about this issue. You can do so at the following link: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For me a solution for now would be to use the scroll whilst dragging feature of the trackpad. Click and drag a message over the sidebar and then whilst still holding down the left click I can scroll up or down using the trackpads two finger scroll.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can i link to a specific sent email within a cell like the "Show in Mail" drag and drop feature in iCal events?

Trying to make a log of phone and email contacts with customers. I want to link to the actual email I sent to the customer, like the "show in mail" drag and drop feature in iCal. Thanks

Links in Numbers can do only two things external to the document:
Open a page on the web
Open and address a NEW email message, ready to compose and send.

Apple mail drag and drop to folder

Hi everyone,
Just wondered if the functionality to be able to drag and drop email from mail to a folder on my desktop has been removed or if it's an option I need to find.
I don't want to file>save each email every time.
Thanks!
Ben

It works fine for me as-is, using OS X 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5.
Note that the file dragged out and dropped onto the Desktop or into a folder on the Desktop will be a Mail document, not a text document.
If I want to quick-copy/export an email, I open the message in Mail, click once in the lower pane to make it active, then press Command-A (Select All). This highlights the body text of the email, which I can then drag out onto the Desktop where it becomes a regular clipping rather than a Mail doc.
Note re drag-and-drop -
If you click on the name of a message in the list and quickly try to drag it out to the Desktop it doesn't seem to work. However, if you click and hold for a second or two, the message line will dim a bit; if you then drag, it will follow along and drop where you let go of it.

E-mail drag and drop

Until a few days ago my I was able to drag and drop my incoming e-mail into folders - this feature stopped working for some reason
I am on Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion I looked through some correspondence , but it does not have answer for me.Thanks

Hi Graf,
In one way its possible. you can either open the explorer view of document library and then drag drop from explorer view to your outlook new message window.
or you can map your sharepoint document library as network path. steps are follows :
1- Go to My computer
2- Right click and select Add network location click on next.
3- chose a custom netowrk location folder and click next
4- then enter the path of your sharepoint document library and click finish

Drag and drop podcasts do not show up under "podcasts" heading

When I manually drag and drop a downloaded podcast into my Ipod, these do not show up in ITunes under the "podcasts" category. When I look at the Ipod display, it show the podcast is actually on the device, even though ITunes does not show it. I can not browse through the ITunes listings to find the missing podcasts since the only other category available in the left-hand menu is "music" and this does not show podcast as an option for genre. How can I display and delete podcasts after I have listened to them? Hows can I see what is actually on my Ipod using ITunes.

Only episodes downloaded with iTunes will go into podcast section even if genre is set to podcast. Doesn't matter if it is singles episode download or using subscription.
Episodes downloaded with browser will go into music section. Depending on tag info they can then be found using genre, artist, or album search.
Somebody, awhile ago, found the difference in files using a hex editor. They were successful in moving the direct download file to the podcast section.

In Oats Drag and Drop Api is not working in Firefox Browser

To Write OAts test for Drag and Drop functionality
we are using "dragTo" API.
Ex :
web.image("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + sourceIndex + "']")
.dragTo("/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Fusion Applications']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='aqizmnwha_1']/web:img[@absoluteLocator='" + targetIndex + "']");
This Api is not working in firfox.(works in IE browser).
Is there any other way we can test DnD functionality in firefox and IE?
Thanks in Advance!
Thanks,

Drag And Drop operations do not call custom IRM Protector

We are developing our own custom IRM Protector,
So far we have successfuly integrated our IRM Protector into Sharepoint, and download operations and upload operations do protect and unprotect documents. Also move operations between libraries, through Send To ribbon action, call HrProtect and HrUnprotect
methods as needed.
However, in our test environments, when using drag and drop operations between Libraries or folders, the IRM Protector is not being called at all. We have tried to update our test environments to the latest Cumulative Update, without success. Is there any
known bug around the drag and drop functionality?
If true, Drag and Drop suposes a great security threat, and we cannot deliver our protection product to our customers, as it would mean document protections could be bypassed by a simple sharepoint operation.
Thanks,

GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

Hello,
In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
* Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
But I can't make it working.
As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Franz

AS3 drag and drop masked bitmaps - not working

I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted into movie clips.
PROBLEM
All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.
ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's.
Is this problem because the objects were masked or for any other reason?
Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.
// ACTION SCRIPT

var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;

Drag and drop into playlist not working + changing of timezone

Hey All
Ive searched and cant find an answer to this anywhere
My PC crashed pretty hardcore like (unable to load vista to deauthorize account before formatting PC) so a format ensued, once i formatted i reinstalled itunes and reauthorized my account for my ipod touch did the whole back transfer and delete and resync of my ipod so now i have to put all my music back onto the ipod touch (well not all my music just the stuff i want to listen too)
So i went and made a new blank playlist (not a smart list) and proceeded to fill ... when i came accross my problem i cant drag music from the library to my new fresh (definitely not a smart playlist) Playlist
ive checked the "manually manage box" in the ipod summary screen but even when the ipod isnt plugged in i cant drag and drop. i can right click and add to playlist fine ... just not drag and drop
also when i plug my ipod in it sets my timezone to london and changes my time .... rather annoying considering i use my ipod as an alarm clock
any assistance is greatly appreciated
Thanks Rey

Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.
