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.

  • 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.

  • When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder.  Why?

    When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder.  Why?  I have a heirarchical embedded folder structure under \Documents.  Usually, as I drag the file to be moved over the various folders, they will blink twice, then expand/open to reveal contents (in Finder).  Now, when the file to be moved is held (hovering) over the destination folder, it will not blink or expand, so there's no place to drop the file.  If I release the mouse button, the file image disappears, showing that it is "going back to the place it came from", a.k.a. was not moved.  This just started happening.  I noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks.  Is this a bug or could anything else be causing this?

    As of today, Apple Support discovered during a remote support session with me that the same thing happens on their own system.  It is isolated to "Column View"; the Icon and List views in Finder behave correctly.  Issue is being escalated to engineering, and Apple will call to report status in a couple days.  In all likelihood, this is a bug that will need to be addressed in a future update.

  • 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

  • Transfering files using drag and drop to Nano P

    I havent installed the supplied disks that came with my Nano Plus but am transfering files using drag and drop from "my music" folder on my computer to the Nano. These files are stored on my computer as the Name of the Artist as the folder name with a sub folder named the CD title (default setting when using Windows media to rip) with the individual track files in that folder.
    When I drag the main folder over to my Nano it just displays the Album title on the screen but not by artist and there is no way to select by artist (you can just switch "folders" on the Nano which will then display the CD title. If I used the supplied software with my Nano to transfer the files will I be able to choose by artist, CD, Genre, etc or is this not a function of the Nano?
    Is it best to just select the individual song tracks and throw them in one large group on the Nano and then it can figure out which artist, album, genre they belong to?

    The player will only show directories that contain music files.
    The behaviour you want is common on players that manage their content with a database (typically HD-based devices), but Creative's flash players don't work that way (and the software used on the host computer doesn't have any influence on this - the user interface is controlled by the player's firmware).

  • Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files!

    Help please,
    Mail doesn't attach files through dragging and dropping the files on OS X ML, it crashes for a while !!

    Open Disk Utility and Repair disk permissions on the First Aid tab.
    Then, Restart and boot into Recovery Mode by holding down cmd-r on restart until you see a gray screen. When the Mac boots, you will be presented with some options. Choose Disk Utility and select your Hard drive volume (Macintosh HD is the default name). Then, on the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (not permissions).
    If that doesn't help, you could try installing the 10.8.2 combo updater from the Apple Downloads site:

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Start Workflow when Upload File using drag and drop

    Hi,
    I am working with SharePoint 2013.
    I have a workflow needed to be started and run only once after a document is uploaded into the document library. The document library has
    required custom columns with default values. If I set workflow starting option as 'On Created', when user got redirected to the edit form and click 'Save', there would be error as
    "The <filename> has been modified by <user> on <datetime>". Besides the unwanted error dialog, the metadata entered by users are not reflected. I understand the issue is because the workflow had already started before
    the edit form showed and it modified the file.
    So I changed the starting option to 'On Changed", created an additional column to record if the workflow has been run or not to avoid running the whole workflow more than once. This works fine for normal upload. However on drag and drop, the
    event 'On Changed' is not triggered and the workflow is not started. I checked the version of the file but in both normal upload and drag and drop, there is another version after the first version. But
    only the version of normal upload triggers the workflow.
    I read an article about some Mode = Upload on the edit form.
    https://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/workflow-triggered-during-upload-user-149297.aspx
    It seems that the Mode = Upload is not there anymore for normal upload, but it's still there for drag and drop. Not sure about this
    Is there a solution for my case. Basically I want to start the workflow only once when the document is uploaded normally or via drag and drop. For normal upload, user can
    edit the custom metadata right after they browse the file. For drag and drop, the
    metadata will be set as default values.
    Thank you.

    I'm still researching your issue, but as an interesting note... This is an issue only when I use a 2013 style workflow. I do not get the error when using a 2010 style workflow.

  • Moving files by drag and drop

    Am I missing a trick in Finder? I have it set to the "three panels" where sub folders are displayed. If I have file in Panel A (leftmost) and I want to drag and drop it into a sub-folder or a folder in Panel A, how do I do it ?!! I can see the sub-folders in Panel B when I click on the main folder in Panel A, but as soon as I click on the stray file in Panel A, all the sub-folders in Panel B go disappear (as I am no longer clicked on the main folder).
    What I currently tend to do is drag the file to the desktop and then re-drag it to the sub-folder once I get it to re-display. Sometimes, I'll also try and hold the file while precariously trying to navigate towards the relevant subfolder, but only in times of madness. Either way it seems a very inconvenient making straight forward file movements, and I am wondering if I have something set wrong?

    Your best bet is to open a Window to Panel A & another Window to Panel B, or get a Desktop/Finder replacement APP.

  • Visual Studio opening files when dragged and dropped in WPF app debugging session

    I'm working on a WPF app (using VS2013 CE) which is intended to manage media files (TV Shows, movies, etc) and as part of this I am enabling the user to drag and drop media files on to the running app (by adding AllowDrop="True" and PreviewDragEnter="Window_PreviewDragEnter"
    to my Window definition).
    The problem I have is that when I drag files onto the app in a debugging session Visual Studio then opens the file(s) when I stop debugging... this is seriously annoying as when I am testing with large media files (> 1GB) it just locks up VS for minutes
    at a time while it tries to open the file or files. When I run the app outside the debugger this does not happen - it's only when I'm in a VS debugging session.  The only way I can stop this happening is to kill VS completely from Task Manager then restart
    it - this is also very annoying but often I need to do this as it will freeze up for 5-10 minutes while it insists on loading the files in VS.
    I understand the app, whilst debugging, is running in the context of VS but why does VS then have to try to open the files when debugging is finished?   I have looked through the options but can't see anything to switch this off and no amount of searching
    has turned up anything - can anyone put me out of my misery with a solution to this annoying issue?

    Hello nzmike,
    Does Visual Studio behaves like the following image shows and just hangs when opening your media file?
    Do you have any other computer which installs Visual Studio? Can you reproduce this on it?
    In order to troubleshoot this issue I think we need to locate the root reason of your issue. The problem can related to the following:
    1. Your project is corrupt and VS then trys to load that file when debug finished.
    2. Your VS is corrupt and caused this problem.
    So please do something below:
    1. Try clean and rebuild your project.
    2. Switch to some other PCs and use VS and your project there, check if the problem can be reproduced.
    3. You can backup your VS setting and try some commands: devenv /resetsettings and devenv /resetuserdata
    Details about VS command:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
    And based on th research of the above second step, if you can reproduce this issue on more than one PC, the problem is pending on your project and I need you to share a simple sample which can reproduce this issue. We will need to investigate the project
    in detail.
    Best regards,

  • Unable to upload a file with Drag and Drop and http

    Hello,
    I am trying to upload a file through the web interface (Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.0). When I click un upload, Via Drag and Drop, a new window is started, but never completes.
    With Netscape, I get a message box: Netscape is unable to locate the server null. Please check the server name and try again.
    With IE 5, I get an error: This page can not be displayed.
    Are there any files I need to edit on the PC side to get this to work?

  • Is it possible to combine pdfs from software containing the file by dragging and dropping them?

    We have a piece of software that we profile PDF files into it and then have a need to combine those PDFs into one file.  Is it possible to just drag and drop from the software into the combine files area?  I know if you open the files first, you can do that or if you save the documents locally, then you can combine them.  It would be ideal to just select the files in the software, then drag and drop them into the combine pdf window.  We are using Adobe Pro XI.

    Hi Hawk2000,
    The workflow you are talking about is very much possible with Acrobat and a good example is Microsoft Outlook from which we can select multiple e-mails and simply drag into Acrobat combine dialog box for combining.
    What happens when you drag files from you software? Is it public software?
    Can we test your software?

  • 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.

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

  • Problem Copying Files using Drag and Drop in Finder

    When I try to copy files from a camera's SD disk into a folder in Finder, it always seems to copy the files to some other location other than the folder I drag and dropped to. And then, when I try to redo the drag and drop, I get a message that these files already exist in the desired folder, even though I don't see them there!
    Also when I create a new folder in Finder, it never places the new folder under the folder I've currently highlighted.
    I'd love to hear whats going on here!

    What Finder "view" option are you using, List, Icons, Columns, or Cover Flow, for this question and the one below? Are you dragging those photos onto the icon of a closed folder or somewhere else? Please describe the exact process that you're executing.
    Also when I create a new folder in Finder, it never places the new folder under the folder I've currently highlighted.
    When you say "under", do you mean "within"? A new folder will be placed in the folder that's open.
