More friendly drag-and-drop from grid view to folder

From within the grid view, I do a multiple selection and drag the pictures to a folder on the left, to move all the pictures to that folder. If in the folder there is already a file with the same name as one of the selected pictures, the whole operation is cancelled. It is extremely annoying. LR might instead pop up a dialog asking if I still want to move the pictures that can be moved. Even better, the dialog should give options to overwrite the file in the destination folder, or to automatically re-name either file and stack them.

On the page itself (icloud.com/iwork) it states "To get started, launch [Pages, Numbers, Keynote] on your iOS device and turn on iCloud."  This would lead me to believe you need to have the iOS version before you can even try using the icloud.com/iwork to upload files.
I personally am not paying $10 just to test this, but if anyone else has tested this, it would be great to either confirm or deny this beyond just what I'm reading from it.
Well, I have paid those 30 $ ( well 24 Euros ) for keynote,numbers and pages and yes you absolutely need at least one of these apps on your Device in order to unlock the "drag and drop" solution in the Browser. In other words - if you do not own a iDevice or not have one of that apps, you can't use icloud.com/iwork and its upload features at all.
After all it is only for iOS iwork; Mac iwork09 does not sync to the cloud at all, regardless of "documents and data" set to yes in icloud on OSX.  On the contrary if you enable the same feature on your iOS5 device and set the iwork apps to store their documents in icloud, the syncing does start. So it kinda makes sense to force the presence of the iOS apps.
iwork on iOS is pretty good, all 3 apps are high quality, come with those typical awesome templates and have tons of options to print,share and sync; but beware of the cloud storage thing : randomly documents in iCloud just delete themself.Go figure in the support forum for iwork for ios here - 100s users have experienced lost data using iwork for iOS in the cloud; So I turned this whole thing off again and sync my documents old fashioned via iTunes.

  • 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.

  • Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

    I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view.  I cannot get it to work.
    Steps:
    1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
    2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
    3. Mouseup on the destination folder
    Results:
    Nothing happens.  The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow.  There is no indication I can drag and drop.  The photos are not moved.
    The photos are stored on a NAS.  Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons.  From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders.  I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive.  Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
    What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

    I created a new catalog.  Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
    I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS).  I've been at this for 3 hours.  I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy.  Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
    I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files.  Really strange.

  • Enable Drag and Drop from mail to inbox folder

    Using Outlook 2007... Somehow my drag and drop function has been disabled. I can no longer select an email and move it into a mail folder by dragging and dropping. I am able to right click and select "move to" but dragging and dropping is much
    more efficient with the volume of email I'm receiving. This happened to me years ago but the company's IT guy fixed it while I was out of the office. When asked he said I had typed a keyboard code unknowingly that disabled the function. Any ideas on how to
    regain the awesomeness that is drag and drop??

    Hi,
    Some users who encountered the same issue are able to resolve it by pressing ESC key for several times, you may have a try and let me know the result.
    If above doesn't make any change, we may try to right-click the email you want to move and drag it to the target folder, then select Move from the pop-up menu to see if it will work.

  • Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

    Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
    Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
    I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
    Thx!

    Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
    Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • Drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox

    how do i drag and drop from Multicolumn listbox to another Multicolumn Listbox?/...any example..
    use LABVIEW 8.2.1
    regard's
    eyal.

    To drag and drop within the target listbox you'll have to add a Drag Starting? event for the target listbox and register that drag data with a different adn unique Drag Data Name, then in the Drag Enter? event check for that data name as well before accepting the event, and then in the Drop? event for the target listbox handle the new data name as well. You can use the Point to Row Column invoke method to determine which row, column, or cell is being manipulated. I've created a VERY crude example of this, but you'll have to get more creative with how you handle the moving of rows, columns, etc. for the target listbox, but I think it gives the general idea. Hope this helps!

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?

  • 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 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.

  • 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:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
    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,

  • 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:

  • 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!!!

    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
