Need Drag & Drop Image creation app.

HI, I'm not yet a Flash/Flex programmer but need an answer
from an experienced one.
I have a customer that wants to be able to make a drag N drop
application that would produce a Vector based graphic (that I could
save or email) as it's final product.
Analogy: Imagine a picture frame shape workspace that you
could drag items onto, like add an image of the sun and a tree and
a bird, then arrange and possibly re-size them, then have some
process take this created image and save it as some format that is
a Vector based drawing, or I can probably convert it to vector from
a GIF or JPG on the backend...
Sound Possible?

Drag drop images while composing the forum post

Hi All,
Many time I felt like it would be good if we can drag drop images to the forum post being composed. Similar to Gmail compose, if NI forum composition page also has that drag drop feature, it would be great. But I'm wondering if it's only me or other people are also out there looking for this feature.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Francois,
I have tried to implement this bean but I'm having problems. I've been using your
LAF package for almost 4 years now without issue. I tried the jar file from the zip
file. I also created a new project and recompiled the java code against the 10.1.2.3
frmall.jar file that matches our app server. I resigned it and it's still not working.
Maybe I'm just missing something simple. When I compile and run the form, I see
the canvas and I can change the text fields, but I don't see how I can drag and
drop items. Hopefully, you can think of something that can fix our problem. I would
love to be able to use drag and drop functionality in an upcoming application.
We're running the following versions:
App Server: 10.1.2.3
DB: 10.2.0.5
JDev: 10.1.3.3.0
Windows XP for the clients
Windows Server 2008 for the servers
Thanks,
Jason
Edit: I looked in my java console and saw that my issue was that we signed this jar file with a different certificate. I created a special config as Francois has suggested in another post and included only the DnD.jar file and it worked. However, I can't get the image or multi-line text areas to drag and drop. I'll keep poking around and see if I can figure out what's going on. The console seems to recognize when I'm dragging and dropping from all fields.

Drag & drop images from Finder into new Photoshop layer?

Is it possible to drag & drop images from Finder into a new Photoshop layer?
I can do it from a web browser, but not the Finder.

>I couldn't find a way to do so in Bridge, but also I never use that program. Never got into Bridge's workflow. >
I really do suggest that you re-visit Bridge especially the CS4 version.
I just cannot conceive of trying to use a Digital camera, a Scanner or the Creative Suite programs without using Bridge and ACR.
I can even use it to read PDFs and inDesign documents (all pages!) without opening Acrobat or InD..
>I usually keep a "work" window open with all the files I am using for a project, so it would be far more handy to be able to skim them in the Finder.
It is now far more effective and efficient to do that in Bridge than in the Finder.
This is where you would find the new Collections feature to be invaluable:
Just select all the images and other files connected to a project from any folder and drag their icons into the same Collection.
You then have all aliases (previewable at full-screen slide-view size with one click of the space bar in CS4) to ALL of your files which are now visible in. and openable from, a single panel.

Updated iPhoto last night...Now, can't copy/paste or drag/drop images to folders/thumb drives outside of iPhoto

As the title states, I updated iPhoto last night as per suggestion from the App store.
It installed, and I went back to work using it. Within a few minutes, iPhoto crashed. I sent the report to Apple.
When i opened iPhoto back up, it said it found inconsistencies and needed to repair. so i let it repair, which took a while...when it was done, i went back to work editing some photos from a recent shoot. It almost crashed again while i was working and then it came out of it. Anyways, i shut down everything after a bit of work and all was good in the world...until this morning.
I went to get the images out of iPhoto and onto a thumb drive, but it wouldn't let me. I selected 50 images, copied them, and went to paste in the folder on the thumb drive...but it only pasted 10 of the 50 images. so i tried dragging them all and dropping them into the folder. nothing happened. it has done this to me once before, and when it did, i restarted and tried again and it worked...this time, i restarted and tried again and it kept doing the same thing. so i shut it down, did a cold boot, got everything back up, and tried again...still doing the same thing.
It seems like every time i do an upgrade to iPhoto it causes some kind of problem. it never crashed on me until i did the first update, and since then the stability has been a real issue.
So anyways, i didn't have a lot of time this morning before i had to go to work to try to figure this out, BUT, i did notice that it would allow me to drag and drop 1 image at a time...and that would save to the folder i selected...but i don't have time to do 1 image at a time...EVER! i am a photographer and need to drag and drop hundreds of images at a time.
Can anyone help?
thanks!
Joe

Thanks for the response, Larry!
I will try that when I get home and see if it works. Will update the thread with the results then.
I hope it works as you described, but it is/was so much easier to just be able to select the photos in iPhoto and drag/drop them directly into the folder on the thumb drive...it's odd it doesn't work anymore...?

Drag & Drop Images Between Tabs?

Hi, Forgive me if I am missing the obvious but I need some help.
Just got myself an iMac and I am in the process of getting it set up how I like it, Made the move from a Windows PC where I used the FireFox browser.
My plan had been to just use Safari on my Mac to take advantage of all the good things like handoff, keychain etc with my other iOS devices.
Now here is my problem, I use eBay a lot and I upload extra photos to hosting sites, then drag and drop them from that tab into the description on the eBay tab.
However Safari does not seem to allow this, When trying to drag the images between tabs I just get a green + symbol which replaces the tab whereas when I use FireFox to do the same the other tab essentially "opens" allowing me to drop the image in.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or a work around? I have tried the "Copy image" option but when I paste it in I just get a broken image picture.
I should say the OS X version of FireFox works fine so it must be something to do with how Safari handles it.
Hopefully somebody can advise?
Many Thanks
Craig

I have found a slight work around in that if you use a new window instead of of a tab, then shrink it down you can drag and drop images.
But surely there has to be a way to do it between tabs?
Basically I am looking for a way to have the tab open when it is hovered on instead of the green + button appearing...

Drag & drop; image degradation; preview for web screen

Hi. I'm a photographer and was wondering how to enforce a no
drag and drop option for each of my images on my page. I'm also
having problems with dragging an image from the desktop to my
template and the image not transfering over well, i.e. it looks
flat with a lack of contrast. And last question, when I apply the
preview for web page from DW, my sample does not include the
photograph, just a small box with a ?. Any solutions? Thank
you!!

Can't drag & drop images from Windows Explorer into Elements 7

Hi...
I'm a Photoshop Elements 7 newbie... I can't drag and drop images (jpeg, tiff, Olympus RAW) from Windows Explorer (file explorer and not IE) to Photoshop Elements like I can in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2? It also works in Corel Painter IX.5 & ArtRage 3 (except for RAW)... My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... I've uninstalled and re-installed Elements but to no avail. I've also tried to run Elements under various compatability modes but still no luck....
Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts...
Thanks kindly
Ken

"I just remembered: If the Editor or Organizer are "running as administrator", then you can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer. To see if you're running the program as administrator right click the desktop icon or Start Menu item you use to launch PS and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab, is Run This Program As Administrator checked? (Note that in Vista and Windows 7, running a program as administrator is different than running it in an account that's a member of the Administrator's group.)"
I wasn't running the program as administrator so I enabled that compatibility property applied it then disabled it. It seems to work now. I thought I'd add this to flesh out the previous answer. I didn't open the program in between the enable and disable, so it is a quick process. Also, I am using windows 8.1 and had to open the file location in order to do this. Right click on the tile then choose 'open file location'

Drag & Drop image of currently playing song causes the Spotify window to "jump" to another position

When I try to drag and drop the image of the currently playing song (the one that appears under the playlist list, on the left side of the screen), the entire Spotify window jumps (i.e. moves/repositions) inside the screen to a totally different position, making it impossible to drag the song to the intended playlist. It seems that the the window is moved to the current mouse cursor position (i.e. the left top position of the window becomes the mouse cursor position, with an offset). When I reposition the window again manually, and try to do the same thing, it doesn't happen. I have been able to reproduce this issue a 100% of the times: I just refocus a few other windows I have open and then try to add the currently playing song to a playlist in the afore mentioned way.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Problem drag/dropping photos to other Apps (e.g. PowerPoint).

I just got a new camera (FujiFilm FinePix S5700) and the photos from this camera can't be drag/dropped to other apps. If I try it I get the error message "Quick Time and a Tiff decompressor are needed to see this picture"
That puzzles me because the file info shows the pictures as being jpeg files. If I export the photos somewhere else I can drag/drop them into other apps, but not directly from IPhoto. I have had photos from two other cameras and have not had this problem. Any ideas?

Craig:
Try this test. Import a photo from the camera to the desktop first and then import into iPhoto. Now see if that photo can be dragged into another app. They do have a jpg extension on the file name, right?
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

No longer able to drag & drop to desktop..

I was hoping someone here could help me.
My son thought he (we) would like to try a new finder type app.
I told him (after 2 days) that he could do this on "his computer" not mine.
Once he removed the application and put everything back in order.........
I no longer can drag & drop images to the desktop?!?
He has no clue and I am praying that someone with smarter skills than me can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Move the com.apple.finder.plist file out of your users /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop, OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon, select Relaunch, and see if that fixes the problem. If so, delete the moved file and reset your other Finder preferences. If you don't remember how you had things, check the Finder's preferences via Finder->Preferences. If this doesn't fix the issue, create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists there.
Once you resolve the issue, ban your son from your computer.

Don´t allow drag&drop

In my app you can drag&drop images from the file system
into air. but now I want to forbid to drag and drop the image
inside the application. now I get this error message when dragging
images inside my app:
"TypeError: Can't get property length from null value"
and when I browse for images and then drag them inside my app
I get this error message:
"ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/nativeOnMouseMove()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/onMouseMove()"
so, how can I forbid to drag images inside my app or just
solve these errors?
Thanks a lot!

sorry, but...I don´t know how to do this...
here´s my code for drag&drop into the app:
window.htmlLoader.addEventListener("nativeDragDrop",function(event){
var filelist =
event.clipboard.getData(air.ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT);
var elem = null;
var name = null;
if (filelist.length) {
for (var f = 0; f < filelist.length; f++) {
name = filelist[f].name;
elem = document.getElementById('list5');
elem.innerHTML += name;
function preventDefault(event){
event.preventDefault();
}

Drag & Drop not working

I can drag a selection of images on my powerbook to my desktop perfectly. However, on my Quad, it won't work. Any ideas?
thanks!

You can only drag&drop images that have previews.
Make sure on your Quad you have previews on.

Shared library aggravation -- flags and drag/drop broken

I've got a MacBook Air. My wife has a MacBook. Both are running OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.2.1 (most recent update of iPhoto '11). And shared photo libraries are driving us nuts.
My wife wanted to grab a few photos from my iPhoto library. I figured this would be simple... enable sharing in the preferences, click the shared library in the source list, and "it just works." Nope. To be clear, I'm talking about libraries shared over a network, using the setting in iPhoto's preferences. There are several oddities with the way shared libraries work that are just awful. I really hope I'm just doing something wrong.
1. Flagging. iPhoto will let you flag photos in a shared library... but they don't appear in your flagged photos in the source list. You can't create a smart album from them. You can't create a album from them. You can't create an event from them. You can't search for them. In fact, near as I figure, you can't really do anything at all with those flagged photos in the shared library, other than toggle the flag overlay.
So, iPhoto lets you flag photos in the normal way in a shared library, but doesn't collect those flagged photos in the normal way. This is probably the worst possible scenario. My wife happily flagged photos in a large albumn of mine for an hour. Then, she couldn't understand why those photos weren't collected in the Flagged section of her library's source list. She would have to go back through all 1,700 photos to find the ones she wanted again. She. Was. ******.
2. Ratings. Same as above. iPhoto will let you rate photos in a shared library, but that rating seems to affect only the rating overlay image. Disconnect from the shared library, and your ratings disappear (so do your flags).
3. Drag/drop is broken. You can drag/drop images from the shared library to the local library. But you cannot drag/drop from the shared library to the desktop (or elsewhere in Finder). This differs from the standard iPhoto behavior, where drag/drop from iPhoto to any folder works.
These things are problems. They're problems because shared libraries look just like the local library. When the user interacts with them, they should act like the local library.
Do shared libraries work similarly for others? Are my wife and I just "lucky" here? Or are these bugs in iPhoto?

Sorry, I was a bit ranty last night.
I'll ask a more specific question: do you see the same behavior when you connect to a shared library? That is, can you toggle the flag overlay and set ratings, both of which appear to do nothing and do not persist after disconnecting?
Our iPhoto libraries are large (>10k photos each) and have been upgraded across multiple versions of iPhoto. I'm wondering if there's something broken on our specific Macs, or if this is really an iPhoto bug.
