Open dialogue box in Lion is not supporting drag and drop files (UPDATE)

This is freaking me out. Because now in Lion you can't drag and drop file from the desktop (and other folders!) to open dialogue box. It was most usefull function in Mac OS X. Why Apple kill usabillity?
Access to the desktop is not a problem (command + d), but if the current file is located deep in the hierarchy of folders, it becomes a big problem!!!
Dear Apple, please fix it as soon as you can.
UPDATE: Omg, I found the problem, it works only if I drad and drop file on the bottom panel, not in all open dialogue box area:

Interesting, this is the second time today I've seen this one come up. It does work, drag and drop works like crazy everywhere here. What does console say when it happens (or not, in your case)?

ITUNES 9.2 NOT SUPPORTING DRAG AND DROP TO TOAST CORRECTLY

APPLE is turning into MICROSOFT!!! The new iTunes update to 9.2 may be necessary for iPhone 4 to work but they missed a whole bunch of things. For example when I drag a track from my iTunes window to the desktop I used to see the file on the desktop with the artwork INCLUDED as the file's icon - now when I drag it the artwork is no longer included in the thumbnail nor when I hit the space bar to preview the track can I see the artwork - something I used a lot when I do my job reviewing music - sometimes 200 track per week so it has ruined my process of working with music files in large quantites.
Also - I always found that iTunes never correctly embeds the text info for each track into CDs whenever I used the program to burn CDs. Often when I am DJing in a club the text info would not show on the CD player screen. I found that Toast would do this perfectly everytime regardless of what model CD player I was working with. So I would grab an entire playlist from iTunes and drop it into the Toast window and simply hit burn.
NOW in 9.2 I can no longer select an entire playlist and drag it to Toast. I have to drag all the files out of iTunes, into a folder where the files sort themselves into random order so I then have to reassemble the playlist track by track in Toast - this takes 10 times longer or more.
By forcing these unwanted practices upon us APPLE is turning into MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I think what people have to realize is as updates come up, code changes. This therefore may not result in best compatibility with other software, and you have to admit, it's not Apple's responsibility to make sure every single other software is ready to work with a new version, it is rather the programmers of Toast, or whatever else you use. Apple needs to worry about their program alone.
Maybe Toast will release an update. Not to say iTunes 9.2 isn't due for further fixes. There are problems with the artwork viewer, artwork, and iPod syncing, but those will come in time. I really think this is just a consequence of Apple revamping their system (for example, to result in quicker performance for cover flow and grid view), and bugs and incompatibilities will always surface from that.
If you have any suggestions you can send them along with the feedback form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html.

[idcs4] flexui can support drag and drop ?

Hello, Everyone.
I'd like to implement treeview and drag and drop function.
I know that flex doesn't support drag and drop from flex to another application.
so, Indesign's flexui can support this funtion?
If that is possible, could you let me know.
thank you
Best regared,
Lion, J

Hello,
I have solved this problem.
in sdk, call drag & drop.
As a result, D & D has to be implemented.
Of course, between the two areas do not go very smoothly.in flex, use drag & drop,
Thank you.

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)? And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

My mp4 movie files used to transfer from computer to iPad but now they will not Tried dragging and dropping to iTunes library but won't work anymore Plse help

I have mp4 movie files that i am trying to transfer to my ipad and it will no longer work. They will not copy to my iTunes library. I used to be able to transfer/drag and drop converted movies to my iTunes are the mp4 files maybe too big Although I have plenty of space

Howdy Anastasia,
I was thinking about why the songs arent importing and I feel that its either, A) the format of the files has changed since you last imported them, or B) you may need to rebuild the iTunes library.
Here is an article about doing just that:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Re-creating the iTunes Library file
Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" or "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the Desktop. If neither is available, learn how to add files back to the Library (because the XML file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
Mac OS X
"iTunes Library" or "iTunes Library.itl"
Microsoft Windows
"iTunes Library.itl"
6. Open iTunes.
Important: Do not add any content into iTunes at this point (such as by purchasing something from the iTunes Store).
7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
8. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file on the Desktop.
Mac users: Click Choose.
Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.
Regards,
Sterling

Drag and drop files from Outlook move mails to delete box

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to develop a feature to be able to drag one or several mails from Outlook to my Java application.
As Java doesn't recognize a drop of an Outlook mail, in my program, I assume that if it's not a known file type, it is a mail. (I know it's quite straightforward).
When one or several mails are dropped I use a function from a plugin to get detail from the Outlook mails to import them into my application. In fact it import the data from the current selected mails in Outlook. This function is working perfectly when I use it without drag and drop (from a button 'Import' in the application).
My problem is that when I use drag and drop, mails are imported correctly but sometimes (not always) they are also moved in the delete box of Outlook. I have done several tests to try to figure out what is the cause. I have used several versions of Outlook, I have dropped 1 mail and several mails a the same time, etc...
Here are my tests results: it deletes the mails randomly but it seems to delete more often when my Java application isn't in full screen.
What could be the cause?
Another question: is it possible to configure my drop area to do copies only and not move? When you drag and drop you have a small symbol next to your mouse arrow. It is a '+' inside a square for copy and an empty square for move. My drag and drop does move by default. I could maybe avoid my deletion problem by changing it to copy?!
Cheers.
Edited by: Foobrother on Apr 16, 2009 2:46 AM

I think I have fixed it. I still have to make more tests, but it doesn't delete the mails any more for the moment.
In fact, when dropped item is detected as a file I do dtde.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);But if it's not, I just set a variable to say that it is an Outlook mail.
So I have added the line dtde.rejectDrop(); to cancel the drop. And now it seems to work.
Apparently, I didn't clean some stuff when doing an email drop and it still wanted to move the mail or something?!
Anyway, thanks for the help

Files Not Founds (Drag and Drop)

Hi everyone,
I have a 32gig Playbook, which was working just fine until I updated last night (the one with the video chat release). I can no longer view documents (like pdfs) and videos that I drag and drop into the Playbook. When I say I can't view, I mean the files don't even show up for me to click on like it normally does.
I have tried it on both Mac and PC, and it worked on both prior to the update. So, does anyone have a solution or an explaination as to why this is happening?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MisterClyde

Hello MisterClyde and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
When transferring the file, are you using the Desktop Software? Do you get confirmation the transfer has completed?
Not sure if you have tried the method listed in KB26068, but have a look. I was able to tranfser data using the new version and the transfer did complete for me.
If the steps in the article don't seem to work and you are still experiencing the issue, contact us at the number from the support site found here.

11.1.06.20 doesn't support drag-and-drop?

One of the major time-saving reasons to use ODT at all is the ability to drag a procedure from the Server Explorer (worked great in Oracle Explorer, what happened to that?) and have the OracleCommand automatically populated with all the parameters, etc. After upgrading to 11.1.06.20 and playign with it in VS 2008, I am very disappointed to see that this is no longer supported.
Are there plans to provide this support in the near future?
PS - Manually configuring all the parameters for all the table ins/upd/del commands is not a reasonable alternative.

Thanks for the response. Your link was indeed helpful and I'm very impressed with the drag-and-drop functionality onto the form. However, this doesn't really solve my problem.
Consider we have a table:
customer (
     customer_id number(14) not null,
     first_name varchar2(30) not null,
     last_name varachar2(30) not null
)We also have an update procedure:
customer_ins (
     in_customer_id in number,
     io_first_name in out varchar2,
     old_first_name in varchar2,
     cur_first_name out varchar2,
     io_last_name in out varchar2,
     old_last_name in varchar2,
     cur_last_name out varchar2
) is
begin
     select first_name,
               last_name
          into chg_first_name,
               chg_last_name
          from customer
          where customer_id = in_customer_id
          for update of first_name,
               last_name;
     update customer
          set first_name = io_first_name,
               last_name = io_last_name
          where custoemr_id = in_customer_id;
     select first_name,
               last_name,
          into io_first_name,
               io_last_name
          from customer
          where customer_id = in_customer_id;
end;This lets us know if another process changed the data while the user was looking at it, and can return that data to the application so the application can make decisions about whether to proceed. It also allows us to return to the application any changes to the data that may have occurred because of triggers.
When I try to set the UpdateCommand on the TableAdapter for my customer table, I can select the correct stored procedure from a list, but it doesn't create parameters for me.
Am I doing something wrong?
I tried adding the update procedure to my data source, and see it's added in a QueriesTableAdapter, but I don't see a way to reference that command from my customer TableAdapter, and the procedure in my QueriesTableAdapter doesn't have any parameters set anyway.
I would very much appreciate any direction.
Thanks

Drag and drop file into email gets me an icon, not the image. Is there a simple fix?

I am used to drag and drop image import into apple email. Recently I get a "mail attachment" icon for images that have been previously sent in other email. I would like to see the actual image in every email if possible. How can that happen?

Thanks for the help. Dragging the thumbnail onto the album tab works great. Too bad this was not a bit clearer in the previous posts.

Itunes 11 "add to library" not working (drag and drop too)

I just updated to itunes 11 and the add to library function is not working both manually and drag and drop. I used to be able to add a video to the itunes media file, click add to library, click the file and it would pull it in to itunes. None of this works including the drag and drop feature. The preferences folder is set correctly.....please help.
brock

It appears movies added to iTunes manually (not purchased through iTunes), are automatically put in the "Home Movie" media kind/category. I don't remember this kind in previous iTunes, but maybe it's just not one I used. I've seen where this is due to using MetaX, but I don't think so as "Home Movie" is not an option in MetaX. I cannot find any option in iTunes preferences to change this. Maybe Apple will change this in an update - I hope so. For now, I just go in and manually change this in the movie Info setting. I keep all of my movies in digital format, so this is a bit of a pain.

Firefox does not allow me to drag and drop files on FTP site anymore. It used to work before.

Hi. I have a Linux FTP server at a client's office. They used to use IE and I moved them to firefox. They could at one stage, drag and drop (upload) files and documents using only firefox and not a third party software. Somehow this stop working. Is there any setting in firefox that can be changed in order to allow drag and drop without using a third party software? This client is very fussy and does not want to use third party software, as the drag and drop worked before. This is their argument.

1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way.

Note 762640 - Drag and drop in Transaction PPOMA_BBP for SRM 7.0

Hi, All!
Does anybody know about analog for note 762640 for SRM 7.0,
Because the problem is:
If the position or the business partner of a user is assigned to a different organizational unit by drag and drop or by de-/assign in Transaction PPOMA_BBP, they become inconsistent because tables BUT050 and BUT052 are not adjusted.
Does anybody know about solving this problem ?

Hi,
In order to process the SC from Sourcing Cockpit, we should have the authorization for t-code BBPSOCO01 in our User roles.
So, you can chcek the z-roles in your system with this t-code authorization in SUIM and add to your profile.
Hope this helps.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''

Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''.
