[Solved] Dophin 4.8 doesn't drap and drop to remote locations

I think I've found a really really minor bug in Dolphin: When I try to drap and drop a file from one tab/window of Dolphin locally, it always works and presents the expected dialogue to decide whether I want to move, copy etc. But when the source is local and the target remote (namely, a samba computer) it doesn't. The reverse (remote to local) works. Has anyone noticed it before? Can anyone reproduce it?
Thanks

[SOLVED] Thunar 1.6 doesn't drag-and-drop with the right mouse button

Hallo all.
It might be something I've done (though I did delete my ~/.config/Thunar directory before upgrading), but Thunar doesn't let me drag-and-drop with the right mouse button, thus stopping me from copying something instead of moving it, etc. Has anyone else had that too?

Could be right-hand user
Come on! Read what GordonGR wrote!
Microsoft Windows, Nautilus, the Haiku Tracker, and probably many other file managers have a feature where, when you right-click or middle-click and drag an icon to a new location, a pop-up menu appears and asks what you'd like to do (Move, Copy, Link). I thought I used to use this feature in Thunar too but it seems to have stopped working in recent versions. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
EDIT: Here's random blogger talking about the feature in an older version of Thunar: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?p … and-tricks So that's good, I wasn't just imagining the feature.

Drag and drop from remoter server

Drag and drop from remoter server I get this<img src="../My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/4coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc="http://www.jonsered.ws" /> what I want is this <img src="http://www.jonsered.ws/coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc= />
the first one does not work on the web
How is this done?

When you click on a file (drag & drop) in Remote Server panel, DW GETS the file and places it in your Local Site folder.
Your local site is defined in DW as ./My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/. Hence the path name change.
Make sense?

I'm currently using Linux Fedora system.
Doesn't matter. There's no standard way for D&D on Linux, no single API.
Every application has its own mechanism which may or may not be compatible with any other.
Gnome and KDE groups are doing some work to provide a common standard but as you know the Linux zealots are completely opposed to anyone telling them what to do (such as creating standards) and won't in general follow them.

Complicated drap and drop

Hello, I am trying to do something with my drag and drop game
that is too complicated for me to find on any tutorial.
I am trying to set it up so that when the item is being
dragged and it is over the correct drop area, the item blinks
(which I have animated on the 2nd frame and beyond in each item).
The problem is, I can't seem to run a hitTest while the item is
being dragged, or onPress of the item. I have even tried to set an
interval so that my indicator function runs every 50 milliseconds.
I have included the sample script below, if anyone could help me it
would be greatly appreciated.
//------//var intervalId:Number
function indicator(item,labels){
if(eval(item).target_mc.hitTest(eval(labels).target_mc)){
eval(item).gotoAndStop(2);
//-------//intervalId = setInterval(indicator, 50);
function labelsTest(item,labels){
eval(item).stopDrag();
if(eval(item).target_mc.hitTest(eval(labels).target_mc)){
eval(labels).gotoAndStop(2);
eval(item).enabled=false;
eval(item)._visible=false;
counter++;
if (counter==7){gotoAndStop("continue");
item1_mc.onPress = function () {
item1_mc.startDrag();
item1_mc.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
indicator("item1_mc","label1_mc");
item1_mc.onRelease = function () {
labelsTest("item1_mc","label1_mc");
}

Allright, the reason why I am setting them as strings is
because I have a lot more movie clip(draggable items) than I
included the code for. I have tried a couple of your suggestions
and it doesn't seem like the hitTest is operating at all while the
mouse is pressed. here are a couple things that I have tried
function indicator(item,labels){
if(eval(item).target_mc.hitTest(eval(labels).target_mc)){
eval(item).gotoAndPlay(2);
function labelsTest(item,labels){
eval(item).stopDrag();
if(eval(item).target_mc.hitTest(eval(labels).target_mc)){
eval(labels).gotoAndStop(2);
eval(item)._x=eval(labels)._x;
eval(item)._y=eval(labels)._y;
eval(item).enabled=false;
eval(item)._visible=false;
clearinterval(intervalId);
counter++;
if (counter==7){gotoAndStop("continue");
item1_mc.onPress = function () {
item1_mc.startDrag();
item1_mc.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
var intervalId:Number
indicator("item1_mc","label1_mc");
intervalId = setInterval(indicator, 50);
I have also tried to set my interval like this
intervalId = setInterval(indicator("item1_mc","label1_mc"),
50);
Thanks a bunch for your feedback on this,

Drap and Drop between MS-Word and a Java-Applet

Hi,
i've read that it is possible to drag a text in an applet and to drop it on a word document. Somebody know if it is possbile to do it the other way round ? To drag a text within a word document and to drop it on an applet.
thanks a lot

How about dragging text from Word and dropping on JTextArea? Check the source of VietPad (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vietpad) for a working example.

How do i drap and drop files onto my juk drive

How do i drag and drop files and photos into my lexar juk drive?

You do only get an alias appearing for the files that you want to burn. But when you click on the Burn icon in the Finder sidebar, the files will be burnt to the disc.

DW CS5 allow visual design (drap and drop?)

Does DW have a feature to allow one to visually design by dragging objects onto the form? For example, there are visual elements of buttons and lists, table that I just click and drag onto the form? if so, what is the process/steps to get that turned on or to see those features? Thanks.

Hey Brad,
What I would like to do since I am not so skilled with HTML/CSS is to use Fireworks to layout webpages visually by dropping those components onto form. I would do better by visually designing a look and feel. Once I have done that in Fireworks, does that export into HTML/CSS so that it can be worked with in Dreamweaver for fine tuning?
To further expand what I am wanting to do is that years ago I had used Adobe GoLive that allowed me to just drag and drop html components (buttons, text boxes, lists, images, etc) right onto form. How can I do that in Dreamweaver? Maybe Fireworks isn't the right program to use. I guess I am asking to what happened to that type of features of drag&drop that was in the Adobe GoLive product?
Thanks...

Using drag and drop in remote desktop on windows server 2008

we running an application on windows server 2008 terminal services .. this application was support drag and drop functionality .. i understand that terminal services on windows 2008 is supported to drag and drop but is not happening !! even when i run remote desktop connection on this server the drag and the drop is not working !
i need to enable the drag and drop for windows 2008 terminal services ..
Thanks in advance

Hello Ayman,
If your requirement is to drag and drop files between local and remote sessions, Danny is right. Drag-and-drop feature is not supported in Windows Server 2008-based Terminal Server, which is a by-design behavior hard-coded in the current version of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
As a workaround, I recommend you to use copy-and-paste function instead of drag-and-drop. To enable the copy-and-paste between local and remote session, please enable the clipboard redirection in Windows Server 2008-based RDC. (In Windows Server 2003 environment, local drive redirection is needed.)
Hope it helps. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Lionel Chen

Why doesn't drag and drop work?

I want to re-arrange files on my desktop. When I use 'drag & drop' the file I moved just snaps back to its original location. How do I get 'drag & drop' to work properly?

Hi Probie 1983!
Nope, there are no such options/menu items in my menus, and I did not click 'Arrange By' as you stated.
My version of Lion came with the Mac Pro I purchased; it was not an upgrade, so maybe that's part of the problem.
I'm going to call Apple and use the support 'contract' I purchased when I bought the MacPro. I'll let anyone know what they say if there's an interest.
Cheers,
Dave P.

How to take a screen shot automatically and from a remote location

Hi,
I have a Desktop, a Video Analyzer with Windows XP, and a Laptop, also running Windows XP. What I would like to do is take a screen shot from the Video Analyzer while running the LabVIEW VI from my laptop.
I have found this, which gives me insight into the complexity of a print screen call, but this is really only if LabVIEW were running on the system from which my screen shot is desired. For this post, that is not the case.
If you have a solution or even just a vague idea or comment, please do not hesitate to post. I appreciate any and all feedback on this topic.
Thank you for your time.
Jake Brinkmann
Electrical Engineering Intern

Thank you for your response. I would like to aviod using outside software in this. I'm sure that TightVNC is great, and it would probably work. I would, however, just like to do this using labview and labview only. Maybe it isn't possible but I really would like to do it entirely in labview. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them even if they, too, have outside software involved.
Thanks again Joseph

Move equipment: drag and drop to new location

Hello,
We are using CC04 to move/ copy equipment to a new location. When we copy a equipment and put to a new location it does not include the sub equipment.
Is there a quick and easier was to move or copy equipment to new locations and include everything to go with it: (BOM, Configuration, address, partners, document..etc.). In addition is there a way to copy functional location with all the equipment/subequipment and copy/move to new location.
Thanks.

How to I drag and drop from Customize Add On using a Wireless Mouse on a Laptop?

I have been assisting a friend in installing Firefox. I have added Add On, but I cannot drag and drop them into the toolbars on the top. The tiny weenie add on tool bar stinks for those of us who are older and have weakened eyesight. How Can I Drap and Drop into the Toolbars on the Top using a laptop without a mouse?

PS. I also tried drag-and-dropping to Photoshop, and it doesn't work either.
I did more research online, and the more I research this, the more it seems that the LIGHTROOM DRAG AND DROP functionality works on MAC but not on PC...
If it is the case, this would be a major annoyance.
Some people said this feature worked on PC in Windows Vista.
I tried running LR in compatibility more (Vista SP2), but this did not fix the issue.
I am starting to wonder if this is a problem with LR running on WINDOWS x64 systems... (I am running WIN7 x64)

Photoshop won't drag and drop.

I've been using photoshop cs6 Extended for almost a year now and never have had any problems with it. Recently however, I purchased a desktop with Windows 8, and when I reinstalled Photoshop on that, I have had problems since. When I move to drag something onto photoshop (Whenetheir it's from the internet or a folder on my Computer), A black Stop icon that represents my mouse refuses to let me. I can still open files normally with the "Open" tab in Photoshop I've already tried the following:
Running as both adminstrator and non-adminstartor
Made sure "Clip thumbnails to document bounds" is checked"
Resetting Photoshop Preferences
Made sure none of files I wanted to drap and drop were "Read only"
In addition, When I'm moving files, the background for some reasons flickers. I would really appreciate anyones help! Once again, My OS is Windows 8 and my Version of photoshop is cs6 extended.

My Radeon 7470 display driver is up to date. Running with Basic Preformance in photoshop doesn't seem to help etheir. Do you have anymore suggestions? I deeply appreciate any help I can get!
ATI has been struggling to make good drivers, since about August of last year. I don't know if they're feeling the financial crunch (I've heard AMD isn't doing that well), or if they lost someone good from their development organization, or what, but their recent driver releases - including the Catalyst 13.1 release - have problems.
My suggestion to you is to uninstall ATI Catalyst entirely, seek out version 12.8 from last year (it's on their web site), and install that. I find it works much better with Photoshop CS6, and I've heard from some using Windows 8 that it's even working better in some ways for the new OS in general than the most current version (Catalyst 13.1 as of the time of this writing). If it doesn't help, there's no problem with upgrading back to the current version again.
Good luck.
