Some users drag and drop to outlook turn to links instead of attachments.

Hi it seems that some of our users when they drag and drop a file from sharepoint it turns into a hyperlink rather than an attachment. This is a problem since if we send the file externally that person would not be able to access that document.
Any ideas as to why this could be happening?
Thanks in advance,

Is this from a SharePoint Document Library -> Drag file to Outlook?
Is the SharePoint site in the "Intranet Zone" of IE? Or are they using different browsers? For example, this works fine for me in Internet Explorer 11 with Outlook 2013, but does not work with the latest version of Chrome and Outlook 2013.

Drag and Drop in Outlook 2010

Can you drag and drop an email into a folder or will it cause issues and possible corrupt the emails?

I can't remember where I found this, but if you repeatedly press Esc. Hey Presto - Drag 'n' Drop starts again. This works both in Outlook and outside in windows explorer.

Thank you for that one

Move a user, drag and drop

Hi,
I have created new nodes in PPOMA_BBP and will drag and drop users from other nodes to the new node.
will the users take on the attributes of the new node or hold what they had? i.e. are the attributes (co code, plant) determined by the user or the node? or will I have to change the attributes manually after I have moved the user?
Thanks

Hi,
In addition to Vinay's remarks and my previous reply let me make you clear on few things :
1. Using BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE txn. by inputting the business partner number you can check for the inconsistencies for object existence, object links, address consistency, attribute supply etc. All the options there should show Green traffic light.You can try repairing the inconsistencies by clicking on the Start repair icon.
2. In case the inconsistencies are irrepairable use USERS_GEN txn to delete employee assignment and reassigning the user to Org.unit.
3. As your requirement is to deassign users from one org. unit to other org. unit (for example from one P.Org to another P.Org / one P.Group from another P.Group) even though you drag and drop user can not create new follow on documents from the previous shopping carts as the user no longer belongs to the old Org. unit.
So its not because of USERS_GEN txn. user will not able to assign the SCs but because of change in Org.Unit assignment which further changes the user attributes.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

IE8 drag and drop in Outlook Web App OWA is not working

I'm having trouble identifying the cause behind an inability to drag and drop emails between folders in OWA (Exchange 2010).
The problem PC is running fully up to date 32 bit Windows XP SP3 with IE8. When I try to drag and drop an email all I see is a black stop symbol. On another PC with the same spec, logged in with the same user account, I can drag and drop emails fine between
folders in OWA.
I've tried clearing browser cache/history etc, resetting the browser to factory defaults, re-installing the browser, reducing security in the browser to absolute minimum, re-installing Java, Silverlight, S/MIME (although I'm sure it doesn't use these).
Can anyone suggest anything else, or provide helpful links? I've been looking at this for many hours without any progress. If I even just knew what component/tool/feature IE is using when it does/doesn't drag and drop I'd have somewhere to start...
TIA.

I have this problem I heard there is a hotfix but I dint get the number, this affects any drag and drop options such as dropbox, sharepoint, etc..
When I get the number I will post it for you.
a work around is Chrome. but it has options for the html5 which is not present even in IE 10. :(.
technet sharepoint alert
I spent about three days on this and one IT guy and more than several Engineers at microsoft india, they are helpfull but not this time.
this works on server 2008r2 but not vista, I am guessing Windows 7.

Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.
Sue

Susan,
Try out the following things. These suggestions are
sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
behavior in iWeb.
1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
/"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
aBrowser.plist"
3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
Utility
4. Reboot machine
5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
kind of positive results from people having similar
problems.
I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
Hope you can help. Thank you.

Drag and drop JButtons between JPanels

I'm trying to write an application with some simple drag and drop for JButtons between JPanels. Instead of going through all the hassle with DragSourceListener, DropTargetListener etc, I was thinking about a simple MouseMotionListener which sets a boolean to true when the user is dragging, and let the other panel add a MouseListener which listens for a MouseReleased.
The drag part is working fine, however the drop is not; in fact, it doesn't register the release. However, when I click and release, it seems to register the release.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Code for Card:
public Card extends JButton {
public static boolean drag = false;
     public Card(ImageIcon icon, ImageIcon fullicon)
          addMouseMotionListener(new DragMouseListener());
     class DragMouseListener extends MouseMotionAdapter
          public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
               System.out.println("Drag register");
               drag = true;
}Code for the panel:
benchpanel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
          if (Card.drag && GUI.getInstance().findComponentAt(e.getPoint()) == GUI.getInstance().benchpanel)
               System.out.println("Drop registered");
          Card.drag = false;
});

Sorry for the double post. I had some experimenting done, and I come up with the following:
if (Card.drag && GUI.getInstance().benchpanel.getBounds().contains(e.getLocationOnScreen()))
     System.out.println("Drop registered");
}Here's the problem: The second part of the if-statement never seems to get true; if I write the following:
System.out.println(e.getPoint());
System.out.println(benchpanel.getBounds());
System.out.println(benchpanel.getBounds().contains(e.getPoint()));and i click in the upper left part of the JPanel, i get the following output:
java.awt.Point[x=9,y=13]
java.awt.Rectangle[x=210,y=420,width=400,height=108]
false- so for some reason, the bounds on the JPanel are totally messed up - any ideas on why?

Drag and drop items to document librarys in outlook

Hi guys,
I've seen other post regarding this but there was no answer for the practice drag-and-drop e-mails or documents to documents librarys inside outlook ??
can someone help me pls ?
thanks in advance

The best way to do this so that it is easy for your end users is to:
Step 1
Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
3.       Click on your top folder
4.       Click on Actions
5.       Open with Windows Explorer
6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
Step 2
Go to Start, Computer
1.       Click on Map Network Drive
2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
3.       Check Reconnect at logon
4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
*note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
Step 3
Open Notepad
1.       Type in the following:
“explorer z:” (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
2.       Click File
3.       Click Save As
4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
·         Save to the Desktop
When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery. The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.

               Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
               String uriStr;
               while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                   URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                   String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                   GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);
               }Thanks

Drag and Drop and save changes

I am attempting to make an application that gives users a vast selection of icons that they can drag and drop into their own area which act as links to sites once they are double clicked but when they are clicked a single time they bring up a panel which shows the name of the website, a video about the website, a link to the website and a description of the website.
Similar to this example except whenever any of the icons are single clicked they will bring up an information panel or link to the relevant site if they are double clicked:-
http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html
The drag and drop part is easy but I'm basically wondering what would be the best way to achieve this so that all data required is stored 'within' each icon? i.e. how can you store information such as a title and description within an icon so that it only appears once it is clicked and what would be the best possible component to use for the overall icon 'grid' and the icons themselves?
This may sound silly but I've only just started using Flex and I'm simply looking for suggestions.

Thanks my friend that helped me a lot and works well.
I have another question for you, if I want to allow the users to SAVE the positions of the links they add how would I go about this? What I mean is if a user drags and drops some icons from a tilelist on the right hand side to their own tilelist in their own profile area how will I allow these tiles to still be saved in the same position if the user closes then reopens the application? I want each user to be abler to create their own list of links and then save these for future uses.
Is there a simple way of achieving this or would it require a vast amount of coding?

Drag and Drop Files Onto EXE Icon

I was wondering if there is a way to have the user drag and drop files onto the .exe icon and this would initiate the program to do something with those files automatically?
For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly onto the PDF convertor icon on your desktop and it will automatically convert them all to PDF's, without the user even having to open the program.
Can this same type of functionality be done with a Labview EXE file?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you! That did it.
The only side note that I would include to others that are trying this is to make sure you have the "Pass All Command Line Arguments to Application" box checked in the "Advanced" section when you build the executable.

Drag and Drop file from a jsp to local machine

Hello All,
We have got a user requirement where, currently we have an attachment section in our JSP, where users are provided with the file download links,
as the user clicks those links the file download pop appears.
But now they ask for a drag and drop functionality, so that the link icon which they see on the JSP, if they drag it to there local machine, the file is downloaded
to the machine. Am not sure if it can be done from a web page. Any ideas if at all this is feasible. Or any direction where i can look through.
Thanks,

But the other way around of dragging file which is on server, to the local machine...even if i have applet.. not sure how will that work.Neither am I. Just check the documentation / forums associated with the UI framework in question. This forum is for JSP/JSTL only. I can only tell how to embed an applet or webstart app in JSP, but nothing more than that.
Any ideas around Activex stuff if any ?Terribly bad idea. It's a MS proprietary technology and it would work in only one certain webbrowser developed by the same company, so you would exclude about 40% of the world wide web population from using the functionality. Just use the standard technologies.

Drag and Drop isn't Working

For some reason drag and drop in the Finder isn't working. If I click on a file or folder it highlights, but when I hold the click and attempt to move it, it stays put. The cursor moves but it doesn't take the file or folder with it. So I can't reposition folders and I can't move them to other folders or the Desktop.

I restarted and the problem resolved itself. That's going to be a work around for others experiencing the issue but I'm not fully satisfied with that being the case. This only confirms there was some kind of bug in play and that the OS is vulnerable to these kind of issues. I'm hopefull Apple will look into this as one of Mac OS X's strongpoints is supposed to be its reliability.

Drag and drop in a vertical box

Hi
I was wondering if there's any sample out there that i can check where the user drags and drops the compoents in a verticle box layout and during the DnD operation the dragged component pushes all the other compones up or down depending on the direction in a smooth animated manner, including when the component is being resized.
I do know the Flex ObjectHandles by Marc Hughes component that's what im using right now but then again it does not cover this other requirement that i need.
Thanks.

for those interested (if there is), i've given up on leadselectionpath, and i draw my outline manually, by overloading paintComponent and using the getPathBounds method.
still, i don't know what leadselectionpath means... well, i guess i don't need to know, but if anyone want to share his knowledge...
