Why won't drag and drop work with Library Assets in Illustrator or InDesign?

I've read a couple of threads with people having this issue, some dating back to late summer last year. I tried the fixes offered up in the responses, but haven't had success yet.
All my programs are up-to-date, but I cannot drag and drop graphics from my library into InDesign or Illustrator. Photoshop is working fine.
Are there any actual solutions to this yet?

What kind of graphic are you talking about? In the Library panel (Illustrator) or CC Library panel (InDesign) graphics are identified with a small label to tell what their source is (Ai, ID, PS, SVG, etc.)
And even though you say you have the latest version, exactly what version of InDesign do you have? You can see it in the About InDesign choice under the InDesign menu (Mac) or Help menu (Windows).

  • Why does not drag and drop work?!

    Hello,
    I am trying to implent a drag and drop from a table to an icon representing a trash.
    The drop handler fails in converting the selected rows to a list:
    com.sun.el.MethodExpressionImpl@87d9c00d javax.el.ELException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
    Could you help me to understand why? Below are the details.
    This is the af:table:
    <af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1"
    value="#{bindings.MyView1.collectionModel}"
    rowSelection="multiple"
    columnStretching="last"
    horizontalGridVisible="false"
    verticalGridVisible="false" fetchSize="-1"
    autoHeightRows="6" width="190"
    disableColumnReordering="true">
    <af:column sortable="true" headerText="Entry" id="c1"
    align="start">
    <af:outputText value="#{row.Description}" id="ot1"/>
    </af:column>
    <af:dragSource actions="MOVE" defaultAction="MOVE"
    discriminant="delete"/>
    </af:table>
    This is the drop area:
    <af:image source="Images/empty_trash_32.png" id="i2">
    <af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.DropHandlerBean.dropHandler}"
    actions="MOVE">
    <af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
    discriminant="delete"/>
    </af:dropTarget>
    </af:image>
    This is the failing listener listener (the failing point is bold):
    public DnDAction dropHandler(DropEvent dropEvent) {
    DnDAction dnda = DnDAction.NONE;
    if (dropEvent.getProposedAction() == DnDAction.MOVE) { // delete
    RichTable table = (RichTable)dropEvent.getDragComponent();
    //determine the rows that are dragged over
    Transferable t = dropEvent.getTransferable();
    //when looking for data, use the same discriminator as defined
    //on the drag source
    DataFlavor<RowKeySet> df =
    DataFlavor.getDataFlavor(RowKeySet.class, "delete");
    RowKeySet rks = t.getData(df);
    if (rks == null) {
    return DnDAction.NONE;
    Iterator iter = rks.iterator();
    while (iter.hasNext()) {
    //get next selected row key
    System.out.println(rks.toArray().length); // the number of selected rows is ok
    List key = (List)iter.next(); // here gives: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
    //make row current so we can access it
    table.setRowKey(key);
    //the table model represents its row by the ADF binding class,
    //which is JUCtrlHierNodeBinding
    JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rowBinding =
    (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)table.getRowData();
    Row row = (Row)rowBinding.getRow();
    //delete row;
    row.remove();
    //activate animation
    dnda = DnDAction.MOVE;
    return dnda;
    thanks.

    I did try, I obtained this:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Why NullPointerException?
    I don't know if this helps, but consider that the collection model comes from a ViewObject built on three EOs with many fields, although the table only shows one column.
    This is the Iterator in my pageDef:
    <table IterBinding="MyView1Iterator" id="MyView1">
    <AttrNames>
    <Item Value="Cod1"/>
    <Item Value="Cod2"/>
    <Item Value="Cod3"/>
    <Item Value="Cod4"/>
    <Item Value="Description"/>
    <Item Value="Cod5"/>
    </AttrNames>
    </table>
    Any idea?
    I will see the Key content with the debugger.

  • Why cant i drag and drop from itunes library to iphone 3gs

  • 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.

  • Why cant I drag and drop into playlists

    I used to be able to drop and drag inrto playlists. Now I get a message which says press + button to add, but there seems no way of doing it. I'm using windows 7

    Apple Support Communities updatesI’ve tried the control-I route and then tried to locate the file without success. What I get as a file location starts with //localhost/C:/Users. It may also be useful to know that most/all the missing files seem to have been copied from CDs. I can’t be sure if it’s all because the whole music file has nearly 9000 entries! The ones that still seem to work were copied from an external hard drive.

    why cant I drag and drop into playlists 
                                    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
                                    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
                                    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
                                    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • Why can I drag and drop a file into A3, but not import it?

    With A2+ I've scanned images (Epson flatbed) and imported them as TIFF, JPG, PNG, whatever.
    Same scanner, software, and A3 refuses to import any of the above formats. However, I can drag and drop the image on a project and it works.
    Any ideas? I looked for relevant threads but didn't see any immediately.
    Thanks

    Image appears in import pane; I can assign metadata, click "import," wait about 10 seconds and it says "import completed with errors," though the file doesn't show up in project.
    I have to say it's inconsistent. I just spend 20 minutes trying to import a one scan in PNG, TIF, JPG formats, and eventually gave up and dragged it in as TIF.
    Just now, I tried importing it into a different A3 project, and the TIF worked. However the PNG (which I didn't drag into A3, still gives the above error.
    I can live with this as long as drag and drop works, but seems like a bug.

  • A drag and drop game with dynamic text response

    Hi,
    I am a teacher and my school has recently upgraded to Adobe Design Premium.  Our previous version was about 5 versions out of date.
    I teach A Level which requires students to create an Interactice Multimedia product.
    In the previous 6 years, I have taught students how to create simple drag and drop game with dynamic text responses.
    Since the upgrade to Actionscript 3.0 the dynamic text response has ceased working.
    When creating the game from scratch, I need to move to Actionscript 2.0 as 3.0 does not allow me to add actionscript to objects - I know and am sure that this is a better way of doing things, but I would prefer to keep working the way I am used to.
    I use a switch case statement which I have copied below to make the drag and drop work.  The objects I apply the code to work in that they can be dragged, however, my dynamic text box with a variable name of "answer" is no longer displaying the response when an answer is left on a dropzone (rectangle converted to a symbol and given an instance name).
    on(press) {
    startdrag(this);
    on(release) {
    stopdrag();
    switch(this._droptarget) {
      case "/dropzoneB":
       _root.answer="Well done";
       break;
      case "/dropzoneA":
      case "/dropzoneC":
       _root.answer="Hopeless";
       break;
      default:
       _root.answer="";
       break;
    Any help would be much apeciated.
    Thanks

    To drag in as3
    blie_btn is the instance of the object drawin on the stage. In AS3 you have to assign a even listener, in this case MOUSE_DOWN, and MOUSE_UP, as we want the drag to stop if the mouse is not clicked. Then we fire the functions, and tell the object to start drag.
    // Register mouse event functions
    blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
    blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
    red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
    red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
    // Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)
    function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
         var object = evt.target;
         // we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
         object.startDrag();
    function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
         var obj = evt.target;
              obj.stopDrag();
    if you want to make the text do what you want then something like this might work.
    In the function, you could add a text box onto the stage, give it a instance of something like outputText
    and then:
    outputText = ("Bla Bla Bla");
    (^Not sure if this will work exactly^)
    PS. I am currently a A-level student

  • Imac won't drag and drop

    I have a new iMac w/Mountain Lion and it won't drag and drop. I can't move folders or move files into folders. Any ideas?

    Please restart the computer and re-try. Also, going forward please provide a more descriptive paragraph of exactly what steps you have taken.
    With ANY new Mac you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. I'd STRONGLY recommend you use it and if you have not already bought AppleCare I'd recommend getting it.
    Finally please update your profile to show which iMac you have and which version of OS X is installed. This make helping MUCH MUCH easier for the volunteers that man this forum.  You can find instructions for updating your profile at

  • Drag and Drop objects with JavaFX properties

    Has anyone tried to implement drag and drop functionality with objects containing JavaFX properties? The issue I'm running into is that the objects appear to need to be serializable, and the JavaFX properties are not serializable. I can implement Externalizable instead of Serializable, and basically serialize the values contained by the FX properties, but of course I lose any bindings by doing this (as the listeners underlying the bindings are not serialized).
    The [url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/input/Clipboard.html]javadocs for Clipboard state "In addition to the common or built in types, you may put any arbitrary data onto the clipboard (assuming it is either a reference, or serializable. See more about references later)" but I don't see any further information about references (and at any rate, this doesn't really make sense since anything that's serializable would be a reference anyway). Is there a special DataFormat I can use to specify a reference in the local JVM so the reference gets passed without serialization?
    I know this might not make sense without a code example; I just thought someone might have come across this closely enough to recognize the problem. I'll try to post a code example tonight...

    Here's pretty much the simplest example I can come up with. I have a real-world example of needing to do this, but the object model for the real example is quite a bit more complex.
    For the toy example, imagine we have a list of projects, some employees, and we want to assign each project to one or more employees. I have a Project class with a title and assignee. (In real life you can imagine other properties; due date, status, etc.) I'll keep a ListView with a bunch of unassigned projects (titles but assignees equal to null) and then a ListView for each of the employees.
    To assign a project to an employee, the user should be able to drag from the "master" list view to one of the employee list views. When the project is dropped, we'll create a new project, set the assignee, and bind the title of the new project to the title of the project which was dragged. (Remember we want to be able to assign a single project to multiple employees.)
    So here's the first shot:
    A couple of simple model classes
    Project.java
    import java.io.Externalizable;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.ObjectInput;
    import java.io.ObjectOutput;

    import javafx.beans.property.SimpleObjectProperty;

         private final StringProperty title ;
         private final ObjectProperty<Employee> assignee ;
         public Project(String title) {
              this.title = new SimpleStringProperty(this, "title", title);
              this.assignee = new SimpleObjectProperty<Employee>(this, "assignee");
         public Project() {
              this("");
         public StringProperty titleProperty() {
              return title ;
         public String getTitle() {
              return title.get() ;
         public void setTitle(String title) {
              this.title.set(title);
         public ObjectProperty<Employee> assigneeProperty() {
              return assignee ;
         public Employee getAssignee() {
              return assignee.get();
         public void setAssignee(Employee assignee) {
              this.assignee.set(assignee);
         @Override
         public String toString() {
              String t = title.get();
              Employee emp = assignee.get();
              if (emp==null) {
                   return t;
              } else {
                   return String.format("%s (%s)", t, emp.getName()) ;
    }Employee.java
    import java.io.Externalizable;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.ObjectInput;
    import java.io.ObjectOutput;
    import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
    import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;

         private StringProperty name ;

              this.name = new SimpleStringProperty(this,"name", name);

    }If you try to drag from the list on the left to one of the lists on the right, it will fail pretty quickly and tell you that the data need to be Serializable.
    Simply adding "implements Serializable" to the Project and Employee classes doesn't work, as you find that SimpleStringProperty and SimpleObjectProperty are not Serializable. So instead I can use Externalizable:
    public class Project implements Externalizable {
    @Override
         public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
              out.writeObject(title.get());
              out.writeObject(assignee.get());
         @Override
         public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                   ClassNotFoundException {
              setTitle((String)in.readObject());
              setAssignee((Employee)in.readObject());
    }and
    public class Employee implements Externalizable {
         @Override
         public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
              out.writeObject(name.get());
         @Override
         public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException,
                   ClassNotFoundException {
              setName((String) in.readObject());
    }This makes the drag and drop work, but if you drop a project on one of the employee lists, then edit the project title in the master list, the binding is not respected. This is because deserialization creates a new SimpleStringProperty for the title, which is not the property to which the title of the new Project object is bound.
    What I really want to do is to be able to drag and drop an object within the same JVM simply by passing the object by reference, rather than by serializing it. Is there a way to do this? Is there some DataFormat type I need?

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • Why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

    why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

    To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
    The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac.  Need to reformat it using disk utility.

  • Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library

    Homesharing won't drag and drop songs onto a shared library. Both computers are authorized and both have "homesharing" turned on. Any help?

    Rather than dragging and dropping, try this.
    In the computer you're moving music to, select the home shared library you're moving music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Select the songs you want to transfer. Now click the "Import" button down in the the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen, as per the following screenshot:

  • Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

  • Drag and drop in iphoto library

    My MacBookPro from 2006 died this week so I got a new 2013 MacBookAir. I am a digital artist and my iphoto library contains over 13000 images in it which I work with daily. I had them in a specific order but when the files were all loaded onto my new Mac they are all in a huge jumble. I'm at wits end trying to figure out how to make sense of them. In my old iphoto I could drag and drop them wherever I wanted them. I'm not sure what I'm doing now. I don't seem to be able to drag and drop in the library like I used to. I used to ignore the events thing, I didn't like it. Now it seems like events are more important. I was trying to work with them but I have 13000 events too - I started out trying to merge them but it will take forever. This is a real problem for me, for one thing I had them ordered by what rights I had purchased and where I got them from - that's all lost now but I would at least like to get them in order of subject. Any help out there? Maureen

    You can sort manually in the Photos mode if you uncheck the option to view the Event titles in the View menu.
    You would be best served by using albums and keywords to group the images as you need them.  Smart albums can be created to display all images with a particular keyword assigned to them.  Makes for quicker access to a specific group.
    A little extra work up front can save a lot of effort later on.

  • How to drag and drop from shared library to iphone/ipad?

    Since our Mac Pro has more storage, that's where I keep our iTunes videos, to avoid taking up space on my wife's laptop. Sharing the libraries works ok, except for one issue.
    When my wife wants to put movies onto her iPhone or iPad, iTunes won't let her drag and drop them directly from the shared library. She can copy them just fine to her local library and from there to the devices, but that is cumbersome and takes up disk space.
    Please don't tell me it isn't possible because we did have it working for some time, I just don't know what's changed. The devices are set to "manually manage", drag and drop works locally, just not from the share.
    Thanks!

    Take a look at this tutorial: [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html]How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer.
    If you read it carefully and study the samples, I think you should get rid of your first question.
    Concerning the second question, you can overwrite the isCellEditable(int row, int column) method to return false. This will block any editing from the table.
    Hope this helped,
    Regards.
