avoid duplicates when drag and drop browser

Hello mac users,

as you may have guessed, I come from years of using windows,

Sorry if this question seems stupid to some of you,

but I couldn't really find an answer during a few hours on other forums.

What I would do is really basic:

-Drag and drop a photo from a browser (safari, chrome, same result) in a folder

-j' wait (or wants to) that when an existing file in the folder a dialogue pop up and ask me if I want to replace the existing file or to keep the two

~ but mac just keeps the two files and add a progressive number for the duplicate

This behavior is standard? is it possible to have something close to my expectations?

I found tons of answers about files merging and similar.

I'm really stuck on something more basic.

Thanks in advance for your attention!

Pier

I'm really the only one having this problem? ^^

Help me please!

  • Why creates shortcuts for Moving files when drag and drop the folder or file in another folder?

    I am using Windows XP SP3, just before I drag and drop the file into another folder in my windows explore. Suddenly, he is creating shortcuts for moving file. I'm not able to move the file by drag / move the mouse, it is possible that by cutting and Paste(Ctrl+X) using the keyboard. Why?

    Maybe your 'Alt' key is stuck.
    See exchanging the keyboard with another makes all the difference.

  • What browser supports the feature "Drag and Drop"?

    I would like to know what browser supports "Drag and Drop" function because I've tried IE, Opera and Chrome, and none of them worked.

    IE just opening the file when I do this, Opera asks if I want to download but when I click Yes, nothing happens and finally with chrome when I drop the file, nothing happens.

    Drag and drop works very well here in Chrome on Win XP and Win 7.

  • I want out emails in folders of ordinary files, but when I drag-and-drop, the "modification date" gets changed. How I can still see the date?

    To archive my e-mail files until I decided to switch to Thunderbird, I create regular folders in windows and drag and drop emails to outlook express in the appropriate folders. The "update" column displays the original date of the email... which is what I want to do with Thunderbird. In my view, that he treats it as a new file created today... that is not good for my archiving system of these professional work files that I need to find often in approximate date.

    I understand the forum that it is by default in Thunderbird. There is an add-on that can do what I'm doing?

    Thank you in advance,
    Netwon

    I think the reason what OE is the original date because each message is stored in a single file, while TB stores all messages in a folder in a file, an mbox file. Thus, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'modification date' corresponds to the eml file date was written in the mbox file.

    You can find the ImportExportTools add-on useful because it allows you to add the date of the e-mail eml file name when enamel is exported ("Save selected messages" of the message right-click menu).

  • When do drag and drop into Itunes, my original folder disappears

    Hello

    I recently moved to one old pc to another. My music library and the melodies are all ok and set.  When I used the old pc, I could drag a folder with music in there and drop it into ITunes.  ITunes and then implement these titles in the iTunes library.  Now when I'm on the new pc, the folder with the music she disappears from my pc as if he moved the contents of the iTunes folder and nothing left in the original spot I had music.  I'm all for backups and usually keep the same music in ITunes and a return to the top of file, but for some reason, if I drag and drop into iTunes, the original folder is no more.  How can I prevent iTunes to get rid of the original music file?

    Thank you

  • How to keep the spaces outside the files when you drag and drop them in a .bat file.

    I have a bat file, where I run a powershell script passing one argument which is a folder name. I added the file beats in my office, so I could just drag and drop a folder in the Explorer on the bat file.

    Works very well. With the exception of a killer detail. When I drag and drop a folder that has spaces, the process does not receive the full path. Space is causing the script to fail. Thus, for example, I can't drag & drop c:\program files\ in the bat file.

    Is there some setting in which case I can force drag & drop to use filename not spaced? Why don't the OS automatically in the argument with the quotes around it?

    In a command environment that it is practical common to surround with quotes of files names. If the names contain no spaces, then double quotes can be omitted. That is why your batch file should read

    PowerShell.exe myscript.ps1 "%."

  • I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    You can't manually rearrange files/images by dragging them in the folder in Windows 7. This change is design in Windows 7.

    Hi Nathalie,.

    You can drag and drop in the selector (so for example, under the E-mail section, click on "Open an existing email" and opens the selector). If you are looking for in the selector, you will not be able to drag and drop the results of research, but if you want and instead simply navigate through the selector by clicking, you can drag and drop assets into a folder.

    If you want to drag to 'up' in the hierarchy of folders, you can drag the item to the track "Breadcrumb" above the list of files (so if you are in a folder called work in progress, the "breadcrumb" will look like Test-> file Some-> other folder-> current folder), like this:

  • Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - grey area only when you try to create

    Hello

    I try to create drag and drop questions in presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question-> drag-and - drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc., the screen is just gray. Have the same problem on the three other systems as well.

    Flash is updated to the latest version as well as presenter 10.

    Oddly the Flash version installed is 15, but a right click in the grey box shows me version 11.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Just in case someone else has the same problem, a cat with Adobe brought the solution:

    On the gray screen, right click and go to global settings

    Go to the Advanced tab

    Scroll down and click on "trusted location settings.

    In the window 'Trusted location settings', click on 'Add' at the bottom

    Click on "Add a folder" and select "Local disk c".

    Click "Ok" and confirm on the "Trusted location settings" window

    Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm!
