Drag and Drop in Lion

Drag and drop works in Lion? I installed vmware tools, but I can't drag files into the guest OS of the host OS as I can with Windows.

Hi VM32134,

Drag and Drop is now NOT supported for a guest of Lion. You can make a text copy and paste between your Lion guest and your host.

  • Drag and drop support with the VM mountain lion

    Hi all

    I recently got a new macbook pro (with retina display and the 16 GB and of course the SSD - very soft). I created a machine virtual windows 7 for my windows applications and I also wanted a separate VM to develop on with Mountain Lion, so I downloaded the Cougar from the app store and created an image of mountain lion. My only problem is that it doesn't seem to be any support for drag and drop between my host mountain lion and my mountain lion guest VM. If I try to drag and drop with my windows 7 VM, it works well, but not mountain Lion mountain lion.

    Does anyone know if there are a few settings that I can turn it on or if it is supposed to work? Furthermore, I am under Fusion 5.0.3 and am on MacOS 10.8.3 (on my host and the guest operating system).

    Thank you

    Hi Jeff,

    Yes it is a limitation having Mac OS X as a guest operating system. There are some other limitations as well as

    • SVGA only.  No chart 2D or 3D accelerated.
    • No unit.
    • No fullscreen multimon support.
    • No USB 3.0 support.

  • Drag and drop does not not in MacOS 10.7.5 EP 12 (Lion)

    I "copied" the icon of the editor of Photoshop elements 12 to the docking station.  When I drag and drop a photo (for example, JPG or NAVE) icon to the element editor icon in the dock, nothing happens - elements does not open.  The photo icon just "pops" in the folder I was dragging it since.  All previous versions of the components I used have behaved like any other Mac application and opened the photo (with a NAVE, the photo opened properly in the cab file).  Other Mac applications such as preview, open a file very well when she I do drag and drag the file on the application icon.

    I tried the same experiment with icons of the editor and organizer in my Applications folder and got the same results (the application does not open the file).

    I've skimmed through the preferences of PE to see if there was some kind of new preference for 'drag and drop' behavior, but found nothing.

    So, what don't get me?  How can I get 12 PE to open a file when I drag and drop a photo on the editor icon (or if I really, the Organizer) icon?

    Drag & drop works fine for me on 10.9

    Maybe you copied the wrong icon, the application is located in the support files.

    Applications > Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 > support files

    Locate the editor of Photoshop elements 12 in the Support files folder.

  • How drag and drop a picture into a shape of the object?

    On my old Lion system that I used to be able to drag a picture from iphoto in the shape of the object open in Pages.  I can't be able to do more.  The system changed?  I tried to use Inspector (under help), but it won't let me access the file of the photo on the right.

    You can drag and drop a picture in a form in v4.3 Pages ' 09, but this can be done in any version of v5 Pages. Quite different applications, as well as more recent Pages has lost about 100 features that were in its antecedent.

    Check if you have Pages ' 09 v4.3 in your Applications: iWork ' 09 file. If so, use it.

    Pages v5 requires that you select a shape, and then on the Image tab in the right panel, you choose Image, scale to fill fill, and then select your image for the background. You cannot select this image from the inside, but you can add text to the form that will appear on your image.

  • Anyone know why my iTunes songs don't drag and drop MP3?

    I just bought a Sandisk Clip Jam MP3 player.  (Sorry, Apple: my new Shuffle was too difficult to use without screen.)  I tried to drag and drop the music files I want on that to his library iTunes x 12 on my Macbook, but no sign appears when I do that, and they don't "stick".  I followed the instructions in the manual. Anyone have this experience with iTunes? Must be a good reason, but I don't know what it is. Thank you!

  • I have problems with gmail with firefox. Refreshing page is slow; Drag and drop files in email sometimes do not work.

    My problem is mainly associated with gmail. When I click on return to the Inbox after reading a mail, it takes a good few seconds while in the past, it was always instant.

    My other problem is drag them / move the files as an attachment in gmail. Sometimes it won't work and I have to use the manual icon attaches trombone. However, if I restart firefox and re - connect to gmail, it will work again.

    I also noticed that when you drag an image in the mail window, it will not become an attachment, but it will appear instead. Is there a way where I can choose to have inserted images as attachments rather than displayed in the mail?

    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Hi Guigs2,

    Thanks for your advice. I'm not sure what will happen if I change my profile. I'm afraid I'll be somebody else for those who know me.

    So I decided to try the second option on the plugin check. After I clicked on the link the message says that my version of firefox is not the last. I've updated it and so far I don't have drag and drop the problem but we will give it some time and see. This problem does not occur all the time but it happened a few times, so I guess I should try it for a while.

    Thanks a lot for your advice

  • Why is it I can't drag and drop to reorganize bookmarks?

    Drag and drop does not work to rearrange bookmarks in the toolbar bookmarks, window "Show all bookmarks", or in the bookmarks menu. I can 'Cut' and 'Paste' to rearrange things and works in all three, but it's the only way.

    I am running Windows 8.1 x 64 and Firefox 31.0

    Had a similar problem (could not drag the tabs or bookmarks, to reorganize their) with FF 32.0.3. Tried rebooting with the disabled modules, but it still doesn't work. Then tried deactivation and reactivation of hardware acceleration, and it began to work without restart. After the restart with active modules, it continued to work. Weird.

  • How to move several JPEGs from one file to another not to drag and drop.

    I'm a prolific snapper and need to move from an intermediate file jpeg images to a monthly file without the risks of drag and drop. Anything involving pictures would be useful.

    Copy / paste? What dangers drag and drop represent them?

    Your question is vague. Is it a complete folder of images? Or a selection from a folder of images?

    Some possibilities: Automator, Hazel, AppleScript, you can do even in applications like Lightroom if you wish.

    But hard to advise without some details.

  • 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).
