Drag drop files always in temp\VMwareDND which is a symptom of the problem?

I realized for the first time as the files that are Drag'n dropped from OS X to Windows VM apparently first go to ~ \Appdata\Local\Temp\VMwareDND.

I noticed this only because:

I dropped a WORD DOC file on the WINDOWS desktop.  I then opened it in MS WORD.  When I tried to make a BACKUP-from Word, the target folder that appeared in the Save dialogue was... \VMwareDND, no office!

This DOC file is still in VMwareDND.

Out of curiosity, I tried to drag / drop files more. These files later are NOT now in VMwareDND. But the first file I have slipped and fallen still exists in VMwareDND.

Why does the first file in VMwareDND like the rest of the files?

Was there a problem that the file has been copied from OS X to WINDOWS?

Should I be worried that maybe the file was not copied correctly? This file was only a 5 page doc, but I am concerned about large binary files.

Fusion 3.0.0 OS X 10.5.6 Windows Server 2008.

Hello

As the files that are drag ' n dropped go via the folder %TEMP% windows is by design.

It also means that if you try to DND a file that is larger than the space available on the unit that contains only your temporary folder will fail to copy.

If I remember correctly you can get around this by changing the file folder in your installation of windows to use another drive.

In regard to the original not getting file not deleted, it is difficult to say. Don't have youby accident registered there in MS Word?

It could be a bug that animates its not deleted in the temporary folder after copy successful using DND, but it is not a great problem because the temp folder is deleted when you select 'Disk cleanup' in the context menu properties under.

There are also opportunities under profiles to delete the contents of the temp folder when you restart your guest.

Hope this helps,

  • problem with him drag / drop files or folders

    I used to be able to drag and drop files or folders to another folder and the original would not be removed from its original location IE. It has just been copied.  Now when I drag a file or folder, it is removed or cut from its original location.  How can I change this setting?

    Hi djplexus,

    If you drag an item between folders that are located on the same hard drive, then the items are moved so two copies of the same file or folder is not created on the same hard disk. If you drag the item to a folder that is located on a different hard disk (for example, a network location, for example), or on removable media like a CD, then the item is copied. In this way, the file or folder is not deleted from its original location.

    If you are unable to delete the classic method, I suggest you contact PC Pitstop for assistance because it is their software. Third-party manufacturer software is outside limits of HP support.

  • Why don't I do drag and drop files in folders?

    Good so since I've reinstalled my computer I got in trouble on him drag / drop files into any kinds of files. I am able to copy and paste, delete and drag the files that were on my desk and move them, but I can't move all files in a folder. So I'm able to move anything in folders and desktop, but not able to move them to another location, unless if I copy and paste. I scanned for malicious things, did all the tests of virus and other things and still nothing. I searched on how to solve this problem, but nobody seems to have a problem like mine. Maybe a few, but none of the answers that were given on other forums for other people has not worked for me. If anyone can help me? And yes I checked if the box for customizing the taskbar if the drag and drop was allowed and he had checked them already. Please can someone help me?

  • CC or CS6 - drag / move files in the files window, view local?

    Venus the excellent Golive, I always had to make compromises with the problems of this kind in DW CS5. A they add this feature to the latest versions?

    TIA

    If your site is correctly set and all files are in your folder DW of Site Local, you can drag & drop files in different subfolders using your Control Panel files (F8).  When you are prompted to update the links, press YES.

    However, you cannot drag and drop files that are not already in your Local Site folder.  To do this, you must use the file manager of your operating system.

    That answer your question?

  • Drag / drop function not available? Adobe XI

    We went just to XI of the 8. We use the drag and drop function to merge several pdf files. This function is no longer available?

Any direction would be much appreciated.

  • I was sent a .ai file to edit, but when I opened I have retrieve the document contains PDF objects which have been reinterpreted.

    When I click ok I get a screen full of "this is an Adobe Illustrator file that has been saved without PDF content. Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit. This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator which appears when you save the Adobe Illustrator file using Save as command. "over and over.

    This isn't a PDF file, is a file I. It comes from an organization that it has provided on their Web site for others to download and customize which makes me think that the problem is on my end. If I go up to the file and the location and file and can see the graphics on the screen preview, then 'upgrade' gives me just another complete display of PDF content subsections.

    What can I do?

    Most likely the files have been saved in a newer version you are using.

    Illustrator in this case does not include the part of the file. Seeks PDF part, what is not there, which is why you see this error.

  • 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
