Drag / move too easy to lose files

Some of my colleagues are a little loose with drag them and drop which means that files are lost by mistake.  I suggested that they do a right-click to get the possibility to cancel, but is there a place to force a pop-up window asking if you really want to say to move or copy an option?  THX

You can set it so that it requires a longer brake actually causes wildfire to occur.  Normally if you click and hold an icon, and begin to drag, you move 4 pixels before it actually starts dragging.  You can change this to a larger number so that it requires a very deliberate movement until it starts to drag.

Here's how.

ATTENTION: Always backup the resistry before making any changes. To do this in the registry editor, select file/export. In the scope of the export, all options you select. Save the file to the desktop. If something goes wrong, you can right click on this file to restore the registry.

  1. Press on the + R to bring up the Run dialog box. Type regedit.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. Navigate to the following key.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

  3. In the right pane, find the following.

    DragHeight and DragWidth. These two values will have a value of 4data.

  4. Right-click each of these values and select Edit. In the value data box, type 20 click OK.

You will need a Log Off/Log on to see the results.

Test the new setting to see if it works for you. If 20 does not work for you, increase the value 30, etc., until you find the setting that your satisfaction with.

  • 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.

  • Cannot drag move & on win7 x 64 programs

    Hello, I need help on why I can't do drag & drop of images/files on programs such as Photoshop CS5 / CS6 or images/files to other programs & browsers.
    I CAN do drag & drop under windows and folders, etc, but not in the programs. I read almost all the solutions found here and on Google without success. I went from keyboards and mouse still nothing, checked the settings in the menu start-star & options in IE8, cleaned the registry with ccleaner, I tried the keys ESC and combo but again without success.

    It is a new installation of Windows 7 ultimate with the latest drivers from the website or x 64. I have a Windows 7 x 86 as well (same setup with the x 64) and I can do all the drag & drop on it.
    This bothers me because I do a lot of hanging around in photoshop and other editing software.

    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Drag - move the question, please help.

    I can no longer drag and drop photos into photoshop elements 12.  When you work with a layer, I want to move a layer in a different existing file and no longer have the faculty.  The only way I solved the problem in the past is to uninstall and reinstall the program.  I have read the other posts of the forum and followed the instructions by resetting the preferences and it does not work.

    Someone at - it solutions to this problem?  Help, please!

    With the two files open, simpler to tiles side by side, you should be able to drag the layer from the source file in the target file. Measure where it shows the "gripping hand" you can release the mouse and you have to add the layer to the target.

    So what happens on your system now? When you drag the layer to the target which icon is displayed - "gripping hand", "no entry", something else?

    See you soon,.

    your handleDrop is called twice. you have assigned this twice - init function and the other online eventlistener.

    remove one and it works.

  • Identify too long to backup file names.

    Using Vista on my laptop and the complex file names are required because of the research that I do.

    When you run a regular backup to an external drive, I get an error message that some file names are too long for the files to copy, but no list of crime files is given.  I am informed to shorten them, but not how to identify them.
    Is there a quick way to find these files so that I can change the names?

    Hi John,.

    I just went to that link without problem using IE9 RC - but if you send you elsewhere to get the download, then maybe you'll have more success with the download page: http://www.parhelia-tools.com/products/pathscanner/Download.aspx.  It is the only near the top (or you can try the alternate).

    If specific filenames are not so long (assuming 260 is the number we need to worry and we are not quite sure of this), then it's probably the length of the path.  The path includes everything, like C:\Users\\Appdata\local\microsoft\temp\iooiee90939ntgngjoiga909ri4jt09049japgaopjgp\...\filename.doc and if this WHOLE thing is too long (260 or other), then it cannot copy or paste.  Chances are that these files were created by programs or automatically, not by you.

    My guess is that these are temporary files of IE (they tend to be very long) and if first delete you IE temporary files (Tools / Options / history / delete / don't check the Temp files and save them favorite boxes above, uncheck everything else for this test), then you find out that you don't really have the problem more.

    What is the external hard drive formatted in NTFS or FAT32 or FAT16?  If this isn't NTFS, I recommend that use the command convert to change to NTFS.  Not only is a better choice, but it can also solve this problem (although it's more a guess that based on specific research-, then it makes a difference with the size of the file and the file information, I saw say anything specifically made a difference in path length).  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Convert-a-hard-disk-or-partition-to-NTFS-format.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Dragging an asset in a PS file

    Since Photoshop 2015, whenever I drag a picture/asset/nothing to my working folder, the order of the day is always placed in the folder parent of above.

    For example, here's my folder structure:

    Background > folder 1 > layer 1

    Before, if I 'Layer 1' selected and drag a new asset to this file, it will place the new asset just above "Layer 1".

    Now, the new asset will be placed first point under folder 'Background '. I'm not sure why PS team decided to change this logic and it's very frustrating. When I have several nested folders, I need my asset to place exactly where I wanted to be... not just a random top folder.

    Is there a way to fix this? Or I missed a new feature added to solve this problem?

    It was supposed to be a novelty, but did not work the way that Adobe planned. They are relooking at it.

    I opened a document in illustrator and drag and item in the library and nothing appears in my library panel?

    Hi Ausmack,

    This is a problem known to the Illustrator team with a certain configuration of operating system (studied at the moment) the behaviour of drag - move in the design in artificial intelligence Library Panel does not work.

    Until then, you can try adding the asset using the buttons/icons that appear at the bottom of the Panel "libraries."

  • Drag / move - how to reset the feedback?

    Hello

    I have a drag and drop into a slide (Captivate 7).

    Problem: I need your feedback an interaction drag-and - drop is reset whenever the learner back to the slide / move later.

    Background: Learners complete the drag / move and gets feedback "Correct!" or "Incorrect". The learner then continues the lesson on the way to the next slide. The problem is that, if the learner is returned for drag / move, 'Okay!' or 'Wrong' feedback still shows that the drag source items are reset to their original locations and the learner can repeat the interaction drag-and - drop. By clicking on the button "Reset" does not remove the existing 'Correct '! or feedback "incorrect." Even if the learner restores the interaction and the opposite effect (for example if the learner is wrong the first time, but then correct themselves the second time), the existing comments don't change e.g. 'Wrong' to 'correct '.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    It worked!

    I had to also run the tip at the entrance Action, not just at the exit. Weird, but hey, it worked!

    see you soon
