Why Skydrive can't handle drag them and drop folders?

I can't believe this problem with Skydrive has persisted this long.  I just made an account about a month ago (December 2011), but I'm reading messages 2 years throughout the Internet regarding this problem.

I have many files.  Files containing things.  Folders in the folders.

Records represent content organization.  Reminder.  Browse.  That almost as important as the content itself.

The suggestion?  SkyDrive, hand - create the bazillion of files I have on my hard drive and then hand - fill each SkyDrive folder with the items I want to back up.

WHY offer this utility to the public when such a need to basis has not been addressed?

I don't think that there will never be such a system.  From an architectural point of view, the computers do not know the difference between files and folders.  Technically, a folder is a file.  And as by clicking on a file, film or photo has different actions, the files are just files and their action is to show the other files.

When you drag-and - drop a file, the web browser sees it as just another file, he can't see what files are 'in' this folder, because technically, no files are actually in it.
That's why each backup, synchronization, or service requires a file-sharing program to be installed on the computer, a program that is able to look inside files and to determine how to handle the content.  The web just can't do this without a request for assistance.
As I said, the Windows Live Sync program is indeed such help, and it can synchronize your folders (and all inside of them) on your SkyDrive for you.  Just to get the program to http://get.live.com and tell him what file (s) to download.

    Please do * not * leave the text above in a question to ask you. Delete it.
    It has nothing to do with your question. And please ask your question
    in the body of the message, not in the title.
     
    How to get deleted? If you remove them normally, they must be
    in the trash. If they are not, read point 1 below (but also pay
    Special notice to the point 2):
     
    1. "deleting" a file does not actually delete it just marks the
    available space be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.
     
    So your chances of successfully recovering these files are decent if
    you try to recover immediately after their deletion and quickly
    down from there. If you use the computer since
    (for example to read this answer and write that question), your
    chances may be very weak now.
     
    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
    it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.
     
    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.
     
    2. If you have files that are important to you, and you do not
    back them up regularly, you are playing with fire. It is not a question
    to know if you lose them, it's a question of * when *. You could

  • How can I hide submit them and disable button "on success" event for question slides?

    Hello

    I use the "successful" event on the question slides to show a caption for the image and text and a button of smart shape to allow the user to continue to his own time to the next question.  The problem is I can't hide submit and clear buttons and I cannot conceal their with a smart shape...

    Does anyone have advice?

    Thank you!

    It's just the way by default that work all the Captivate questionnaire slides.  The default slide elements of questionnaire, including the "submit" button and the Clear button, are always at the level of the top layer, no matter what YOU add to the slide.

    My suggestion would be that maybe you should consider using the actions on the success or on the last attempt to go to a different slide in total BEFORE then go to the next question quiz.  Then you can do what you want on this non-quiz slide.

  • Why my arrows have stroke on them and how it remove?

    I must have changed a setting in my program illustrator by mistake. Whenever I have to draw a path and add arrowhead contour... the arrow itself has a stroke. I can't understand how to remove it.  There is nothing that explains it in the dialog appearance...

    Here is a screen shot of what I speak. If I change the color of the outline of the race of the arrowhead stays the same. So frustrating.

    I appreciate any can help.

  • How can we call save them and save under the action of a plugin?

    Hello

    I want to call the Illustrator save and save under the action of my plugin, is I want to force the user to save and save as operation through my plugin.  After you save the active document using my plugin, I want to get its path, it is possible to do it using the SDK?

    Thanks in advance

    Farida kaid

    You can call Save in a few ways - through the Action Manager (AIActionManager.h) & PlayAction() for one. There is a call from WriteDocument() on these forums who would also do the trick (I think AIDocumentList.h, of AIDocument.h if not there).

    If you want to "force" users to use your plugin, I think you're wandering into dangerous territory. Its probably not a good idea for a plugin to usurp control of Illustrator record capabilities. I mean, you can do little by playing with the call of AIDocumetn::SetDocumentModified() and tricking HAVE thinking that nothing has changed, but I do not know what other side effects that would have. Others have tried, then maybe it works for you. Yet once, search the Forum and you will find details.

    To get the path after a backup, AIDocument.h has a method for this: GetDocumentFileSpecification().

  • How can I change the size (HUGE 72 x 72) of my drag-and-drop icons?

    Is there a windows hotfix, the registry setting, utility tweak or SOMETHING that will give me an icon of normal size (small) when I drag-and - drop in Windows Explorer?  I am happy with the size of all other icons, but would be willing to change whatever it is to change the size of the drag-and-drop icon.  Windows Explorer is too difficult to use in the Details view when the icon drag-and - drop is that great.

    Hi redhawk463,

    When you use drag it and drop method the icon font size would be in the same size of the real size of this file.

    Let us know if the real size of the file is the same when you drag and drop the file in Windows Explorer.

  • Cannot move or drag-and - drop files/folders on desktop

    The other day I noticed that I could not move or drag-and - drop folders or files on my desk.  Even with photos, etc.  When I try to move them into the office, following shadow file the mouse as usual, but when I left to go to the let down, I get a small black circle with a line through it.  This indicates that the procedure is not allowed.  Do not hesitate to offer easy solutions/advice, that I may have missed it, but trust me, I googled several tips on what to do with no luck!  I even did a backup of the registry to try a 'dragdropfix.reg' that I found, but this info was from 2004.  When I tried, I got the message: "cannot import c:\Documents and Settings, etc., etc\dragdropfix.reg the specified file is not a registry script.  You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor. (whatever that means)

    I found I can add new folders, files and images for the office and can delete them.  I can't, however, drag-and - drop into another folder on the desktop. I can't also drag them into the trash to delete, but I can right-click and then delete them.

    I tried the simpler options to right click on the desktop to make the various advice offered by doing this, but the chance either.  Please offer advice, even if you think I can have already tried.  You never know.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition with IE 8.  If you need other info, please let me know and how to find it. I'd be happy.  It drives me crazy and I'm confident and hoping you ladies and gentlemen can offer advice on how to solve this problem!

    Thank you

  • Why objects disappear while you move them?

    I'm curious to know why the objects I'm moving disappear when I drag them and reappear after I move them. It's time where I drag an image to a specific place, but given that I'm not all doing drag I move just in the general area and then use the arrow keys. It's not a big deal and I use the arrow keys to get things in place, but I just want to know if there is some kind of framework to actually see the object while moving.

    Either click and hold a moment before you drag, or go to the preferences and set screen drawing immediate Live.

    When I drag and drop folders to rearrange them in the bookmarks, I get a copy and not just a gesture. I had the same problem in Firefox. How do I set the effect of drag copy to transfer all of my Drag and drops in Firefox?

    Thanks for your reply. I think that there is a corruption. Solution was to completely uninstall, reinstall without bookmarks, import bookmarks from HTML, use a sidebar add on other than in one. He now works as it should and I'm organized.
