Problem with dragging assets from one project to another (OSX)

hi,

unfortunately very often if I'm dragging assets from one project to another , it don't work. The same with dragging project folders from finder to CPM.

Is that a known issue, and is there solution.

thx!

I see this also.

So the solution is: COMMAND+C / COMMAND+V and forget dragging by now.

Regards,

AFAIS copy'n'paste do not work on files in CPM.

Yes, does not work on CPM.

Sorry, I did not know that.

PS: I was telling about the system not CPM itself.

A note of caution, dragging and dropping from a folder to another on the Mac will result in moving the file, so you will have lost it in the original location.

Same goes for copying a folder with the same name, though windows will merge the contents, on a Mac it will get overwritten (until Lion, they tried to fix it)

cheers,

?:)

Yes Jayant,

Youre right mate!

btw my lion does keep both files together in the same folder, just renumbered as well.

Thanks,

Sorry, i don't think that is a OSX/WIN thing. I actually meant the borrowing asset function IN CMP. So that what Jay do in this video on 0:23

I do exactly the same, but in over 50% it doesn't work. Sometimes I have to restart CPM, sometimes also that doesn't is a solution.

The only method which always works, is to show the file in finder, go to the target-project in CPM and move the file from finder to the asset list.

sunmils, are you using Windows or Mac?

PS - Sorry for the delay in replying, I'm in the middle of being sick right now and not spending much time online.

Duh! Just saw from the title of the thread you're talking about Mac. :)

Dragging assets from the list into a different project needs some tweaking, I'll agree. But it should work (pretty much every time) if you make sure to drop the asset you're copying on top of the folder icon of the new project, and not the name. Usually that will do the trick.

The entire Project pane is getting an overhaul soon and I'll be moving away from the 3rd-party control I'm now using to something that's more easily tweaked.
