Containers do not accept drag and drop on Macs

[Raybaudi]

Hi all friends

can someone confirm that on Mac platform ( some configuration expecially the last ) it's impossible to drag and drop an image from one container to another one ?

This isn't true on Windows.

It works for me. Make sure the option to allow drag and drop is enabled in FileMaker->Preferences.

Hi Ender

so why some Mac user said me that this file do not work ?

It works on Windows and it is a way to move rows in a portal, much like ScriptMaker

( you'll need EventScript )

Hmmmm

Drag yes, drop no

Hi Stuart

that is very strange !!

Even the Help On Line says that you can; and some configuration ** allows to drag and to drop ..

** for example, they said that this configuration works:

Max OSX 10.3.9

FMP 8Adv

EventScript 1.0

but this doesn't:

Tiger 10.4.10

ES 1.1

FM Adv 8 e 8.5

Perhaps it's something about your graphic. See attached.

Hi Daniele

This may interest you it is a discovery i made that i am meaning to use but you may want to use it as it allows you to do some more complex draging and dropping with ids and data...

Ender, I'm on Win, so both images can be dropped on destination container... isn't the same with Mac ?

The picture was a screenshoot saved as png.

hey Ender,

Think you got something there

Source 1 yes

Source 2 no

[Ender]

Source 1 yes

Source 2 no

That's what I saw too.

I've been able to successfully drag and drop pngs created in Photoshop on my Mac, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Somehow, we should be able to blame this on Windows. :(

This may interest you it is a discovery i made

Nice discovery, Stuart :(

I thought that would make you happy

Right up your street

Just displaying text as an image is cool too :(
