drag and drop in document viewer

asked on October 7, 2014

I am not able to drag and drop a document into another document in the document viewer.   I thought I used to be able to do this... maybe not?

Thanks for pointing this out, looks like this functionality was unintentionally removed. We will look into fixing it in an upcoming version.

Actually I don't think this is a bug. Does the document you are dragging have an electronic file portion? The client blocks you from dragging into the thumbnail pane in this case.

I tried both an electronic file and TIFF image.

Please refer to Rob Misconin's post in this thread. Can you confirm that the user has the necessary entry access rights configured to be able to move pages or entire documents around?

I'm able to open two different TIFF image documents and drag pages between both of them. I can also open one TIFF image document and then drag a second document from the Client browser into the document viewer of the first document.

Is is possible to drag from the desktop and drop into  a document in the document viewer?

No, that isn't supported.

Hi Robert,

By any chance do you know if they are considering on implementing the drag and drop ability from the desktop into the document viewer? I feel this would be easier than using LF Snapshot.

 

Currently we are using LF Snapshot to insert pages into a document, however a problem we come across is the third option to "Replace existing pages." So, if someone is not paying attention and rushing through, they accidently choose that option instead. Unfortunately, there is no ability to disable that option (Replace existing pages) and it still replaces the pages even if the user does not have access to delete.

 

Is there any other (easier) way to insert pages with or without using the document viewer?

 

Thank you.

I can't think of an easier way. I will file a bug report about the "Replace existing pages" option overwriting pages when the user doesn't have delete rights. I think it is overwriting to avoid putting pages in the recycle bin, but in this case it should detect that they can't delete and return an error.
