![]() But I would never claim for my software that because I can’t reproduce something, it’s not a bug. I’ve been developing software for OS X (previously NeXTStep/OpenStep) since ‘91, and I’m good at breaking software (both my own and others’). I understand the difficulty of getting a modern, complex piece of software to work in all circumstances, but I hope you realize that there may be bugs in DTPO that you can’t reproduce because you haven’t regressed against the same set of circumstances (clicks, parameters, settings, etc). I would therefore be surprised if this can be blamed on another program besides DTPO itself. I use drag and drop in programs like Mail regularly, and have never encountered such an issue. However, this problem does not exist in any other application. So there is some chance it is due to a remnant with one of those that failed to be uninstalled. I presently don’t have any of the haxies type stuff installed on my system, though I did in the past. In the Groups panel, navigate to the group that’s to receive items to be dragged from a view window, then select them in the view window and drag them over. Or select Tools > Show Groups to invoke the floating Groups panel. Choose the contextual menu option Move To. Select one or more groups and then Command-click (right click) on the selected item(s). Some of those neat little utilities that change the appearance or behavior of OS X may carry with them unintended consequences.īy the way, there are other (often more precise) means of moving items (groups or documents) around in the organizational structure. You might think about software that you’ve downloaded recently and see if problems go away when you uninstall it. Personally, I keep my computer pretty much “stock” Apple OS X and am very cautious about installing routines that modify standard OS X behavior. Christian has also noted in some crash reports problems caused by third-party QuickTime plugins that introduced errors into the operating system. Such haxies modify the operating system and can cause OS errors, usually as small incremental memory errors that can cascade to more serious problems. We’ve had a rash of reports of flaky behavior in DT PE, DT Pro and DTPO by people who had installed haxies such as ShapeShifter.
