Dragging images from Safari to Photoshop Icon on Dock

I had the same issues. A lot of this kind of trouble with CS4 and SL. It would work some times, but mostly not. Also, it seemed that Spaces had a lot to do with causing the lag in displaying the image after opening is PS, if it showed at all. I will wait for an answer with you.

Same problem here. With Photoshop CS3. Pretty disappointing.

It doesn't work with Pixelmator either, which is also a 32 bits application.

Also having this problem. One thing I noticed when e-mailing to a Photoshop developer about this is that Photoshop is not the only app doing this. Other CS4 apps, Word and Adium are also susceptible to this problem, which suggests to me that there might be general problems with the drag and drop functionality.

Photoshop CS4 is having some issues with Spaces – it appears to be ignoring preferences altogether.

I've noticed that the drag and drop functionality is also no longer available for iPhoto '09. Anyone else notice this as well?

How do you mean.? I dragged a movie into it today, and pictures yesterday, from the Desktop. Worked for me.

From the Finder, yes. But from Safari, it doesn't work anymore.

With Photoshop CS4 Extended, it worked for me (sort of)...

I tried to open your green ipod icon into Photoshop and no go. I dragged it to the desktop, then back into Safari so it was its own Safari page (linked URL). Worked fine from there. As you mentioned, it works from the desktop, but not from photo files directly within Safari...

This isn't really an answer - more of a solution

you could put a script into the dock next to photoshop?

i have this problem too.

Drag and drop has gone for me too, trying to drag images from web pages from Firefox or Safari into iPhoto8. I liked that feature a lot...

I just hope Apple gets onto it fast, I wish I hadn't jumped on this Snow Leopard as fast as I did! I'm a recent (and happy) convert, I bet many Apple old-timers have waited...

Same problem here, seems to be a Dock issue, as it's not only affecting Adobe products but even the excellent shareware Graphic Converter. Can't drag an image straight from Safari to open an app on the dock. Sent feedback to Apple about this one.

This *****!! I hope they fix it soon.

Huge inconvenience for me as well.

Before 10.6 I wasn't able to Drag & Drop some images from the browser to CS4 programms as well...but back then I at least could drop them on bridge and then do whatever I wanted to with them from there on.

Since I upgraded, the only apps supporting D&D from the browser are:
-Firefox
-Safari
-Opera
-Preview
and Cyberduck (not quite sure...it takes over the url of the image...)

Now, if preview can accept the D&D other apps should also be able to.

I guess apple played around with the event handler of the dock icons while "improving the drag and drop behaviour" and messed up the event handler for images from external sources.

Since this problem seems to occur app specific, I guess the app developers thmeselves can also solve this problem...but I'd prefer apple solving it themselves as I don't want to update each and every program...

so much for the convient upgrading process... -.-
pity

I just noticed something, which is also new to me and which may be related to the dock problem, you also can't drag and drop anything from the browser to exposé, than choose the target window and drop the image there. I thought I'd be able to work around the drag and drop problem with the dock that way...but unfortunately there's the same problem here...

What you CAN do, and what I'm gona do till this problem is resolved, you can drag and drop the image onto preview, from there you pick the thumb out of the preview siedebar and drag&drop it wherever you want to.

Pretty much like the bridge method I used to work around inconvience with :P

Very annoying indeed! Another (hopefully temporary) solution is to right-click (CRTL+click) the image, and choose "Copy Image" and then APPLE+V the image in Photoshop.

I hope Apple fixes this soon because it's costing me so much extra time!
