Can't drag and drop safari images to desktop

Here is a clue...

I am on 27" iMac, late 2015, w/retina, El Capitan, Safari 10.1

Try this and maybe you can make some sense of it...

1. System Preferences > Displays > Color (my default is iMac)
2. Change Display profile to Generic RGB Profile (for example)
3. Now try dragging and dropping in Safari

Were I an Apple engineer I would think I had a good lead here, can anyone shed some light?

It's the second time they reply me in Twitter and for that reason I think Twitter is a good way to show our annoyance with this issue. It's really public... not like this forums, that are mainly for mac users.

Again... I encourage all of you to show your disappointment with the issue in feedbacks (https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html) and in Twitter. The more the better.

I think they are in problem contention mode... they are trying to keep us quiet. They are quite devious... they want to show us that they are taking care of us but without disclosing or telling us that the problem is going to be fixed.

It's just PR. If we create enough noise we'll pass the PR wall and perhaps we'll reach a point where they don't have any other option but to fix SOON.

Probably the best OSX, the only one that made the machine upgraded to it run faster.

I can still boot in Snow Leopard, I have it "caged" in an external drive.

Unfortunately Apple stopped supporting it with Security Updates.

Hallelujah. Thanks to everyone who went the extra distance to bang on Apple's head until drag works again. Couldn't think of a better thing to DRAG off of a website for a trial run than this.

DRAG WORKS AGAIN

I've been having similar problems. Have you noticed if drag-and-drop is affected for you in Apple Mail as well?

Here's what I've been experiencing:

Drag & Drop not working; mac Bluetooth hardware problem, macOS issue, or both?

Guys!! and update in on the way. An Apple engineer has got in contact with me via twitter and told me to check on the developer site, where they have a beta version of Safari 10.1.1.

Safari_10.1.1_for_OS_X_El_Capitan_beta_3.dmg

I've downloaded and works fine. In my case fixes the problem.

🙂

I don't know if the link would work without been logged in as developer. Or even if it work at all outside of the developer site.

I encourage you to go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and download yourself.
