OPEN PM5 text copy by drag not working in IPTC info panel
« on: July 12, 2012, 06:26:38 PM »
On OSX 10.6.8 I tried to select part of a text in the ITPC info panel and drag it to another field in the dialog. It used to work under PM 4.6.8 and it is standard behavior under OSX - and I think it usually works on Windows as well.

It works to drag text from say Caption field into a text field of another application it just doesn't work among other PM fields.
Working on Mac, OSX, iOS and with some Canons.
Allways shooting RAW.

Interesting, you're right. Hadn't noticed this before. Strange, as indeed this is standard OS behaviour.

Hayo,

True.  I don't know why it isn't working but PM isn't doing any drag and drop 'blocking' of any kind (at least not that I know of.)

It works from PM to other programs but doesn't work from other program to PM or within PM fields...
