Not sure why but when using previous editions of RW I was able to drag and drop photos or images into the Stack on a page and they’d embed. I’ve tried doing this with the Image Stack in RW 7.5 but for some reason when I try to drop the image into place, it bounces back to the desktop.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I should add that the very same image that won’t drag and drop into the Image Stack will work fine in the Logo function when I add the file to view in the Logo area of the site.
What file format is the image William?

It’s a jpeg image…
Can you upload a screenshot of your Edit page that shows where you’re trying to drag the picture?
I should mention that this site was imported into 7.5 from 6. Thus the images you see embedded into the page were placed there when I was working in 6.
Looks to me as though there’s something funny going on. When I drag an image stack onto the page it doesn’t look like that - there’s no blue shading and it doesn’t say ‘Click here to add content’ underneath it.
Can you click on the image stack on the page and open the inspector so we can see the stack’s settings?

The Page Inspector vanishes when I try to use Grab to take a picture. I will probably have to mess with this when I get home from work tonight. Which Settings do you need to look at? General or something else?
Just thought of something. Do I need to put a Column or two in place before the Image Stack and then try to drop the image in place?
Grab’s Timer feature solved the photo problem.
Sorry, we need to see the Image stack’s settings - so can you take the shot again but this time select the last icon on the right in Page Inspector - looks a bit like a nut or a cog.

The Blue shading is normal due to the View Mode being used ( I think)…
Aha, you might be right there, Greg. Still be good to see the settings though.
I think I found a solution to this problem. On a whim I tried dragging and dropping a image from a file instead of off the Desktop. It embedded properly into the Image field and displayed. Good enough for me.
However, now another problem has cropped up. I just tried to install a new Stacks Version 3.6.1 Build #4160 when the prompt to do so came up. It didn’t install and I got the following error message:
The following updates failed to install: YHStacksPlugin.
What could be the cause of this?
Rapidweaver folder is located here:
Thanks Greg. Stacks is now updated.
Thanks again to everyone that responded. My issues have been completely resolved for now.
