a. Create new Project
b. Drag and Drop assets (images, text files) into sidebar
c. add base Stacks module
d. Add RW system dual column layout
e. Add text module to one column
f. add image module to the other
g. Click on text stack: ctrl-v inserts text.
h. Try to drag and drop image into other column: RW will not permit this.
i. Open Inspector
g. Click on “Image”=>Choose=>Select image from Mac.
h. Image opens in column.
i. Click “Preview”
j. Text column appears (full-width); image does not???
I can see the image in the column in the “Edit” view, but the image then is not shown in Preview.
No theme other than Bootsnap, which is a blank page.
If you’re talking about the Resources folder as the sidebar then yes, drag and drop is not allowed. You can use 2 methods to get the image into the image stack… use resource macro -> %resource(image name.ext)% or
you can open the resource file to inspect it (basically) and copy the url to the image from there and paste it in your url to the image there (will be an absolute url inclusive of http://yoursite.com/blahblah… has to be published to server to be seen in preview.
Perhaps I did not understand your problem as you’ve described it, but dragging and dropping images from the Finder into the RW resources, as well as into stacks, works perfectly on my computer…
You can drag and drop an image into the Resources folder. This makes sense since you can assemble those assets you are going to use on your web page. But you can’t drag and drop those assets; at least images, onto a stack. As @Turtle wrote, “If you’re talking about the Resources folder as the sidebar then yes, drag and drop is not allowed.”
It doesn’t make sense not to permit drag and drop from the Resources/sidebar {folder} onto Stacks. Otherwise, what’s the point of collecting assets? Sure you can drop from the Desktop, but in working on several projects at the same time you’ll soon have filing chaos. Why not use the Resources/sidebar {folder} to collect or assemble those assets you plan to use in your project??
I agree. That would be a very nice feature. So you could manage the resources in RapidWeaver itself.
Contact Realmac, so this feature can be implemented in RW 7 or later. Realmac will open a thread after RW 7 is shipped.
OK, @mokane99, now I understand and I agree that this feature (dragging-and-dropping an image from the Resources onto a stack) would be a very welcomed one.
How do you accomplish that? You can’t drag them from the Resources Panel onto the Inspector frame for images.
In fact, if you are not quick clicking on the image you lose focus and can’t select them at all.
There is no “Add Link” menu item on the main Rapidweaver 6 Menu.
If this is a sub-menu activated wnen the Link box is active, it doesn’t work because the link box is greyed out.
