can't drag images from Photos or Messages to desktop..

[fisherking]

i know someone else reported this on the forum (about Photos), but thought to start a thread;

if i drag an image from Messages to the desktop, i get the green + sign, but nothing shows up on the desktop; nothing can be dragged from Photos either (i can export an image in Photos).

anyone else?

Ditto, Messages and Photos drag and drop fails. Finder is okay, dragging to a screen share also works.

Beta 10
MacBook Pro 13 2016

One other thing, my Desktop is local.

mine too (local desktop). annoying, but you can export from messages to photos, THEN export from photos to the desktop (or wherever). still, looking forward to fixes...

It was me who complained in beta 1 about this issue. I’m not near a computer can someone report this to apple it’s a huge problem please

Happening here with a clean install this morning. Don't use Photos app on my MBP.
Bug reported.

am sure this will be fixed in the next beta/final release (whatever comes next); it's annoying, but at least we can export from both apps.

so, just life with betas...

Yeh it’s annoying I use messages a lot of my iMac

This only happened to me after the latest beta drop, prior to that it worked fine.

Happened to me too so reported in feedback assistant.

seems that's when it started for everyone...

It hasn’t worked for me since beta 1. I used always drag images into messages, also beta 9 when I took a screen shot it wouldn’t create a file on my desktop! Beta 10 fixed the screen shot issue but stlll cannot paste images into messages.

we need beta 11 and than GM release

i am seeing a similar issue, when trying to pull a link from Safari URL bar to the desktop, for example. might be related =/

 

[thguenther]

Probably related: I can't download folders/files by dragging them from Transmit to Finder since the last beta.

Export to desktop is a valid workaround for this bug, but it would be real nice for them to fix it.

 

[fisherking]

both things are working here today, in the current (29oct) beta. progress!

I've just dragged a photo from Photos on to the desktop and it was fine.
It might have taken a second or two longer to actually drop, but it did appear.
