No More Picture Clippings on Mac?
I recently updated my OS from Catalina to Big Sur and I'm on Illustrator 2022. I can no longer create picture clippings from Illustrator. I used to be able to drag an object (or collection of selected objects) from my Illustrator artboard to the desktop and create a Picture Clipping file. I create these for consistency across many files or to update old artwork. I just drag a picture clipping from my desktop into an open Illustrator artboard and the objects would appear with all of the layering and swatches intact. Now I cannot drag anything from Illustrator to the desktop at all. It gives a werid noise. I can still use the old picture clippings that I've created, but I cannot create new ones.
Has anyone else discovered this?
I know there arent a lot of folks who use picture clippings, but they have been part of my workflow for decades. I tried using the CC Libraries as a substitute for our studio to use in a similar manner, but it was so slow compared to picture clippings. I just shared the library of picture clippings over the server and everyone in the studio could either drag them from there into their documents or they could copy the folder onto their desktop and drag them over locally. This proved much more efficient than the libraries and easier for everyone to use.
I hope there is a way to get this functionality back. I'm not sure this is an Adobe Illustrator problem or an OS problem. I wanted to ask here first because Apple will certainly have zero clue about this functionality if 99% of Illustrator users aren't even aware of it.
Any help is appreciated.
