Drag ANd Drop From Files Panel No Longer Works Ia Latest Dreamweaver CC

Frustrating... I downloaded the latest release  (Dreamweaver CC) and I was hoping things would get a little better but alas, I can no longer Drag and Drop and image from the File Panel into a page.  I have to go to the menu, look for insert, pick image, then scroll to the image I want and click the mouse.  Painful especially when I have many images to drop!

To make things worse, I can't even drag files from Finder (iMac) onto a page...  I have over 100 images to attempt to put onto a page and now have to manually do the

INSERT > IMAGE > FIND THE IMAGE > Click!

Am I missing something?  Any advice appreciated!  Otherwise, back to the older version!  G-r-r-r-r-r-r

    Just close and reopen the file in question.
    BTY,  I also had the same problem in DW 2015.

    Again I am going to have to retro grade to 2015 DWeave. 

    I need to be able to use this editor fast.  Simply put the drag and drop feature is something that made dweave usable over brackets.

    Hello,

    Drag and drop in code view doesn't work since DW CC 2017.

    Could you let us know in which document view are you trying?

    In Design view, drag and drop works fine.

    Hi Inayal,

    Are there any plans to restore file dragging in Code View?  When it worked, I used it all the time.  A sorely missed feature .

    If you want an editor which can do this in html files then Web Storm by Jet Brains does have a drag and drop image from its file tree. Its not perfect as it also brings along the height and width size as well which is not desirable in this day and age of responsive design but seriously how difficult can it be to write an option in teh preferences where sizes can be excluded.

    Page Spinner is looking good every time I try one of these half-assed attempts at being a web editor.

    NetBeans is a good example: it supports dragging and dropping html, css, js, and image files in the html code, and inserts the correct statements. Img tags without width and height attributes

    Hi Nancy and Per,

    We would further want to understand the request of drag and drop in Code view.

    Isn't it easy to simply put cursor in code view and click on element to insert, which is more precise operation rather than dragging and dropping.

    Your inputs will help us understanding scenarios in better way.

    Sorry, but if you have to ask why this fundamental option needs further explanation, then I am afraid you might need a bit more front-end coding experience yourself. In Netbeans dragging and dropping an image even inserts a new line, and indents that line properly according to the surrounding html code. Much faster and more efficient than first creating a new line, placing the cursor correctly, then clicking an element to insert, and changing the properties/adding the correct parameters, etcetera. Really now? Typing would be faster.

    I don't think it requires more explanation than that


    Agree, this response is clearly not qualifying as competant support.  Adobe has become to large and unresponsive to customers. Total disaster with Loss of Fireworks access and now Drag and Drop on DW.

    Time for a new company to disrupt this behemoth getting more cumbersome and non responsive

    The last version i am aware of in which the functionality you mention worked, was Dw 2015, unless they re-introduced it in a later update to Dw2017, of which i am not aware.
