Lightroom Classic - Cannot drag photos anymore

[fabphotosv]

Lightroom Classic 10.2 on iMac 5K Late 2015 with MacOS Big Sur 11.3

I can't drag photos to another folder anymore. If I select multiple photos and I try to move them the selection disappear and no photos are moved. Even if I try to move one single photo I cannot do it.

Are you dragging by pointing the mouse at the thumbnail of the image and then pressing and holding the mouse button while dragging? Or are you pointing at the grey area around the image thumbnail?

Thanks dj_paige!

I can't believe I was pointing at the grey area without noticing........ I use LR since the first versions...

Problem solved!

Thanks again,

fabio

I am having the same issue with Lighroom Classic.  I grag by pointing the mouse in the thumbnail and pressing and holding the mouse button while dragging.  I have been using LR for many years and have never had this problem before.  Please help.

I'm definietly pointing at the picture not the boarder. I had done quite a few photos before it suddenly stopped working.????

"stopped working"

Please give details about exactly what does happen. And where are you dragging the photo(s) into ... a folder, a collection, somewhere else?

I fised it!!!! While in the library, I hovered over the arrow on the bottom right hand corner. It says "select toolbar content" I clicked on it and and a list cleed view mode comes up. I ticked off all the options and now I can drag again. Hurray! Thank you for your help.

I haven't fixed it. I can't drag again. I tried what I did before as mentioned above but that's not working.

I'm in my library. moving my photos into various collections under a collection set. I moved quite a few photos for awhile and then I suddenly can't drag them anymore. I tried to click more than one photo to be able to move them as a group and it not only doesn't work, but once again, I can't drag any photo anywhere. I don't know what I did. It's very frustrating.

What happens when you try to do this drag? Explain in detail.

[Joan239489819jef]

I click on the photo, hold it down and drag the photo to the collection I want it to go.

[Joan239489819jef]

When I tried to do more than one as a group, I clicked on the first photo and, I'm not sure, but did I drag to the next photo or just click on the next photo. Whatever I did, it doesn't like it.

[Joan239489819jef]

Okay, this time I turned my computer off and on again and it worked. I'm sorry I'm such a bother. I'll try to be less dependent from now on. This is my first week, as if you couldn't tell. Thanks for responding and trying to help. I truly appreciate it.

I click on the photo, hold it down and drag the photo to the collection I want it to go.

I am also having this problem. I put my pointer in middle of image ,click and drag and as soon as I go above the lower view bar it dissapears from the pointer. I can drag left and right but not up.
