hello.....so..We used to be able to drag items into and out of the library. 
Seems now I am not able to drag a graphic, or layer into the library? Was this an update??

And we can no longer drag drop shadows on the stage when using Layer styles?? Why would they take these features away??

 

Cheers,

Mark

Hi @mark@headTrix I'm sorry to hear about the trouble. I'm able to drag and drop any open file or layer into a Library new group or existing folder (Windows 10, Photoshop 24.0.0 Release). I'm not sure what you mean by “on the stage” in terms of drop shadows. Can you do a screen recording to show us what's happening on your end?

Yeah not sure why.... but I am not able to drag items into the Library anymore. I also cant seem to drag the drop shadows in layer styles like I used to. 24.0 release on Mac. There is a new update... hopefully that works!

 

thanks!

Do you mean click and drag to reposition drop shadow while Layer Style > Drop Shadow dialogue is open? It works for me on Windows. Works also with Gradient and Pattern Overlay.
