    I haven't been able to drag images from my browser onto my deskstop for some time. Chrome and Safari. Done countless OS updates since and still nothing. Google aint helping much. Anyone?

    • WTF right.HAYZ1LLLA
    • I haven't needed to do this for at least 10 years. Why would you?fadein11
    • What? I could list 100 reasons. Do you even design bro!HAYZ1LLLA
    • just right click and save? or do you drag loads in one go? sorry - not something I ever do. would love to know how its usefulfadein11
    • I've just done it from Chrome on mac to desktop - 1st attempt. is the issue on windows? oh nope you say safari.fadein11
    • works perfectly fine here in macOSmonospaced
    • I'm mac and have the same problem. a lot more work now putting together mood boards and look books. not sure when it started happening but it's annoyingGnash
    • do you think it may be a gender or political correctness issue?fadein11
    • not sure, you being trans are in a better position to say. are you offended by OS glitches?Gnash
    • I cannot see a glitch and cannot understand why anyone would drag images out of a browser - 1000's of better options these days. Sorry if that came across a bitfadein11
    • trans for you.fadein11
    • you brought up genderGnash
    • Just right-click and pick "Save image as" or "Save image to Downloads"monospaced
    • and what could be easier than just dragging pics off a browser? why are you even arguing that. it's kinda weirdGnash
    • I'm not arguing just asking why you would worry about doing it that way? as mono said save as, or use a chrome app for mood boards. seems a weird workflow to mefadein11
    • Sorry if that was controversial - thought it was a discussion.fadein11
    • But it works fine on both my macs anyway so looks like you may have some issues with your OS.fadein11
    • hope you get it sorted.fadein11

      So today I have to go through Shutterstock to come up with image options for a project. Dragging them onto my desktop is so quick.

      So today I had to replace a jpg on an infographic page. Dragging onto my desktop would gave me the file straight away. Name/size etc.
