Drag & Drop:

ScrapIt Pro supports Drag & Drop for System 7.1 Pro (with the Drag Manager Extension) and System 7.5 users.

Please read about the “Option-Click to drag & drop” option in the “Application Preferences” chapter to learn about using the Option key to drag and drop.

• Dragging items from ScrapIt Pro:

   -  Selected Text (only if you allow text edit):
       Just click on the selected text and drag it to another
       location within the same text or to another
       application's window or the desktop.

   -  Selected Picture portion:
       Just hold down the Option key, click on the portion
       of the picture that is selected and drag it to another
       application's window or to the Finder.

   -  Dragging any scrap item:
       Hold down the Option key and click within the
       current item display area and drag.

   -  Dragging any scrap item from a list (name, thumbnail
       or gallery):
       Hold down the Option key and click any item in a list to drag
       the item.

• Dragging items to ScrapIt Pro:

   -  Dragging text item(s) to ScrapIt Pro:
       If you are currently editing text within ScrapIt Pro
       and the file(s) you drag onto the ScrapIt window are
       all Text type files or clippings, the text from the
       items will be inserted where you drop them in the
       text.  The only reason they wouldn't be placed this
       way is if they would all create a text item that was
       too large, if this is the case, each dragged file will
       be added as a scrap item separately.

       NOTE:  You can drag an item to the list (if in list,
       thumbnail or gallery mode) and have it add a new
       item even if you are editing text and the dragged item
       is a text item.

   -  Dragging other item(s) to ScrapIt Pro:
       Any clippings (created by dragging items from ScrapIt
       Pro or dragging items from other applications) can be
       dragged to ScrapIt Pro.  Many other standard files can
       be dragged to ScrapIt Pro such as GIF files, JPEG files,
       QuickDraw 3D files, Text files, System 7 sound files,
       MacPaint files, QuickTime™ movies and PICT files.

      
REASONS WHY DRAGGED FILES WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED:  

The file(s) will not be added to the scrap file if the count of files being dragged plus the amount of items already in the scrap file would exceed the scrap files limit (255 for older Scrap files and 1000 items for files created with ScrapIt Pro).  There also might not be enough memory to drag large objects, you can change the preferred memory size for ScrapIt Pro if that's the case.

• A beep will sound if not all dragged items can be placed in the scrap file.
