Apple Bug ID# 12033691Apple Bug ID# 12033691Our authentication required podcasting server uses JFile Upload for all uploaded files (video, audio, PDF, ePub). MacOS X 10.6,7 &8 users cannot use the drag and drop part of the UI. They are compelled to use the less intuitive (to them) GetFile interface instead. I have filed this bug with Apple on numerous occasions and have received email acknowledgement that this is a "known problem" but nothing ever gets fixed. Could this be something the matter with the applet?
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691There is a workaround to move the applet on desktop (Cmd+Shift + Select applet and move it) and then D&D will work (see screenshot). Could it help?
The other solution is that we would implement a JFrame (i.e. window) that will display over the applet and browser.Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691 (Drag & Drop workarounds)We've implemented the JFrame workaround as an option in JFileUpload 3.0.
You can enable it by adding the following parameter: <PARAM NAME="maincontainer" VALUE="frame-mac"> It will display a frame window over the applet at loading on MacOSX only. The frame will stay "on top" but one can minimize it. This workaround should be considered as experimental. Any feedback is welcome here. You can try it at: http://www.jfileupload.com/products/dem ... x_dnd.html See screenshot. Notes: - The frame will not move when the browser window is moved. - The frame is displayed always on top. - It has been tested under Mountain Lion with JRE 1.7.0_13 and Safari 6.0.2 Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691I get the following error on the demopage:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.randelshofer.quaqua.subset.QuaquaLionFileChooserLAF Environment Details: Code: Select all
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691The error is not related to workaround but to look and feel. I've disabled look and feel. Could you try again?
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691I confirm, it works fine now!
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691Ok and what about the workaround? Could it fit to your needs?
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691Unfortunatly it says 'This plugin has security issues' and users have to accept this barrier first. Using Firefox 19.0, Java 7 Update 15 (build 1.7.0_15-b03) on OSX 10.7.5
Re: Apple Bug ID# 12033691Yes, this behavior is now very common, browser requires last JRE update to allow applet. It's for any applet.
