(Archived) Drag and Drop from Mail?

[jeffreytotaro 0]

Hello:

I am new to Evernote. I thought there would be a way to drag and drop photos and PDF from Apple Mail to a note in Evernote. When I try this the photos shows a green PLUS sign like its going to add it to Evernote, but when I drop it nothing happens. Same with PDFs. I can get it to work if I save the files to the desktop and then drag them in. Seems like a slow way to do something. Can I get it to work directly from Mail?

Thanks!

I did a few tests, and it appears that it works if you drop onto a Notebook (on the left), or if you drop onto our dock icon, but not if you drop into the body of a note.

I'll file a bug, thanks.

Hi Dave:

Thanks for your reply! Yes that does work, although it would be nice to be able to drop several images into one note directly. I'm a photographer and I'm trying to drop a bunch of snap shot images from my clients many emails into one note for reference on the shoot.

This bug still appears to be in place....

I agree with metrodon, this drag and dropping of PDF's from Mac Mail to an existing Note (Mac desktop version) does not work....I have to attach the file, dragging and dropping sure would be easier

It's not just PDFs, I think it is any attachment.....

I have the same issue from Outlook 2003.

The attachment does not show in the note when I drag and drop!?
