Importing via Drag and Drop and Import Audio

[derJ]

Hey guys!

Like i also postet in the PT9 General Forum:

I'm trying to work with PT 9 on windows 7 Professional x64. I had several issues, which i could solve. (I will post them soon).

One annoying thing remains on my list:

I can't drag and drop audio from the windows explorer in the timeline or regions-list.
The mouse-pointer switches to the "not allowed" pointer.
Trashing prefs, reinstalling didn't fix it.

Importing with the Workspace works.
Importing with the import window doesn't work too.

I think before i was upgrading from PT 8. it worked but was really slow and it sometimes crashed.

I really searched the hole internet. Nobody seems to have the same issue.
In Postpro this is really uncomfortable, because i have to import many files.


Thank you for helping me!

Try the workspace window!

Try the workspace window!
Importing from the workspace finally works.
I had problems with the catalouges. Before i indexed my drives pro tools crashed when I tried to make a new one.
And then it crashed when opening a folder with a corrupt audio file in it.
(took a while to figure that out)
So I didn't want to uses it so much.
Since it works I use it and I like it.
But I want to use drag and drop to for newly downloaded files...

From the Pro Tools 9 General discussion Forum:

Ive had the same issue as well. I think this has something to do with uac being on. Turn it off and test.


Thank you so much.
I really apprechiate all your help.

It was the UAC.

So it's definite:

"User Account Controll' in Windows 7 disables audio-import via drag and drop!

Pretty much the only thing in Windows I didn't optimised for Pro Tools.


To fix this:
Press "Windows" and search for "Change User Account Control Settings"

Put the slider all the way down.

Glad my suggestion worked.
Personally I cant risk having my computer w/o uac on, so im going to test an alternative later today.

Did you find another solution?
What was your alternative?
Would be great!

Hey Guys!

Sorry to revive an old thread but I'm having a similar issue. I can't drag and drop from explorer into PT 10 either the clip bin or timeline. I have UAC turned off. Was there ever another definite solution to this issue that you guys tried and had work for you? If so, please reply, thank you!!

Have you tried the IMPORT menu?

Turn Off UAC and do NOT Launch with Run As Admin if d&d is important for you.
