Slow image import

TIG

If you 'drag-and-drop' the image file into the SketchUp window what happens ?

Yes I can drag and drop. I saved the SU8 installation so I could test. I have installed SU15 on another drive.

I have for years gone file/import/as texture to map something.
I did the drag and drop and it works immediately. You can as well map it and change it's aspect ratio with the shift key....so... it is actually about the same....well know, drag and drop is better (thanks).

I am still curious to know what is going on with the other import method although I think you have quelled my hysteria re bad code and so on.

Can you explain?

Did you try drag and drop from explorer into SU?

Rich actually tipped me off as well (thanks rich)...so there is some experience with this behavior...(dumb user behavior)

I take it that no one knows why file/import/ has stopped working for us?

This is odd... I have experienced exactly the same issue, beginning in the past 48hrs, with painfully slow import/export in su8 and 14... Really strange... Hopefully someone can enlighten us?

You asked this question and then disappeared?

There are lots on Google hits on issues with Win 7, Logitech mouse etc, messing up drag-and-drop.

Have you tired the old Right-click+Esc key?

Right-click on a file and hold the mouse button down.
While the the mouse is still pressed hit the Esc key.

Is the drag+drop functionality restored?

What more is there to say
Drag-and-drop for Images works well for most users.
The ones who now report they can't do it have other computer-related issues ?
I don't know why image-import is slow for some users.
It is fine for me.
I am not Trimble tech-support - but a ~~moan~~ bug-report to them might also help you get resolution ?

nickchun

Thanks TIG, I'm on Win 7 also but with a Fujitsu mouse which I do have issues with the driver dropping out sometimes. I will do a bug report.

nickchun

Hmmm... now I am having trouble exporting images too. Colours are all washed out. All drivers up to date. Have reported to Trimble, will update if I hear back

Careful...you could get "dragged and drop-kicked" in here if you don't look out.
