Drag Finder selection to "Found Image" in Chrome Browser window

Questions & Suggestions

Hey Folks,

It looks to me like Ray wants to drag files from the Finder into the upload area of a browser window.

Unless his target site has an API for uploading, Working with the Finder Selection is unlikely to be helpful.

While automating dragging and dropping files with the mouse is fragile, I think his task can be very possibly be accomplished by:

  1. Arranging browser and Finder windows so they are visible on screen at the same time.

  2. Using the method I outlined above to find the Finder selection coordinates for dragging.

  3. Find the coordinates of the target image on the web page.

  4. Click and drag between the two coordinates using a Move or Click Mouse action.

Ray ⇢ what browser are you using? If NOT Safari have you checked to make sure you can’t copy files in the Finder and paste them into your web page destination. (This technique works on the Keyboard Maestro forum in Chrome, Firefox, and some other NON-Safari browsers.)
