My PC crashed, so I now have a wonderful Mac that I'm trying to get the hang of. So far things seem to be coming together. Until I figured out that I have NO IDEA how to post a pic here now. If I try and get one out of my smugmug galleries, how do I find the properties? I tried drag/drop, didn't work. I right clicked and searched for properties, no where. How do I go about doing this??

Thanks in advance...

What browser are you using? With a right click, Mozilla browsers have a "Copy Image Location" selection that will do the job.

Exactly what I use when on the Mac, FireFox, right mouse click, Copy Image Location. Safari is much less friendly, I don't like it or use it.

Safari works just the same, right-click, or control-click brings up "copy link to clipboard".

I tried Firefox, and found it to be buggy and unuseable. Different strokes...

I think the thing you're missing with linking is that you need to click on the button below the pic "Share with friends and forums" and then choose the link that you want to use in your post. Right-click or control-click to get the URL.

Make sure that you run the basic Macintosh Maintenance. And if you need any help adjusting to your Mac, feel free to contact me directly. I give free support! (As in, "Yay, you're doing a great job! Way to go, getting a Mac", etc.)

Seriously, let me know if I can help.

"copy link to clipboard" will not work right for what he wants from smugmug, that will copy the link, NOT the image location which is what he wants. Over time I grew to hate Safari, if it works for you good, but not for me.

So what's the difference?

Since a link needs the .jpg, only the Image Location will work.

I never have a problem with that, that's just what I get (the .jpg). Perhaps the difference is that I need to go to the 'share with friends and forums' button to get it, and you can do it in one step?

Testing...
Testing again...

YIPPEEEE!! Thank you for suggesting Mozilla. I uploaded it and by using it I could do it. Safari just wouldn't help me out at all.

Thank you everyone for your help! DavidTO~ Thank you for the offer! I may just take you up on it!!! I'm in a whole new world now, he he.

I'm still confused. How come I don't have any trouble posting?

i use macs and safari exclusively to post on dgrin. no probs whatsoever...

to copy an image from smugmug, i click on "share with friends and forums" and then right click on the link for the size image i want... it's really easy, safari pops up with "copy link to clipboard" and then i paste it here on dgrin...



voila.

easy as pie.

mmm pie

Exactly my point!

Way to go Andy, you're doing a great job!

(Some more Mac support)

You know, I really miss Vitamin M. *sigh*

In FF I do as the others have stated. In Safari I choose open image in new tab then I just copy the URL, usually I am linking several images, so I just work from a lot of tabs (or windows with expose they are easy to find). That is what works for me.

Correct, that is the differance.

OK, so I managed to install Firefox (last time I tried it kept hanging and crashing). And it seems to be running fine.

Any idea why it only imports bookmarks from Opera, and not Safari, or am I missing something?

Sorry, I never tried that, I don't tend to keep bookmarks, I use too many differant systems, I just remember them or search.
