img folder won't load into workspace

here's what I ended up doing to work around this: I'm on a Mac, and the images from the img folder did load onto my Mac. I found that if I dragged and dropped each pic from the img folder into workspaces, they loaded. No matter how many times I restarted workspaces, dragging and dropping the img folder into workspaces simply wouldn't load it, but added the files individually worked fine. Then, since they aren't in the img folder in workspaces, I just didn't include the "img/" portion of the code to load the image; i.e., it looks like this: a href ="numbers-01.jpg"> img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt="" since I'm not loading the jpg's from the img folder. This worked for me

Hi Adam Carter,

Thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry that you're having trouble with Workspaces. Despite all of our testing, it is still a new tool, so there may be some lingering issues that we need to sort out. Our Workspaces developers Jim Hoskins and Joe Steele will know more about what's going on, and may have some questions for you that can help diagnose the issue.

One thing to try is simply refreshing the Workspaces window, or closing the Workspace and reopening it. That might help to "restart" it and resolve some issues it might be having.

I had the same problem but found by going to "File" on the menu bar and then "Upload File" I was able to select all the images and add very quickly and in one shot. I'm also on a mac.

The best solution so far has been to upload the images instead of the folder. You can create a new folder called img for them to upload into. This way they have the same path as the tutorial uses.

Nick Pettit - The project files for this project appear to be empty zips.

I had this problem today. When I dragged the folder over workspace I did not get the gray box. If I dropped the folder into workspace I got Index of file:///C:/Users/Carcharoth68/Desktop/img/ followed by a list of the images. Dropping an individual image into workspace just change the whole space to the that image. That was in Firefox 27.0.1. I switched to Chrome and had no problem at all.

Hi Nick, I am having the same problem as everyone else here. I am on a mac. I did the same thing as Carter, dropping the files inside the img folder. This works just fine. For kicks I tried dropping another folder of images I have on my desktop and that would just keep spinning as well. Although I am light years from being an expert, I am guessing this is an issue with the workspace itself? Since I was playing around with dropping items into the workspace, I also couldn't figure out how to delete items dropped in. The only thing I could come up with was not saving it and closing out the workspace.

I'm using Safari. Yes, I noticed that files need to be dropped exactly in that box after a first failed attempted but on further attempts, the images never seemed to load. They were simply permanently in the process of doing so until I figured out my workaround which had them up and running in a few seconds.

Hi Nick & Joe,

Thank you for your quick responses, I really appreciate it. I am using Safari. I decided to scrap the workspace I was using and create a new one. When I created the new one, the image folder I was trying to upload appeared. Not sure how that happened.

I'm using Chrome on Windows. Tried to refresh/ close and reopen WorkSpace but can't see the img uploaded. After uploading, it doesn't show anything. I've switched to use Sublime Text.

I'm still having that problem - using Firefox. I will try the workaround, since they're on my mac now.

Hi, I'm on a Windows 7 machine running Chrome and I'm having the same issue. I've tried every suggestion including dropping the entire file, dropping one file, going to File > Upload File and trying all at once and one at a time, and I tried all of the same things on Firefox to no avail. Any more suggestions?

I had the same problem but found what was wrong.. we need to extract the files first in order to drag & drop them in the workspace.:)

I'm having this same problem. I'm using the most recent version of Firefox and when I try to drag the images into the Workspace side bar the dark grey box to drop them in does not show up. I switched over to Chrome to try it and the dark grey box appears in the side bar to drop the photos in but then after dropping them in nothing happens.

My uploads have been loading for a long time. I have restarter my browser (chrome) and computer....any other ideas? I can't continue with my lesson until they load....

Here's how I solved this problem, I created a folder on my desktop and opened that folder, next I selected all the photos except for ".DS_Store" and it worked from there.

I have had success uploading images and text files to TreeHouse Workspaces, using Firefox 43.x and Windows XP. Here's the secret!

Open your Workspace, and open the Explorer window where your files are located. Click-and-hold your file and drag it to the extreme left and bottom of your Workspace panel. If you look carefully, the tooltip changes to a little square with a + symbol next to it. Anywhere else, it's just a square. Drop your file where you see the plus. Your file lands in the root folder, but you can move it to the desired Workspace folder after it's uploaded.

So the basic problem is that it is not obvious there is a drop target in the lower-left part of the gray Workspace panel. Actually, Joe Steele, one of the Workspaces developers, pointed this out in one of the discussion groups, but did not emphasize it. I think it might help if the developers made that target area a little more obvious, with a line or with a slight shading. But upload itself works fine.

Take care all!
