Open Files with App Switcher

Using the Application Switcher to open files can sometimes be faster than hunting for an Application's window or searching through a jam packed Dock for an Application's icon. First grab your file, press Command-Tab, and then drop the file onto the desired application's icon to open it within that program.

ResEdit Template Goof

ResEdit Template Goof -- In our last issue, which was the last HyperCard stack, I had planned to include a ResEdit fmnu template to aid in editing the System 7 Finder (for those of you who didn't see that issue, it included a number of ways to modify your Finder to make it faster, more useful, or merely different). But in the flurry of the season, I forgot. So, I've put the template up on our fileserver (it's only 714 bytes) for anyone to request. It is Binhexed, so you will need to deBinhex it after downloading. Then you can install it in your ResEdit Preferences file as I outlined in TidBITS-099/Finder_Fun. To receive this file, send email to fileserver@tidbits.halcyon.com or fileserver@tidbits.uucp with the single word (no quotes) "template" in the Subject: line.
