- Glidel 2.0, September 8, 1993
- by Gilles Berkovitch <GB136@calvacom.fr>
-
- *** WHAT ***
- Glidel is a freeware system extension to Drag-and-Drop icons on
- the Finder's Menu Items (that works only with System 7).
-
- *** HOW ***
- 1/ The action performed depends on where you drag-and-drop a selection to:
-
- -- The Apple Menu Icon: move the selection to the "Apple Menu Items" folder.
- -- A Folder in the Apple Menu: move the selection to that folder.
- -- An Application in the Apple Menu: same action performed as would do
- drag-and-dropping the selected file on the application's icon.
-
- -- An Item in the File Menu: same as selecting the file in the finder
- then choosing a File Menu Item [One of: Open, Print, Get Info,
- Sharing..., Duplicate, Make Alias or Put Away].
-
- -- The Application Menu Icon: move the selection to the "System" folder.
- -- An Item in the Application Menu: same action performed as would do
- drag-and-dropping the selected file on the application's icon.
-
- 2/ Hierarchical Menus
- -- Glidel works well with hierarchical menus such as those from
- BeHierarchic 1.0.5, NowMenus 3.0.2 and 4.0.1, SuperBoomerang 4.0.1,
- and also with the "Finder's windows" in ApplWindows 2.0.2.
- -- Glidel also works with menu creating utilities like OtherMenu 1.2.2,
- and AliasMenu 1.1 (in wich case drap-and-dropping on their MenuBar
- Icons send the file to the "relevant" folder).
-
- 3/ Duplication and Aliases Creation
- -- If one press the option key when drag-and-dropping, a "duplicate" of
- the file will be moved or opened.
- -- If one press the control key when drag-and-dropping, a "alias" of
- the file will be moved or opened.
-
- *** HISTORY AND CHANGES ***
- -- Glidel 2.0: Cursor change when using Glidel, Alias creation,
- Compatibility with (most) hierarchical menus utilities.
- Better selection management and no more tail patch use.
- -- Glidel 1.x: Various Improvements
- -- Glidel 1.0: First Release
