- hi...
-
- I'm wondering if the following utilites (or anything close to 'em) exist
- or are being planned into the next system release...this is basically
- a wish list but hopefully santa will come early this year and tell me
- "go look in blah/blah/blah on sumex for that one"
-
- I'm running system 7.0 + tune up and using beheirarch (sp?) on a Mac II.
-
- WISH 1: I'd like to be able to move a file from an open window to a particular
- sub-folder by just dragging the file over to the hard-disk icon (or any folder
- on the desktop)and having a menu of all the sub-folders pop up similar to the
- way beheirarch pops up menus and submenus for folders & nested folders under
- the apple menu...this way..instead of opening up the window for the hard-disk
- and the several layers down using a non-icon view, the menu would just pop up
- and I could bury the file in the harddisk from the desktop....
-
- ??? DOES THIS FEATURE ALREADY EXIST SOMEWHERE ???
-
- WISH 2: Regarding the new drag and drop feature used to open files from the
- application you drag them to....it seems that my Mac will only recgonize
- files created by the application you drag them to...for example...if I drag
- a generic document (which MS Word CAN open from its file menu when viewing
- all readable files) to the Word application icon it won't highlight and I
- can't open it this way...but it works great if I drag a Word file to the Word
- application....is there a way to force Word to open the generic document?
-
- okay I know this one is kinda picky but it would be a nifty convience if there
- was a way..
-
-
- that's it....thanks for any help you can give and if you're interested in
- the same kinda utils....write me and I'll send ya a copy of what I get..
