System Requirements
A Power Macintosh (or compatible) with Mac OS 7.5 or later. A 680x0 version is also available.
Version 1.6 - New features
- Added "Hide Control Strip during the drag" option.
Version 1.5 features
- Smart Window extends his functionalities to all applications; the user can now take advantage of Smart Window while dragging objects between windows of different applications, improving the way to work with multiple applications;
- Two keyboard shortcuts let the user collapse one window or all windows of the same application while continuing the drag & drop sequence;
-Automatic hide of the Control Strip (if present), giving to the user a greater viewable area;
- Smart Window now forces the update of the windows, keeping clearer the context of the drag & drop operation; unfortunately, at now only the Finder supports this feature, but I hope in the near future an encreasing number of applications will completely take benefit of Smart Window ; - )
Description
Smart Window helps the user to navigate the windows during a drag&drop operation.
Moving a drag selection over a collapsed window's title bar, Smart Window will automatically expand that window, letting the user choose the drop location exactly (or continue the navigation using the Finder "spring-loaded folders" feature); as soon as the drag is completed or the user moves the drag selection over another window, the auto-expanded window will be collapsed again automatically.
If the user moves the drag selection over a partially hidden window and the owning application is in the foreground, Smart Window will put in front that window, letting the user see its content entirely.
While dragging over a normal window's title bar, the user can decide to collapse it pressing the Control key or collapse all windows of the application that owns that window pressing the keys Control + Option; depending on the user preferences, at the end of the drag&drop sequence, Smart Window will restore the status of all windows collapsed with one of the keyboard shortcuts.
Smart Window is an application that works transparently and does not require a particular installation, so the user will never face extension conflicts.
Note for the Macintosh Plus users: considering the absence of the Control key from the keyboard, the shortcuts above become Command and Command + Option.
