Comments on: 4 Ways to Improve Saving Documents http://stealthisidea.com/articles/gui-titlebar-tweaks/ Philip Haine's articles on Product Vision, Innovation and Design Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:38:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: davidc http://stealthisidea.com/articles/gui-titlebar-tweaks/comment-page-1/#comment-2154 davidc Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:42:07 +0000 http://stealthisidea.com/?p=406#comment-2154 This reminds me of one of my ideas for dealing with drag and drop. I came up with it when envisioning a better way to attach files to email messages. As you start to drag a file, all of the various open windows become iconized, much like Expose, making it easy for you to find the right target to drag to. You could also create new drop targets for common locations, like the Trash, My Documents folder, etc if they aren't currently open. Finally, you actually can drag a document on the Entourage icon in your Mac OS X Dock. It will attach to the frontmost outgoing message. Or if there isn't one, it will create a new one.
