This is a great idea! Of course, this is somewhat the case now, with
the Font/DA Mover, but that just doesn't go far enough.
Now that you mention it, I'm finding it hard to believe that they
didn't do this from the beginning. This idea is so logical. It
_would_ mean that just about everyone would have systems and finders
which were significantly different from everyone else's, but we've
got that anyway, with so many damn system upgrades which some people
get and others don't. (Can you believe I saw someone with a Mac+
the other day using Finder 1.1?! I mean, they had to eject the
disk and turn the machine off to shut down!)
Let's hear from the Powers That Be on this one.
cheers, from
