-> I just dragged a file off my shelf (just to clear the slot), and I
accidentally released it over a Terminal window. I expected it to disappear
from the shelf, but instead it's full path name appeared on the Terminal
window's command line! I'm running 3.0, and on a 2.x machine the file just
slid back to FileViewer. Works for any file dragged to a terminal window from
FileViewer's shelf or icon path. A small thing, but pretty cool.
Yeah, it's documented...Stuart will let you do it also...and the new stuart has
preferences to control the action...
Another thing I found, which may or may not be documented, is that you can drag
things into the open and save panels...e.g. drag a directory Icon into one and
it will jump to that directory....
