One good reason for being able to put files on the desktop is to select
multiple files in diffent folders/volumes and force an application in a
different folder/volume to open the document(s). I seem to be doing this all
the time with Edit/File/MacWrite and downloaded text files. Having to have
both the application and document in the same folder if the documents creater
is not the application is a major pain. Equally important, why can't I select
multiple files in different folders/volumes? This seems like a reasonable
thing to have. How many times have you had to do a painfully slow finder
file copy just to do something simple like open multiple files.
****FLAME ON****
If Apple really thinks that it is easier to convince 300,000 users that you
really don't need desktop files rather than spending a little extra coding
time doing it better, they are (I hope) sadly mistaken.
****FLAME OFF****
