[QUOTE="remain, post: 472432, member: 23182"] Don't think of it as "a Windows thing." That's a bit silly in my opinion. It's not as if whoever did something first is the only one who's "allowed" to use that something. I mean, it's not like "drag 'n' drop" is a "Mac OS thing." (or if it was invented by Xerox, a "Xerox thing"?) Every OS uses drag 'n' drop nowadays. If there is a good idea, many will use it. Call it "inspired" if you're an optimist, call it "copied"/"stolen" if you're a pessimist; it doesn't make any difference. On a related note, drag 'n' dropping files from a folder to another one "higher" up the hierarchy will be easier in Leopard, seeing as the Finder now has a Path Bar: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/mac_finder_path_bar.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
