Drag icons from unfocused windows without switching focus
Authored by: NeutronMonk on Apr 24, '03 08:43:03AM

It seems that nobody has considered the effects of spring-loaded folders and windows, configureable under Finder preferences. When I drag a folder from a focused window to a non-focused window, it remains un-focused if I'm fairly quick with the action; if I lollygag for a moment, the focus will follow, dependent on how fast the action is set up under Finder preferences.

Yes, that is true.

mmm... maybe the title of the hint should have read "drag icons
from unfocused applications...".

As a side effect though, you get to see the spring loaded folder
scale in low motion due to the shift key ^_^ (I had only see
that in Dock scaling and when selecting a user in the login
window). Really useful :-D
