Tiger has killed this feature!
Didn't notice this because I hardly use Column View, (I find the view options in Column View too limited) the behaviour you're looking for does work in list view though.

And as a little ad-on, this works only if you don't drag on the icons themselves, but a nit to the right of them.
Workarounds are not solutions.
The second I start doing 2 or 3 extra steps to accomplish the same thing is when I feel like I've taking a couple (if not a few) steps backwards from improving an already great OS!

I experimented a bit more and it DOES work in Column View, your columns just have to be wide enough.
I'll be damned!
I tried making my columns as wide as the screen and it wasn't working for me. Actually it doesn't even matter how wide the columns are it's just REALLY picky about HOW you start the middle drag.

Since you can switch really fast between the two view with Command-2 and Command-3 maybe this is an option for you? Hot diggity. I've been using Mac OS since System 6.x and I am stunned at how much I don't know few menu bar "hints." I'm a somewhat knowledgeable OS X user (run SSL-enabled Apache, BIND, VNC over SSH tunnel, PERL-and-AppleScript-assisted backup, etc.) so I don't really spend a lot of time in menu bars anymore. Yet so much functionality is stored there. We really are at a stage where our computers and operating systems are arguably too complex. Small additions to features (e.g. Smart Folders) have massive ramifications that take years to fully register, and here I am and I've been clicking on Finder's toolbar widgets rather than Cmd-2 and Cmd-3. Thanks for the tip. |
