The many methods of opening a file
Authored by: fds on Jul 20, '06 08:44:39AM

Also don't forget that when dragging a file on a Dock icon, normally it only allows the drag operation to complete if the file's type is specifically registered as something the application can understand.

If you press Command-Option while dragging, it allows you to drop anything on any application.

Command-Option-drag

Yes, and you can add the Command & Option keys at any point; they don't have to be down before you click. I like to drag an icon to the Dock and check to see that it highlights the app icon. If not, just tap Command & Option to force it.
