The main problem here is that Drag & Drop is not an accessible method of doing things, nor is it obvious without an extra label explaining that you can/need to drag something. Given that, I don't think having DnD for opening/saving is much of an issue, so long as it isn't the primary/only method for doing those actions. In fact, in most all cases, you can drag a file to the application, to open it, anyway. -- dobey On Enj , 2004-05-13 at 19:14 +0200, Markus Bertheau wrote: > We should probably ask the usability people about that: > > В Чтв, 13.05.2004, в 18:51, Tom Badran пишет: > > On Thu, 2004-05-13 at 17:46 +0100, Martin Ebourne wrote: > > > The save box that pops up when you 'File Save' has an icon which you > > > drag.
