MacBook Tip - Drag Files to the Dock

April 1st, 2007 · No Comments

Mac OS XHere’s a quick tip that will be a bit un-intuitive at first for those of you converting to Windows, but makes life much easier once you get used to it.

If you have a file that isn’t automatically associated with a particular program, or you want to open it with a different app than usual, you can simply drag the file onto the app’s icon in the dock!

The reason I say this is unintuitive for Windows users is the infamous “You can’t drag an item onto a button on the task-bar” message. Well, I got over it and you will too!
