Someone noted this feature elsewhere in the forums (I looked, but can't find the thread), and I decided to make a video to explain it.

Panther's exposé feature allows you to drag files, text, images, etc. when windows are minimized or cleared off of the screen:

Not looking for another opportunity to show off Snapz Pro are we?

I'm really glad you posted that as I wouldn't have been able to work it out otherwise

[Judge_Fire]

Well, if I had Snapz Pro 2, I'd be making movies all day long, too

But yeah, nice movie. For newbies especially, I'm sure there are a bunch of people out there who haven't discovered the drag&drop of text selections, since it's still kinda hard. The initial lag is somehow wrong, IMHO.

I agree with you. It actually took me a few takes to get the video right, because I'd click to drag the text, but didn't wait long enough, so it de-selected it. :/

Nah; it's actually fun to make these videos, and I hope people find them useful. Exposé is my favorite OS X 10.3 feature (aside from the speed), so letting people know how to use it effectively is enjoyable.

No worries.

COOL!!! It took me a minute to figure out the lag...just hold for 2 seconds and then drop. Much slicker than copy/paste.

Ah yes, it was you -- I tried to find that thread, but didn't seem to manage -- I was searching for something with "Exposé" in the title.

Just hold down shift while you press F9, F10 or F11

Just hold down the Shift key when doing it. Here's a video of it:

hey you liar! it was me!! look at the name: tabarnak! it's me!

someone mention another cool tip in that thread. you can even do command-n in textedit to create a new doc while draggin.

hey moki, i have an idea for the launch of Snapz Pro 2! team up with apple to give a liscence to the one who create the best panther video! when i show stuff like exposé to my pc friend, they all freak out! but apple never show stuff like that to general public, so why don't we do one!

[Geobunny]

Instead of waiting for the window to spring open when you're draggin text/item onto it, hit the space bar (á la spring loaded folders). Works like a charm

Wouldn't you have a license to be making a video in the first place?

Perhaps a fat iTunes Music Store gift certificate, though I don't know how that would work internationally.

Yeah your right it was, sorry.

I completely misread your original post in that thread and basically explained the same thing in my own words. I was half asleep when I posted the reply. Sorry didn't mean to try and take the credit
