First of all, In OD+ 1.9, I can drag an item from one area to another. But how do I
duplicate it, so it can appear filed in more than one place? For
example, an editor that appears both under "Development" and "Text". I've tried the usual ways, and nothing works.
This is on a different machine than the one I originally tried to use it on, BTW.
Dragging shortcuts onto the tabbed dock seems to do different things different times. It may copy the launch information from the shortcut, or it might point to the shortcut itself (e.g. CapSnapper). What's going on? With the 4NT command shell, it did the former, and there is no "Font" or "Layout" panes, and it doesn't have the settings from the original shortcut.
I accidently chose "Delete" on the shortcut item I made for OpenOffice, which opened a submenu. I set it up again as a "custom menu" because dragging the shortcut didn't, and there is no way to change that option it seems. Upon deleting the old one, the new one didn't work anymore either. It seems "Delete" on the context menu means delete the thing the shortcut is referencing, but leave the shortcut alone. This is such a "gotcha" that I did it again even once I knew that! In the Explorer menu system, "Delete" of a shortcut deletes only the shortcut. This is a real ergonomic problem. What would be the point of deleting the pointe-to item but leaving a shortcut for it, anyway?
On the OpenOffice one in particular, I saw that the one set-up when I dragged it had a custom icon for the folder. I could not find that icon anywhere when I set one up manually. Where can it be?
I hope to hear from someone.
