Geek Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/drag-files-between-spaces-osxlion.jpg" alt="Drag files and folders between Desktops in Mac OS X Lion" title="drag-files-between-spaces-osxlion" width="585" height="153" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22358" /></p> <p>One of the subtle changes in the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/mac-os-x-10-7-2-download/">Mac OS X 10.7.2 update</a> is the ability to drag files and folders between Desktops and Full Screen apps in Mission Control. All you need to do is <strong>grab a file or folder and start pulling the item off the screen in the direction of the Desktop or app you want to bring it to</strong>. There’s a brief second of resistance to prevent accidental dragging, and then the desktops rapidly switch over. </p> <p>For instance, now you can drag and drop a folder into the Full Screen Terminal app and it will <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/02/drag-drop-finder-items-into-the-terminal-for-their-full-path/">print the directory path</a> as usual, or you can drag images from one desktop into another with Photoshop open. This is a great little addition to boost productivity, although if you drag an item into the Dashboard Space it’s fairly useless.</p> <p>The drag and drop addition was briefly mentioned in the release notes but with all the excitement surrounding iOS 5 it was easy to overlook nearly all of the changes to OS X 10.7.2, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/how-to-setup-icloud/">other than iCloud</a> of course. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7asJIe4suTGslx1gOgkX-FPVvhQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7asJIe4suTGslx1gOgkX-FPVvhQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7asJIe4suTGslx1gOgkX-FPVvhQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/7asJIe4suTGslx1gOgkX-FPVvhQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q4mIK8KL2Uw:XRowB0-r8BY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/q4mIK8KL2Uw" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
