Scrap Containers
Posted: 2008 Feb 19, 13:53
The operation of the Scrap Containers is puzzling.
1. Open a scrap container. It is visible on screen.
2. Select a file to add to the scrap container. The scrap container is immediately minimised to the Windows taskbar. Why? I'm using it and want it to be visible.
3. I must then drag-drop or CTRL-S to the taskbar (there's nowhere else to go). In the case of drag-drop the scrap container re-appears and I'm told that I can't drag-drop to the taskbar after all. So I then drop the files in the scrap container, which is all I wanted to do in the first place. For CTRL-S, clicking on the taskbar causes the scrap container to re-appear. If I want to add more items I must repeat this mini-ritual.
The (excellent!) User Manual doesn't seem to mention this odd quirk.
Why doesn't the scrap container remain visible so drag-drop and CTRL-S can be done directly to it?
Windows XP Pro, SP2.
