OSX and it's method of "picking up" stuff.

If I hover over a window title bar and click on it I expect it to become attached to my cursor. In fact, it's the single biggest bugbear I have in OSX, everything that would take one click in windows seems to require two. Want to focus on a window and select...2 clicks please Bob. Want to click and drag...two clicks please Bob....**** OFFF!!!!!!

Rant over - but seriously, when you do a lot of file manipulation it gets a bit irritating. There probably is a way to change this but really, who gives a **** about that?

Click and hold, just like Windows.

Also, not sure what the need to double-click everything is, that is only necessary to open files.

I have given a bad example. It's mainly when going between programs with open dialog boxes, you have to click the program and then click the dialogue box. It's a PITA when you're using search and replace in multiple apps.

The only person talking about double clicking is you. There is a very clear difference between a process requiring two clicks and a single action requiring a double click.

If there is a dialog and the app is not in focus, you can just click the button you want, once.

Your examples are awful.

I understand how the process works in theory, but trust me, it doesn't work well in practice.

If I want the search dialogue box in dreamweaver I have to click on dreamweaver and then click on the search dialogue box, rather than just click directly on the dialogue box. When we are debugging this is done continually and becomes very irritating.

Maybe if your code wasn't such a piece of crap, you wouldn't have to do so much debugging. Not to mention Deamweavers ridiculous interface, why have one unified window when you can have 35, wi 40 buttons on each interface. Nice job Adobe. Maybe you should also force your users to add a load of code just to validate fields. Oh wait, you do that.

Bring back Frontpage. At least MS never pretended it was any good.

1) Stop taking the p**s. You work in banking FFS.
2) Legacy code is always a PITA.
3) It isn't my code, but it is my problem.

Dreamweaver's interface works great for us as we split across a coding monitor and a palette monitor. We only use it in code view though. I'd rather use a different IDE but it saves time to stick to one that everyone knows.

You know they had to invent a new acronym just for Adobe Dreamweaver?

Go to trackpad and enable three finger drag.

Nonsense, the smoke and mirrors brigade have been pumping the public full of that **** for years. How on earth do you think they got the Euro past most of Europe?

Go to trackpad and enable three finger drag.

We have a winner! It works with moving folders/files in Finder too!

That was my biggest gripe with finger: click and drag. If I want to move a pornographic movie from my desktop to a nested folder. It usually requires punching my keyboard three or four times to ensure that I can hold on to the icon long enough to complete the task.

So I have to invest in a £59 trackpad for my entire team? BRILLIANT! I Love you Steve!!! *

* I don't really give a ****. I'll just offset the cost to the client.
