Adding your own drag-and-drop applications

To speed up your work, you can add an application you frequently use to the unassigned drag-and-drop icons. You can then send an image to the application by dragging a saved image onto the icon and dropping it there.

Example: You may routinely rework scanned images in the MacDraw® Pro application. Ordinarily, you must scan an image, copy it, and paste it into a MacDraw Pro document. With a MacDraw Pro drag-and-drop icon, you can simply scan and save a series of images and then drag the thumbnails, one by one, onto the icon. MacDraw Pro automatically opens the image in a new document.

To add your own drag-and-drop application:

1 If necessary, open the Dispatcher window.

Unassigned drag-and-drop icon

2Click one of the icons labeled Unassigned.

A dialog box opens.
