File Manager Drag and Drop

• Select an icon from File Manager and drop it on a minimized icon on the desktop.

  OW: Results in appropriate action. If dropped on Print Tool, then the file would be printed. The OpenWindows environment does not have a Front Panel on which to drop icons.

  CDE workspace: Does not support drops on minimized icons. The Front Panel offers functionality similar to OW drag and drop. For example, dropping a selected icon on the Print control in the Front Panel results in the file being printed.

• Select and drop an icon on the workspace/desktop area.

  OW: Would result in that icon being launched or executed.

  CDE: Creates a reference to the dropped item. The original icon still appears in File Manager.
