[MacDV] Re: OS X interface issues

I'm not sure what you're talking about (jumping around), but say I 
insert a memory card and open its window. Then I open a window for the 
hard disk. It didn't used to happen, but now windows open so that the 
lower part is below the bottom of the monitor. I have to maximize the 
window (to shrink its height) before I can get to the sizer in the 
lower right corner. Then I have to resize and move it to fit beside the 
other window. AT LAST I am ready to copy over photos.

Yes, I know about copy and paste and sometimes I think to do that, but 
it's still a lot of scrolling columns around to do simple operations. I 
still have to find out the last photo number on the hard disk before I 
know which numbers to select and copy from the card.

A static bar at the side will be very welcome. OK, so it's Windows 
Explorer. At least we have column view as an option on the right side. 
But they have thumbnail view, including in open and save dialogs - 
incredibly useful in my work. I have no idea why Apple hasn't offered 
anything like that yet. :-(
