- I want a "Lock Shelf Item" feature in Workspace File Viewer.
- Since a lot of things now supports drag and drop from workspace,
- I keep losing files/directories placed on the shelf by dragging those
- into applications.
-
- Default action should be what it is -- remove from shelf if dragged out,
- but there should be an option to lock down shelf items individually, so
- you can drag a directory from shelf to Save/Open panels without waiting
- for it to appear in the Icon Path (which is slooow).
-
- This should solve your problem without cluttering Save/Open panels.
