Interesting. I use column view quite a lot (list view more), but I have never tried dragging a preview image to move or copy a file. I used to have previews turned off, but I left them on in 10.6 to no ill effects. (They used to really drag the system down, especially on video files). Generally I have list views sorted by date modified or size, so column view is not as useful to me as it once was (I used to use a lot more levels of folders. ~/Documents/Work/2009/April/<filename> but I don't do that anymore. I will either sort by date created or date modified or embed the dates into the filenames. -- 'The trouble with my friend here is that he doesn't know the difference between a postulate and a metaphor of human existence.
