Open folders interaction

from Stardock Forums
I have two questions. First, I routinely drag files onto minimized folders on my toolbar, which opens the window and lets me move the file there. I've been able to do this a few random times with objectdock, but I can't reproduce it. Does this feature exist? Is there a way to make it happen? Also, I really enjoy vista's ability to show two windows side-by-side. This requires me to ctrl-click a second folder in the toolbar and select "show windows side-by-side". I was wondering if there is a way to do this with to folders that are minimized to objectdock. Thanks for your help.

I think it does the first one(move the file into a open folder) in the same way as windows taskbar(by dragging and hovering over that folder taskbar for some time) and doesnt do the second one(show windows side-by-side).

Well, I've tried hovering, and it doesn't seem to work. Have you gotten it to work? Any secret? I'm running Vista sp1 32bit. Is there a way to add the other functionality?

It is designed to allow you to toss files into short cuts. If this be to open a file with that program or into the file folder of choice. Sometimes it can just depend on your aim. Try right clicking on the dock and choose lock dragging and see if that helps at all.

Do you have your docks locked? I find that dragging, even into the recycle bin, does not work with locked docks.
