Then why does it still have that ugly, 100% fail save dialogue?
Somebody went to all the trouble of writing drag-icon-to-save
functionality and thought it best to hide it where nobody would think to
look rather than integrate it into the standard save dialogue possibly
with the option to turn the old shit one off.
Also, what happens if you try and use this functionality and drag the
icon into an application which isn't finder?
