A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar
Authored by: osxpounder on Thu, Nov 8 2007 at 9:05PM PST
"The sidebar sure isn't very intuitive."

I agree.

My big beef with it till now had been that I can't drag an item from an external drive without it disappearing from the Sidebar later when the drive isn't mounted. I wish they would just act like aliases.

I feel the same way about Dock items. I think the "poof" animaton and the action of dragging things off the Dock is all wrong, and confuses more than it helps. If you want to get something off the Dock, seems to me the logical thing to do is drag it into the Trash. Sheesh.
