Q: Window Tabs: dragging the window tab to the desktop
-
Oct 23, 2013 6:49 PMby Barney-15E,I'm not sure I follow the first part. If you drag a tab out of a window, it opens that tab into its own window. No need to log out.
If I select a window from the list, it opens the window. If I select Show All Windows, it opens App exposé showing all the windows. Click one and it will open.
If you are not getting that behavior, try booting into Safe Mode and see if it still causes the wrong behavior.

If right-click Finder dock icon, select Show All Windows, you can highlight miniture window but still cannot move or doing anything with it. Looks cute but is totally non-functional. It would be great if you could miniturize windows like that and set up a sort of dock for them and click to open. Now I just these little windows cluttering up my desktop background. I'll keep checking.

No, a tiny "minimized" window appears on the desktop.
This tiny window cannot be moved but can be selected in the menu I mentioned.
Did you try in Safe Mode?
Also try in a new User (or Guest).
If it is getting stuck in the proxy icon stage, and not opening to a full window, something is hanging the Finder.
Take a look in the Console, All Messages, and see if there are anything related to the Finder at that time.

I don't experience this on a guest account. I tried disabling all login items for my main account, to see if third-party software was causing it, but this had no effect.

Oct 30, 2013 3:29 AMby Rookthecrook,Hi roninkai I'm also experiencing this behaviour, if you drag a finder window by its tab on to the desktop it creates a mini finder window that doesn't do anything. I keep doing it by mistake.
You can get rid of them by doing a Force Quit on the Finder from the Apple menu, this quickly refreshes the desktop and then they disappear.
Hope they fix this in the next point release.
Cheers

Oct 30, 2013 11:15 AMby roninkai,Here is what I think should be done:
Lock single tabs from being dragged to the desktop so you do not grab them by accident.
Add a small rule (or other graphic indicator) to seperate the tab from the rest of the window so you do not grab it instead of the menubar. It's just frustrating the way it is now.
Force the tabs to be left justified and tighter to the window name so they don't run the length of the window, right now it looks clumsy and not up to Apples standards.
Where in the heck is the prference panel for the tabs? Needs to be added to "general" in system prefs or in the finder preferences.

It is not supposed to do what you are seeing. I don't know what is causing it.
I can drag tabs to the desktop and it will open the window on the desktop. The little window you see is just part of the animation, but it doesn't seem to work for you.
