Files and File contents

You can drag files directly from the Informator window into your opened documents. There are two options for dragging:

a. Dragging files

To drag a file from the Informator window use the "drag-and-drop" icon. When dragging the icon, the same takes place as if you would drag a file from the Finder This means for a lot of applications (e.g. Adobe Indesign) that you set up a reference to the dragged file.

b. Dragging file contents
Not all applications allow you to drag a file into a document. Most applications nevertheless allow dragging of file contents (for example dragging of pictures from application to application). That's why we added a function into the Informator which enables the extraction of the contents (picture or text) of a file when dragging. For this simply press the Option and Control key when dragging. When e.g. dragging a text document, the text itself will be inserted. There is no connection left between the inserted text and the original file.
