8.1 Drag & Drop

NeoFinder is very nicely integrated into macOS by using drag & drop.

Here is a list of thing you can do in NeoFinder that way.


Drag a volume or
folder from the Finder into NeoFinder to catalog it.

Drag a catalog from NeoFinder to the Finder to
Export it to a text or XML format

Drag a file from a NeoFinder Catalog to the Finder to copy it to that location

Drag a file from the Finder into NeoFinder to
Import it, if it is a known foreign catalog or export format. Note, that due to the very ambiguous file name suffix schemes, there are uncounted file formats named .xml, for example, and it is a much better idea to use the Import Manager in NeoFinder to specify what format you want to import.

Drag a file from a NeoFinder catalog into a
NeoFinder Album to add it to the Album

Drag catalogs in the NeoFinder LIBRARY
into folders in that same library to group them

Drag Albums into
Album Groups

Drag Smart Folders into
Smart Folder Groups

Drag a photo from the Finder or a web page into the
Find Similar Photos windows to find similar photos in NeoFinder

Drag a Keyword from the Controlled Vocabulary on a file in a NeoFinder catalog to add that keyword to the file, if that is possible

Drag a Keyword from the Controlled Vocabulary on the Finder Tags or XMP Keywords text editor in the Inspector to add it

Drag a Person from the Person List on a file in a NeoFinder catalog to add that keyword to the file, if that is possible

Drag a Person from the Person List on the XMP Persons text editor in the Inspector to add it
