Comma trick: (lots of heavy...

Comma trick: (lots of heavy breathing) I had no idea. It’s so cool I feel a buzz. Wonderful. And drag from the bezel? I’d never even tried it. All this time I’d been using QS to reveal the location and then drag that into the file dialog. Sheesh, this just cut the effort to less than half. Excellent!
