Drag & drop (multiple) files to a printer icon.
I might have been overlooking something, but AFAIK, TC does not support "drag & drop" to printer, not from one TC pane to another (e.g. "printers"), nor from the TC window to the printer's shortcut, which I placed on the desktop. Is there any chance that a future version of TC could contain such function? (preferably keeping all actions within TC's window).

To my knowledge, this works only when the dragged file supports the "printto" verb.

Glad you pointed that out, but it was exactly what I meant (e.g. MS Word documents, Visio etc...).
In the meantime I found out that the problem only occurs in Windows 2000.
In XP drag & drop from TC to a printer shortcut on the "real" desktop works perfectly.
To the the same shortcut in TC's other pane, whether the path in the other pane is c:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\desktop\ or \\Printers and Faxes\ , > no result at all. TC only asks to confirm to copy the file to the other "location". I must admit that I did not try it on Vista yet.
