Since I have a few family & friends who are new to OS X thought I would take a quick second and post a simple hint. OS X does a great job of opening the finder for new applications when they are downloaded. Usually, the application wants to be dragged to the 'Applications' folder on the hard drive. In the past, I always opened up a new Finder window and then dragged the application from one window to the other - that is until I discovered the nifty trick presented here.
Here's a sample of a typical Finder window after an application is downloaded:
In the upper right hand corner, there is a button who's function is not immediately obvious:
Click the button and the finder window changes appearance:
Viola! Now you can drag the application right to the "Applications" folder on your hard drive. Enjoy!
