The DropMover Widget displays a keypad, which can be used to move or copy files and folders to specified folders, or to open applications, data files and web pages.

April 04, 2008 · version 2.7.3Repost: good news bad news
ScottyGood news and bad news with this latest version :
The good news. Dropping a file onto a folder shortcut correctly sends the file to the target folder. Cool!
The bad news. Dropping a file onto an application shortcut now does nothing at all. As you know, previously the file would be opened in the default application (regardless of the application button on which the file was being dropped). Now, nothing at all happens.

No joy but ... an idea.
MerlinVersion 3.0 has an extensive logging to file capability which you can set up and turn on in the "Errors" preference pane. This would almost certainly reveal the problem. My current guess is that your Office apps have a .EXE extension in upper case, whereas the Widget expects .exe. I'll put up a version that ignores the case of the extensions in the next few minutes (at the same tinyurl link).

No joy, but thanks anyway
ScottyMerlin - thanks for the quick response :-) It's a shame that data files dropped onto Windows application keys just open the files in the default app. This greatly diminishes the utility of that aspect of DropMover, because I can achieve the same outcome just by double-clicking on the file. The new version (reads as v3.0 on the "about" dialog) still does not accept Office apps. When you check the "Allow Drop Action" box - I get the "not an application" message. … More
