    Dragging & Dropping files

    According to the release notes for Betas 2 & 3: "True “Drag and Drop functionality - a long awaited feature that lets you seamlessly drag and drop files and folders from Windows to Mac OS X and vice versa".

    How to do this is probably so obvious that I have overlooked it. But I have not been able to drag files in either direction, using 3094. When I try from the Mac side, the file just keeps jumping back to the Mac. When I try from the Windows side, it bumps into the window and won't leave it. Would appreciate the "solution", so that I can move the Garmin maps that I create but can't hotsync, to the Mac for installation.

    Can anyone help with this? I really need to be able to drag files from the Windows VM to my Mac desktop.
    Thanks

    OK. Just in case anyone else is interested, I found the answer. When I updated, Parallel Tools was not automatically installed. Upon installing them, I found that my mouse pointer could now move freely between the Windows screen and the Mac screen, enabling me to copy files from one to the other. I guess this was obvious to all but me.
