This is a pain if you use icon location as an organizational tool. Apple, can you have "Put Away" put the icon back where it was? And as long as I'm asking for Finder improvements: would you make it possible for application writers to put sicn's (small icons) into their BNDL's, and use those sicn's (if supplied) in small icon view and the MultiFinder switch icon? Squashing full-size ICN#'s down to half-size usually results in an unrecognizable glob. This is my biggest MultiFinder pet peeve. Thanks a lot! - David D.

Acoording to the preliminary stuff from the Developers Conference, you can not only this, but you can also put in color icons in various sizes. Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation --
