    Any way get this removed feature back? (Drag into file dialog)

    **EDIT: this feature hasn't been removed, but it seems to not work under some (unknown) circumstances.** On previous versions of macOS, if you encountered an "open file" dialog, rather than using the dialog to navigate all the way to the folder you need, if you already had a Finder window open with the file you need, you could just drag the file into the dialog window. Instead of copying or moving the file into whatever folder the dialog had open, there was a special case behavior: the dialog would switch to the folder which contained the dragged file, and select that file. As far as I know, this feature has been there since the PowerPC days. In recent versions of macOS, they nixed this feature. Now, the dialog window behaves just like another Finder window. If you drag a file into it, the system assumes you want to move / copy the file into that window, just as if you had dragged a file between two finder windows. I really, really lament the removal of this feature. Maybe there is some obscure user defaults flag I can change to get this feature back? https://preview.redd.it/tp3wn4fuym8e1.png?width=797&format=png&auto=webp&s=82850c34118dd3581f2fd859fd10367978c114d3
