I wonder how other MacBook users fare with the trackpad.
Synfire heavily makes use of mouse gestures like right-click menus and drag/drop. While most things can also be done with copy/paste, it is drag/drop that's most convenient and intuitive. Until now I always used a mouse with a MacBook, but when you're travelling, the trackpad should work as well. We want to update the user manual to include this topic.
Maybe it's just me, but I still have to figure out how to use the trackpad for drag & drop. System settings for the trackpad has drag & drop enabled. Still I can't seem to hold onto anything (files, folders) and drag them. Neither with one finger, nor with two or more.
While I'm looking for a solution, I'd like to know: Is that an issue for you as well? Do you prefer to use a mouse, or did you resort to copy/paste?

I use trackpad, external pad most, In logic I use three finger to select and move, in mac system preferencs, go to Accessibility, Mouse & Trackpad, Option, three finger drag. I use three finger drag in Synfire to drag and works well most of the time if you know what you are doing.
