Hi there,

Apologies for taking so long to respond - it has been a hectic month.  Flu 
viruses 
and whatnot.

FTP file dragging support: this would be interesting but would be an entirely 
different project.  FTP access is a lot more complicated than just accessing a 
file 
system. Your best bet would probably be to set up a "Remote Folder" in Vista as 
discussed here:

http://www.maximumpcguides.com/create-a-mapped-folder-to-an-ftp-location/

I have not tried this personally.  I would be interested to hear from you 
whether or 
not you can dreag such a folder into FolderSlice and have it work correctly; I 
suspect not.

At any rate I will keep this request in mind.  If I get some time I'll set up a 
junk 
FTP service somewhere and try this out.  Bear in mind such a function would 
necessarily be many times slower than the existing functionality as it would 
have to 
talk to the remote system about every single file and folder.

I'm chaning the label on this from "defect" to "enhancement" since I don't feel 
that "defect" is the right term.
