Switching back to Envelope-screen

I use Courier a lot to quickly send files through my server to clients. However, I often run into delivering 1 file, switching back to Finder, dragging another file to courier and having to let it go because Courier is still on the Delivery-screen. Could you perhaps tell me how to work around that or maybe add something that overcomes that?

I know, it's a lazy-problem, but it's something I've been running into quite often and it's a bit of an annoyance.. ;)

   Hi Michiel

   Thanks for your message. If you drop them onto the Dock icon are you not able to choose an Envelope there?

   Thanks!

   Hey Nik,

   Dropping an item on the Dock allows me to add a file to some sort of queue (the blue bar). My usual workflow is having Courier on the Envelope-screen > cmd+tab to finder and drag file > cmd+tab to Courier > drop file > deliver. Adding files to said queue still requires me to first click back to the envelope-screen, then click confirm, and then deliver. That's not really faster. (although it looks faster now that I've typed it out... but trust me, it isn't ;) )
   Now, I'm not a programmer, so my idea might not be possible, but in my own experience what would work is if Courier somehow knew I'm dragging another file and switch back to the envelope-screen, allowing me to drop the file onto an envelope.

   Thanks for your reply, btw!

   Hi Michiel

   We'll look into this in the future! In the mean time, you could try using the Services menu. Right-click on any item and choose the relevant envelope via the Services menu "Deliver to " option.

   Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

   Kind regards,

   Nik
