I was presenting today at a local user-group and my friend James Wamser from Sells Printing demonstrated a really cool trick when placing files.
When placing multiple files in CS3 and CS4s you will get a loaded cursor with the number of items loaded. If you want to add more items to your list you simply go back to the file menu and choose place. After choosing the extra files (they can even be in a new folder) they will be added to the number of items that you already have loaded.
This is really useful when you have a large amount of files that you are trying to place, but they are not in the same folder. Now you can place as much as you like regardless of where the files are located.
