Dragging tabs to other panels

#1 Post by BGM » 21.11.2012, 18:55

FC will let you drag a folder tab from one panel to the next. Problem is that you don't get any kind of overlay icon to let you know it is working - until - you happen to drag over an existing tab, or you pause for a moment over the tabbar and then begin to move again.

I think you should get a nice overlay icon like when you drag a file from FC to some other application window, or when you drag a file, or when you drag a folder from a folder panel onto the tabbar.

I also think that you should get a little triangle to pop up to mark the spot where you want to move the tab to, like when you move a tab to another position in the same panel.

Also, if you drag a folder onto the tabbar, it will open the folder. But if your tabbar is full, you don't have anywhere to drag it to. I think that when you drag a folder over the tabs in the tabbar, you ought to get the little "positioning arrow" when you hover in-between the tabs, and the "move" arrow when you hover over the tabs.

Do you mean such icons to show the action?

No problem on my system.

Ralf, there are two modes at work here.

Try dragging a folder to the tabbar in the SAME panel.

Now, try dragging a tab to the tabbar in the OTHER panel.

You just wanted to show off your colorful tabs!

No, then I think I misunderstood you question.

For my system: I have overlay icons with each operation.
