Hi,
- I never liked drag and drop to move files/folders. To many times I have moved complete folders by mistake and spent lots of time recovering them. (That doesn't mean you can't like it!)
- Besides that, it's not easy to implement. Have a look at https://github.com/andersmelander/Drag-and-Drop-Component-Suite. I would have to add something similar.
Right now you have 2 options to copy/move files. 1) Via shortcuts (Keyboard)
- Select the files you want to copy/move.
- Use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-X to put the filenames on the clipboard
- Navigate to the destination folder.
- In the FileList use CTRL-V
2) Via the Context-Menu (= RightClick in Filelist, or Folder)
- Select the files you want to copy/move.
- In the FileList. RightClick, and choose Copy/Move from the popup menu.
- Rightclick on the destination folder in the Browse pane and choose Paste from the popup menu or
- Navigate to the destination folder and RightClick in the filelist, choose Paste from the popup menu
Looking at the code as it is now, I see 2 things that I could improve.
- The Browse pane (Treeview with the folders) does not accept shortcuts (CTRL-C, CTRL-X and CTRL-V).
- Using CTRL-V does not allow pasting directories.
Would it help you if I added that?
About the coffee. Very friendly of you! But I'm not accepting any money or gifts. Your appreciation is my reward.

Add the ability to drag and drop file(s) from the Filelist Tab to a different folder location in the Browse pane. Presumably to mimic the Windows file explorer actions, but my specific need is to Move the file.
Oh... and is there a place to Buy you a Coffee ?
