Dragging Folders into Folders in Admin does not work #1403

Closed alexgustafson closed 10 months ago

alexgustafson commented 1 year ago

When a user tries to move a folder into another folder the UI suggests that it would be possible but nothing happens after the drag event. No request is sent to the sever.

I am aware of the "Move files and/or folders" button in the admin, that is working fine. I think the drag and drop functionality should work for folder as well, or the UI should indicate that this is not possible.

Am I missing some configuration option? or is this a bug?

I am using the following:

Django==4.1.7 django-cms==3.11.3 django-filter==3.0.3

Potentially a bug...

I'm currently rewriting django-filer in order to get rid of all that legacy JavaScript code. Nobody is able to maintain that code without major headaches. I wrote a proposal some time ago.

Instead I use TypeScript with React using the DnD-Kit. The folder view then will behave more like we know it from Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder. Please wait a few weeks until I have a presentable prototype.

If you want to help, please provide icons in SVG. Filer currently uses small-n-flat icons. If you know of a more complete library, please let me know. Otherwise, I would need an icon for a non-empty folder. Maybe someone can create a folder icon using the provided folder and add some stuff to make it look filled.
