Description Dennis CLA 2006-04-08 22:37:36 EDT
Hello Eclipse Team....

Just a couple of quick suggestions for a future release.

1) Drop and Drop a file from within the IDE (and maybe even from outside the IDE), and be able to create a linked file when it is dropped on a project. Perhaps by holding down the "shift" key, or something like that.
2) Implement "copy" a file by drag and drop (and the new "create a linked file" option, if it gets implemented) from the file list created by the "Search" operation. Right now, it doesn't allow any drag operation from that window.
3) When entering a linked file manually, have the file name field, if blank, default to the name portion of the path/file string that is entered as the source file. And of course, if #1 gets implemented, it should also use the same default.

Thanks....

Dennis

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
