I am testing RSE-SDK-M20061213-0730.zip

It would be convenient if one could drag from the Remote System View into the Remote Monitor View to create a monitor.

Right now, you can right-click > Monitor so this is an enhancement request. In case the monitor gets merged with the Details (Table) view, you can also lock the view against the current selection in the tree.

Note that when you drag a folder from the Remote Systems Tree into a folder that's already being shown in the monitor, you'd essentially copy that folder. So, the DropTarget needs to be considered (i.e. the location inside the monitor where you drag to).

I do agree that some people like drag&drop and this seems like a nice goodie.
Assigning to our UI expert DaveD for further discussion.

Not sure about this one yet. Accepting for now but may route to DaveM for further work.
