Description Knut Radloff CLA 2003-02-20 16:17:36 EST 
build 20030211

Drag moving out of Eclipse seems to be more cause of trouble than benefit.
Bug 30543 was opened because Mozilla defaults to a DROP_MOVE causing the file 
to be deleted without being moved anywhere.
Nick mentioned that whenever he drag moves out of Eclipse it's unintentional 
and a hassle.

It would be good if we could disable move when dragging out of Eclipse. 
Navigator and Package Explorer currently work around bug 30543 by ignoring any 
DROP_MOVE requests. The problem is that the drop target can still decide to do 
a DROP_TARGET_MOVE where the target initiates the move operation. The result is 
that we prevent some but not all drag move operations.
Visual Studio does something that causes the Windoes Explorer to default to a 
DROP_COPY instead of a DROP_TARGET_MOVE. We should try to do the same.
See bug 22666 for a discussion why we should either remove drag move from 
Eclipse->Windows or add drop move support for Windows->Eclipse. In light of the 
Mozilla problem it would be easier to remove the existing drag move.

Comment 4 Knut Radloff CLA 2003-04-07 11:44:46 EDT 
Should default to drag copy when dragging outside Eclipse.
Comment 5 Knut Radloff CLA 2003-09-02 17:13:31 EDT 
Reassigning to Nick since he is taking ownership of DND.
Comment 6 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2004-05-21 13:29:27 EDT 
Marking for LATER, please comment if you think this is important for 3.0.
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:22:21 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
