[dsdp-tm-dev] Common Navigator 'Drag and Drop' fixes

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave, Rado

 

in the Platform team, there's currently work underway to improve drag&drop in the Common Navigator. See the E-Mail below for a list of issues that they are trying to address.

 

This may be a great opportunity for us to address some DND related problems. In case we need something from the Platform, they are currently certainly more open to help than at any other time. I'm thinking of these two specifically, which have been on our "Known issues and Workarounds" list like forever:

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153652

DaveM: [usability] Cannot Copy & Paste / Drag&Drop to Project Explorer

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196176

Rado / SWT: [DND] Need API for deferred transfer of remote files to Windows Explorer through drag&drop

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181458

Blocked by the SWT one: [usability] Cannot Copy & Paste / Drag&Drop remote files to Windows Explorer

 

Take the chance now if you can.

 

Thanks,
