Inconsistant drag and drop behaviour to buttons bar.

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Inconsistant drag and drop behaviour to buttons bar.

Post by *petermad »

Dragging with shift+left mouse key doesn't behave the same way as dragging with left+right mouse key (moving), when dragging to buttons in the button bar.

1. Make a button for a folder by dragging the folder to the button bar.
2. Select a file and drag it to the new button holding down both left and right mouse key and release the left key when over the new button - the file is moved to the folder as expected.
3. Now, select another file and drag it to the new button while holding down the shift key - when releasing the left mouse key, a button pointing to the file is made in the button bar - not expected!

This is by design - it's the only way to insert a button between two others when there is no space between the buttons!

This is also documented in the help on Drag&Drop:
>>You can also drop files on the button bar. If you drag a file onto an icon, the corresponding program is started with this file (or the first marked file). If you drag a file on a blank space in the bar, or if you hold down the SHIFT key during the drop, the file will be inserted into the bar at this position.<<
