*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 47574 *** This is not a duplicate of 47574. "between" does not indicate that the new URL should be placed between tabs, it does request to move files between different tabs - think file manager. Once I suggested that dragging and holding over any item should generate a left mous button click. This would have solved this case too... Yes, this is a logical, easy to implement feature. I intuitively expected it to exist. Same behavior as the task bar, for tab bars. and this is definately NOT a dupe of the above. Can somebody change that? I agree, this really needs to be implemnted. Her eis how it would be natural to work like: When I drag and drop a url, file etc. over a tab that tab should be opened as the active tab and once there I should b able to drag and drop it wherever I want inside the tab. This way, i can not only drag and drop stuff jsut in a tab, I can drag and drop stuff intp any directory in that tab. I agree, this really needs to be implemnted.

This way, i can not only drag and drop stuff jsut in a tab, I can drag and drop stuff intp any directory in that tab. Dragging a file oven an active tab and having the tab open is similar to the 'spring-loaded' mechanism for MacOSX (except in macosx, it works for folders; you drag a file over a folder and hold it there for a few seconds, then the folder opens up). I think this feature is pretty popular among their users. I think Mr. Radu meant that you drag a url/file and hold (not drop) it over a tab, then the tab opens, and then you can drag it further into the folder (or a subfolder of that folder) being displayed in that tab. Nevermind that. It was poorly explained and it is even flawed usability wise. Her eis what I really meant :p ***Drag and drop files/folders/urls support between tabs*** For example if I have my home directory opened in my active tab and I have another tab open with my Documents folder and I want to move one folder to the documents tab, I should be able to simply drag and drop it on the Documents tab which would work exactly as if I was dragging and dropping things from one window to the other. This should not work the way described above if it is not possible. For example if the user has dragged a Koffice file from a window to a tab with yahoo.com loaded in it, he obviously does not wish to copy or move it to yahoo.com which is an impossible action. Therefore, the user must be trying to view the content he dragged to that tab into that tab. Or if he is dragging a link from a website to a new tab that is blank or holding another website, than the link should be opened in that tab, because it certainly can't be copied. In a nutshell, it should work the same way it works between windows. For example if i have suse.com opena dn drag and drop a pdf or image onto that window it will be displayed, Konqueror will not make any attempts to copy the content to suse.com. This may be a little confusing. But, for the user it is very natural, he wouldn't even think about such things. This idea is part of a compilation of ideas to improve the way tabs are handled in Konqueror and by KDE in general. The list is not yet complete and a few of the entries appear to be duplicates, while some are original, most differ from other bugs.kde.org wishes by implementation. The list has been submitted to bugs.kde.org, but because the points were not separated, it was clsoed even though it received an overwhelming amount of votes and it currently holds a high rating on looky. Please READ IT HERE: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6319 Any suggestions are appreciated. I really want to iron out all the writting erros as well as logic errors out of the list before I separate and submit each wis individually. (of course I will read through it again too and dupes will not be submitted) Thanks a lot!!! Holding a drag over a tab activates the tab now in HEAD. |
