#5671: Replace source/destination paths on drag&drop --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: humdinger | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Kits/Interface Kit | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: All | Blocking: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by bonefish): The BeOS behavior for dragging text over a text view is: The selection (if any) disappears and a cursor appears at the potential drop position. When dropping, the text is inserted there. In Expander this works just the same. If an entry_ref is dragged over either of Expander's text views there is no visual feedback and when dropping the text is replaced with the entry's path. I think the drop behavior is just what one would expect (save for the missing visual feedback on drag-over) and I don't think it has anything to do with BTextView. As for the default behavior for text drops on BTextView, I think I would prefer keeping the selection and replacing it on drop. If nothing is selected inserting seems fine. A modifier could be used to change the drop behavior. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5671#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
