I'm also having this same problem in on the 2023.2.2 Windows build.

It's possible to move but it's very hard and time consuming. My work around it's to create empty requests/folders and then drag the item between them. You save a lot of time...

My Insomnia on Windows updated itself to 2023.5.3 and it reordered all folders and requests and I can't move them around anymore. The current order of them is completely useless.

Also all XPath-references are now broken. I don't know, maybe that's related somehow.

To me this bug is a blocker.

Same problem as @vermgit on 2023.5.3. It's beyond frustrating.

update 1 -- ~~I also can't import anything. It sees everything in the file just fine but importing does absolutely BUPKIS.~~

update 2 -- Import works! So this turned out to just be a viewing problem. After you import on this version, nothing is visible and you can't seem to find anything but lo and behold, if you just click on that house/home icon, a fresh sidebar shows up, populated with all the imported items...multiplied by however many times you imported it while testing *snicker snicker*. I think it would save us all a huge headache if the client would jump to that home screen right after import so we can immediately see that the content was actually imported. It really is kind of sneaky how it appears empty right after a successful import.

However, I still cannot move any requests to other folders, I can only move them out of a folder to the root. This makes it really tough to organize requests and it seems like such a basic function that should have been fixed many versions ago.

There was an update to 2023.5.4, which doesn't change anything. Same blocking behaviour.

There was an update to 2023.5.5, which doesn't change anything. Same blocking behaviour.

Same issue, dragging requests into folders just doesn't work and it's beyond frustrating. If there at least was some other way how to set a folder for request...

I have 2023.5.5 and am having the same issue.

I believe another poster already mentioned it but you can drag a request inbetween other requests and it will stay. You have to collapse/expand the folder to show the changes.

Not on my end. Requests remain where they are.

It's kind of tricky because it has to be dropped perfectly in-between 2 other requests. None of this even matters IMO because there's no way I'm going to use Insomnia in the long-term if they don't straighten out these monkeyshines.

There are 530 open issues right now. Something tells me this problem won't be high up on the list.

2023.5.6 fixes this 😃 Thanks!

vermgit avatar Aug 23 '23 07:08 vermgit

fixed in #6323

The issue was fixed in the upgrade to 5.6 but it also removed all the color coding for requests. Now they're just b&w text boxes.
