Can't move a file to another folder???

Open php4fan opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

In Remix, in the File Explorer, I accidentally created a file in the wrong folder, so I wanted to move it.

I tried dragging and dropping and that doesn't work (when you click and try to drag, it doesn't drag it).

I right-clicked and there's no "move" option in the context menu.

The only way I could find was to copy it, which is ridiculous, because you need to:

  • right-click, Copy
  • right-click Paste into a different folder. This creates a copy with a different name than the original (with "Copy of" prepended or "copy" appended, I forget)
  • right-click Rename it to restore the original name
  • right-click delete the original file.

Four actions to do what one would normally do with a single drag-n-drop operation on a normal file explorer.

yes. pls add the ability to move files. basic file reorganisation and housekeeping is too painful without it
