I literally just drag-and-dropped that text on a phone.
- js8 7y agoGood for you! I personally find it difficult to do it without a mouse. And even with mouse it's error prone, you might accidentally move your mouse during clicking on something, and d&d something somewhere that you don't really want to (classic example is moving folder into another folder in the file open dialog).
- imhoguy 7y agoDnD is natural human gesture to move things around. Implementation is imperfect but Undo should help then. Desktop has all this sorted out for years.
- js8 7y agoUnfortunately, there is no Undo on the file open dialog. So, no, the desktop hasn't it sorted all out. But I don't really mind DnD as long as it's not obtrusive and there are other means to accomplish the task.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoDid you try pressing Ctrl-Z? This has worked in Windows Explorer (and by extension the native File Open dialog) for years.
