Random tip: Drag and Drop in explorer

Post by rray » 14 Feb 2013, 00:48

Discovered this, doesn't seem so obvious so...

While dragging an item around in the explorer, holding the LMB, it's of course not possible to left click the tree "+" icons to open them.

A developer has been really thoughtful and enabled us to that nevertheless, by clicking the "+" icons with the RMB while dragging!

Not working like that here. Though if you hover over the + symbol it unfolds the tree automatically.

I think that by the time you click the right mouse button, you've already hovered over the + icon long enough to expand it.

:)) doh yes .. tried several times to verify - obviously took me always the same time to right click the "+"

Leaving this here anyway in case someone didn't notice the delay thingie
