I'm trying to find an easy to use and easy to figure out way to move or copy items around in a web application. For example, in a document sharing application where there are different folder hierarchies, what would be the best way of moving a document from one folder into another.
I've seen some applications which use a "Cut and Paste" method where you select the item or items you wish to move via a checkbox, click on a Cut button and then browse to the destination folder and click on "Paste" button. I have previously designed multi page wizards where the user would select one or more items and click on a Move button and be taken to a second screen where they could specify the destination folder and finish the move. My question is, has anyone used an application which has a good solution for moving and copying things? Does anyone have strong opinions about the two different approaches I described above? I am trying to figure out if there's a good way to tackle this without going into the whole drag and drop AJAX interfaces (nothing wrong with that except that engineers will probably say "not enough time") :) Thanks in advance for any feedback.
