Hey Neil, I do like your idea of a cumulative clipboard /viewer and it would be something to work torwards. To start off with however,the first iteration of copy functionality will as you said - ' replace anything you have in the clipboard'. Clicking paste will obviously alert the user to what they are copying etc and require a confirmation.
Cheers Paul >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/16/04 8:20 PM >>> Hey Paul, Like you said, its what people are used to etc, this option could work, its not as easy as Drag & Drop but I too can see the issue of dragging and dropping (mistakes etc...). It may benefit from a Clipboard viewer/history as well where you can purge or look at what you have or had in there. Would the logic simply be : copy will peplace anything you have in the clipboard or shall it be culmulitive based on a setting on how many copies you can save?

The gui for this will be a paradigm everyone is used too. Right click on a tree object and choose "copy", then right click on destination object and choose "paste". Figured that really is the easiest way - agreed?. Paste only appears : *when something has been 'copied' *when you have have clicked on a node that the copied object type is allowed to site under. eg paste wont appear in your context menu if you've copied a nav node and are trying to paste on an image etc. Paul >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/16/04 7:54 PM >>> Defo!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Harrison Sent: 16 January 2004 11:41 To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: Drag and Drop Hey guys, i've done alot of the groundwork on this already, just haven't got around to piecing it together. Realistically i cant see it getting done prior to the 2.1 release this coming week, but i will certainly aim for the first minor update post release :) Ian/Neil - I will send you a copy for testing when its ready if you want. Paul >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/16/04 7:14 PM >>> Can I add a 'yes please' (when someone has time!) to this one. Many of our pages are modified copies of previous ones (e.g. course lists updated for date changes). Of course, for the moment we can just cut'n'paste html into a newly created page's body, but it would be nice to either have an option to copy a nav node/page as a draft from the tree or have a 'use this page as a template' type action.
