Karl Richter updated NETBEANS-1089:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Creating nested directories in `src/main/resources` of a Maven project, e.g.
`archetype-resources/src/test/java` like it's common during the development of
an archetype project, allows to create new files and folders with arbitrary
parents by changing the "Parent Folder" in the creation dialog. However, it's
not possible to paste files from another project in another directories than
the buttommost folders (those with no child folders), which is a frequent use
case during archetype project development.
Thinking this through, I'd make the displaying of the hierarchy of empty
folders in subtrees in one tree node with subfolder names concatenated with `.`
optional and display everything (including empty folders) as a tree by default
so that we can assume that users who once changed the view to collapse a
subtree of empty folders into one node remember this or find the to be added
switch in the tree node context menu to change back to the hierarchy allowing
them to paste where they want with one click.
The latter proposal should probably be separated, but I don't see the point
given my 50 improvement suggestions on Bugzilla and some here without any
feedback :(
I'm aware that I can work around this problem by adding an arbitrary new file
in the folder where I want to paste, paste the file I want and delete the first
file.
