[Proposals for improving spatial folder window interaction]
I am not sure if this also allows to drag an open folder to another place.
We definitly need a drag handle for spatial windows somewhere.
If you can try to implement it, that would be welcome by everybody I believe. However, I would not focus on dragging alone.
A couple of notes:
Some brainstorming:
a Use whole statusbar as drag handle (is this sane/intuitive?)
This is not discoverable.
b Use menu in statusbar on the left as drag handle
not discoverable.
c Middle-clicking background and moving starts drag
not disc.
d Use menubar as drag handle
not disc.
e Add special area to menubar on the right with a folder icon, use this as drag handle
I'm not sure a folder icon would convey the meaning of "drag"...
f Have a folder icon at the edge of (always displayed) scrollbars as drag handle (cp. gimp)
as above
IMHO, the only way to make it discoverable is to insert a button somewhere, named "drag this folder to...". Or at least an icon with a tooltip.
