Support drag and drop for files within the Gist view about gistpad HOT 9 CLOSED

@Mumcio FYI, I added a “Copy File to Gist” menu to files in the gists tree, which allows you to copy files between gists without needing to open them first. This command was already available on the file Explorer, so you can now move files between gists and from the local file system. Additionally, there’s a new “Duplicate Gist” command, which allows you to create an entirely new Gist from an existing one.

I’m planning to add multi-select support to the tree, which would allow you to run the “Copy File to Gist” command on multiple files at a time. Once that’s in, I’m wondering if that satisfies most of the use cases you had in mind? Drag and drop could then be a nice UX improvement down the road, once (if?) VS Code adds support for it.

Great suggestion! Unfortunately, I don’t believe that VS Code currently supports this sort of scenario, so we’d likely need some new APIs.

@egamma Can a node in a custom tree view be dragged and dropped on an editor? If not, have you heard of any other requests for this support?

In the meantime, you can right-click on an open editor and select “Paste Gist File”. It’s not a complete solution to your request, but it might be useful?

Sure it is a right way. I am curious how this can be achieved I will do the research.

@Mumcio Sounds good. Thanks!

Custom tree views currently do not support drag&drop. This is the feature request microsoft/vscode#32592.

Nice @lostintangent I like "Copy File to Gist" it speed up ordering gist well. I am using gistPad each day, I am so impressed about your support. I thought about multiselect, but you were much quicker ;)

from gistpad.

Copy File to Gist now supports multi-select, so I'm going to close this issue as resolved. It might be a while before we get drag/drop support, and so I think this might be the best solution for now. Let me know if you have any other feedback. Thanks!
