    Drag and drop interface in folders

    Posted by Eirik Vågeskar on May 20, 2009 03:56 PM PDT in It's learning ideas portal | Under Review

    Moving files in folders in It's learning is a mess. It would be better if the interface tried to mimick the drag and drop features of most modern GUIs. For instance, if I want to move a file to another folder, I want to drag it onto that folder. If I want to move it up one level, there should also be a quick way to do that (e.g. a "." folder).

    Today, you have to specify files, then specify folders, then press enter. That takes about five times as much time as I would want to spend on it. This leads to more clutter, because people (teachers) are too lazy to clean them up.

    Look to Google Docs for inspiration.
