Thanks Kaus for pointing it out, and particularly Scott who wrote the thing in the first place. When I think back on all I went through with Navigator trying to make the built-in drag-drop messages work (badly) it's frustrating that this works so well without using the drag-drop messages at all :-/
That said, this only does one line at a time, so I needed to dig in. I spent some time yesterday and now: 1. The code is all in a behavior button. Set a list field's behavior to the button, you're done. 2. The behavior sends an optional dragLines message to the field with what lines were dragged where, making it easy to add functionality in the field when the user does something. 3. It handles multiple lines, and discontiguous lines. Discontiguous lines are shown being dragged together, i.e. the screen shot does not include the lines between them that aren't being dragged. If there are more lines being dragged than will fit in an image of the field, the extras are replaced with an elipsis "..." 4. I removed the removal code. It would be simple to add it back. 5. There is about 40% less code, which (I think) will scale to extremely large lists and selections better. I tried it with 10,000 lines and selections of 1,000s and it worked fine on my machine. I have not tested it extensively. It could be horribly broken in some way I didn't notice. I put a huge disclaimer on it saying that it isn't the original and put a copy here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By_mW8YYOZpAWHpJQ1R4dlhZYTQ Scott, feel free to grab it and do whatever with it, ignore it, or ask me to take it down. Anyone who uses it and finds bugs, please let me know here. gc On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Scott Rossi <sc...@tactilemedia.com>wrote: > You can load the stack directly in LC: > go URL "http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/getinline.rev"; > > > But this manages single lines only -- you'd have make to make adjustments > to handle multiple lines, which will be challenging with a discontiguous > selection. > > Regards, > > Scott Rossi > Creative Director > Tactile Media, UX/UI Design > > > > > On 7/18/13 9:39 AM, "Klaus major-k" <kl...@major-k.de> wrote: > > >Hi Geoff, > > > >Am 18.07.2013 um 18:23 schrieb Geoff Canyon <gcan...@gmail.com>: > > > >> I did some quick research, and this looks to be as much of a pain as I > >> remember -- or am I missing something?
