Drag items from inactive window [DONE]

Post by sasha » Wed Aug 10, 2016 8:44 am

I would like to see this feature in NC: dragging items from NC while it is inactive. This is convenient and works in other file-based programs like Finder, Transmit, Forklift etc.

NC's current behavior is that you have to first click inside NC's window (or CMD+TAB) to activate it and click again to start dragging the items.

Thanks,
Sasha

Hi sasha,

This definitely looks like a bug, or as an unexpected behavior at least.
Will look into it.

Mike.

Well, it was tricky, but doable.
Now NC behaves more or less like Finder or others, in terms of dragging from inactive window/panel.
As a side-effect - context menu was updated too, now it is no longer bound to focused item.
Please take a look at these changes in the next preview build.
