Re: Drag and drop

It's when you have a big project - My project has several targets which share the same 2000-odd source files so anything which involves the group tree is very bad news. The worst thing is when you get something which repeatedly recalculates the tree, such as adding a lot of files at once.

This might be getting kind of off-topic, but I just wanted to note that the cursor changes from an I-beam to an arrow when the elapsed fraction of a second has passed to give you a visual indication of when you're able to drag text. I find that indication makes it easy to drag text when I want, and not end up with accidental drags when I'm just trying to select. I suppose it's all a matter of personal preference and what you get use to though.

As for dragging in the project file list, for me there's no delay, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Ii suspect that perhaps what you are encountering is the difference
in the way that text-dragging works between Carbon and Cocoa. In a
Cocoa app (e.g. XCode), to drag a few words of text: you select
them, then release the mouse button, click on the selected text and
keep the mouse still for a fraction of a second, and then you drag.
It is the fraction of a second keeping the mouse still that you are
missing.


Is there any way to change this behaviour? I prefer the CodeWarrior
method - I get loads of failed drags in XCode because the delay seems
to be quite variable.

Also, when dragging in the project file list you may have to hold the
mouse button down for several seconds before dragging starts. This is
really frustrating when you're trying to drag groups of files into
build phases.
