Dropping a folder onto an existing user defined button

Help & Support
1

I was just having a play with a few things in Opus and inadvertantly dragged and dropped a folder on to a user-defined button I have set up for going straight to my VS2008 programming projects. (Go "d:\Documents\Visual studio 2008\projects").

As a result of the above action the folder I dragged disappeared from its usual location and had me sweating for a while as I couldn't locate it :blush:

I eventually found the 'lost' folder inside the ...Visual studio 2008\projects\ folder.

My question is, is this behaviour by design or a bug?

What I have noticed is I can't drag a folder to the toolbar to create a shortcut button (get the 'not possible' mouse icon), but I can drag a folder to any button on the toolbar.

It's by design, to allow you to drop things on folders on the toolbar (e.g. in the Favorites menu) to copy/move them there.

Also, you can drop folders on the toolbar to create buttons for them; you just have to be in Customize mode first (as you do for all types of toolbar editing).

If you accidentally drop files somewhere remember that you can use the Undo command to undo the move, or the Log (Tools -> Output Window) to see what happened.
