Description Petr Dvorak 2008-03-25 12:17:03 UTC

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803250006)
Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)

Component palette usually supports pick&plop function (for example, if yoou want to add JButton to a JFame form, you
click JButton in the palette, then you click the form, and the object is inserted to the form).

However, SVG palette (you can create an SVG image here: File > New File > Other > SVG File) seems not to support
pick&plop (you can use only drag&drop). This is a bit confusing - I got used to pick&plop and I was wondering why I
cannot add shapes to the unlocked SVG canvas...

I think the component palette should always have the same behavior and therefore, it should always support both
drag&drop and pick&plop...
