Description Jiri Skrivanek 2004-10-18 13:39:06 UTC
In Projects view Paste action is always disabled
on a package but copy action is enabled. On the
other hand the paste action gets enabled when you
copy a folder from Files view. It is a little bit
inconsistens. Steps to follow:

1)
- open a java project in Projects view
- on a package click Copy item in context menu
- open context menu on any package but paste is
always disabled
2)
- in Files view click Copy item on a folder
- go to the projects view and open context menu on
a package => Paste item is enabled

Build 20041018-0707, JDK1.5.0, WindowsXP.

Up to Jano to specify.
Comment 2 jrojcek 2004-10-21 13:31:50 UTC
Also in the second case the Paste action should be disabled.

As we present the packages as a list, it shouldn't be possible to paste folder into a 
package.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2004-10-21 17:11:36 UTC
Jano please make sure the UI spec says this explicitly.
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2004-10-25 13:48:04 UTC
There is no way how to distinguish the DataObject from the DataFloder
in the Transferable, except of calling getTransferData () which is not
cheap operation, calling getTransferable () in the createPasteTypes ()
is not good idea, since it is called when the pop up menu is created.
The folder in the physical view is treated as any other physical
resource (not as a package).
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2004-10-25 13:59:01 UTC
OK.
