Hello,

I have two Requests.

1.
The first references to the problem, discussed in this post.
I have the same problem with the new Schema-Editor. Drag'n'Drop only with pressed Shift/Ctrl-Key would be nice.

2.
It would be nice to have a confirmation-dialog, when trying to delete a node in the Schema-Editor.
I have deleted one by mistake, but recognized it first, when I opened the Schema the next time; so I can't undo this operation

Thanks.

Do you mean a copy action instead of move by drag and drop when Shift/Ctrl key is pressed? What action should be done when Ctrl/Shift is pressed?

You can save a backup of the file using the option Make backup copy on save.

Drag with no key pressed => do nothing
Drag with Shift pressed => drop
Drag with Ctrl pressed => copy
Drag with Ctrl+Shift pressed => insert as a reference

Thanks. But it would be nice, to have a confirmation on deleting a node, though.
That does not cost much.

You can set a value of 20 or more pixels for the property awt.dnd.drag.threshold (-Dawt.dnd.drag.threshold=20) if you want to avoid doing a drag and drop when you do not intend that. The drop and copy actions are already implemented. A reference to a declaration is inserted already on drop when you drag a declaration component to other component. The drag and drop action looks at the drag source and drop target components and if the drop is allowed it moves a component or just inserts a reference at the drop location depending on context.

We will consider that in a future version.


Thank you,
