I have two questions on the drag-n-drop in an outline.

1. Dropping a node as a child of another node seems to be possible only if there's already a child. Can this be changed, so that a node can be dropped as the first child of anode?

2. I would also like to copy nodes with drag-n-drop. Is there a way to implement this?

In addition to dropping between nodes in a list, you can also drop onto a node. That will add the dropped to the end of the node's child list. Also works if the node has no children yet.

There is no facility to customize drag-n-drop behavior in the master details outline. I can see enhancing drag-n-drop with modifiers. Maybe holding down the shift key turns a move into a copy. Please open an enhancement request.

1. No, whatever I try, I cannot drop onto a node. There is always the black line above or below the node, and on drop, the node is inserted above or below the destination node, on the same level (Sapphire 0.6.6).

2. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419913

It sounds like you have trouble with the case where a node with a child node factory is itself a direct product of a child node factory. So a list within a list without intermediary static nodes. I will try to setup a repro for this scenario. I don't believe any of the existing samples do this.

Yes, all nodes are a direct product of a child node factory.

Both of the issues have been resolved. Please verify and confirm in bugzilla.

Tried both. Works perfect. Many thanks, also for your fast response.

Now, may I kindly ask for a backport to 0.6.x? The reason is, the Eclipse 3rd party product we are targeting with the Sapphire plugin is still Helios/3.6, and there seem to be no real plans to move forward. According to your announcement, 0.7.x requires at least Indigo/3.7. If so, having the two changes also in 0.6.x would be more than helpful.

You are welcome. Could you add a node regarding verification on 0.6.x line to the two bugs, so that I can close them again?
