3.12 Drag and Drop


You can move objects in Java Virtual Folders by dragging and dropping them from one location to another.

If the object you move is a collection, all descendants of the collection will also be moved.

MOVE

To move an object, simply drag it from its current position to the collection or hierarchy where you want it. If you try to move an object from a Hyperwave Information Server to a mounted file system (or vice versa), Java Virtual Folders will perform a copy action instead.

COPY

To copy an object, drag it and drop it in its new location while holding down the Ctrl button. Your mouse pointer will show with a small plus sign (+).

LINK

To link to an object, drag it and drop to the location where you want the link, while holding down your Alt button. Your mouse pointer will show with an arrow sign.

Note: You cannot move objects to a collection if you do not have write rights for that collection.
