Dragging items Long Distances

We'll consider that.

excellent =)

So you mean dropping onto a search result would link the dragged items to the item being dropped on? That is not a bad idea (it would be a different behavior than drag/drop into that pane when showing child items [which links to the parent], but could be useful). For now, you could copy, search, double-click the search result, and then paste.

As in you can right click and drag to a search item result. It would then tell you if you want to move, copy, link etc so that it becomes linked as a child of that item.

I suppose you could have it so that linking as a sibling of that item is an option (eg if you held down shift as well).

Your final suggestion above, however, works well for now. Thank you.
