RAPID - Improve Drag & Drop in File Explorer

Implement more of the standard drag & drop features in the File Explorer, such as dragging a file to move it or click-dragging a file to copy it.

Allow such operations on single or multiple files or folders.

Added to suggestions, thanks. I think there are technical reasons it's disabled to allow dragging file names inside the editor text but we'll look into the complexity of this for the next version.

As you are no doubt sick of hearing, I use Microsoft Expression Web. It allows all the file operations I have suggested for Rapid while at the same time allowing drag and drop into the editor Window.

My opinion is that Rapid should offer every capability from EW. I hold that opinion because the EW file explorer, which it calls the "Folder List," includes every feature present in the Windows File Explorer - a complete set of drag and drop operations, the ability to select and operate on any selection of files and folders, etc. Most of these operations cannot be done from within the Blumentals IDE and I consider it a deficiency.
