Creates kind of fail-safe for accidental move of file

cheraa05 — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:47:45 GMT

Dear Team

We have been moving files from one folder to another in the vault. but sometimes while dragging there is a chance of dropping the file into some random folder, currently, we can able to find it only by searching it from the search bar.

I recommend prompting a yes or No dialogue before dropping will be useful to be aware of where we drop.

I recommend creating a log file/History so that we can find the path from where it has been moved and dropped.

Hi @cheraa05 ! Did you tried using the prompts settings from Tools/Options/Promts... ?

I thought of the same answer as @vali_dobrea but that doesn't always prompt.

I will have to check why with my team.

I messed around with this a little more and here is what I found.

If you move a file that is not used by another file, it will move without a prompt.

If you move a part (ipt) that is used in an assembly (iam) you will get a prompt.

@cheraa05 does this sound like what you are experiencing?

Yeah, that's fine.

Actually, that prompt control will not solve it for you.

We do need to add another control for this one.

Please vote on the following idea as I have to reopen it.
