Completely Disable Drag and Drop

[Danny Glue]

The ability to completely disable drag and drop folders/files is a frequently asked feature among Cyberduck users I know.

Can this be a priority? Even a workaround would be much appreciated.

Why would you want to disable drag & drop?

[Danny Glue]

The idea is to prevent accidental drag and drop when your finger/mouse/trackpad suddenly stop working correctly. It is just too easy and seamless to make mistakes.

This has severe implications. There are many cases where dragging files/folders into an adjacent folder means bringing down websites by accident.

And because it is not obvious when an drag and drop action has been trigged, we won't even notice until server restarts, or when clients reported the problem.

This has annoyed many of us who are dedicated Cyberduck users.

It would be sufficient if there is a popup warning to confirm the drag and drop action, or a hidden plist preference that users can disable drag and drop.

Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification of your enhancement request. You can resolve this issue with a hidden configuration option described in ​Warning before renaming or moving files.

Thanks for that. This works like a charm:

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck browser.confirmMove true

However, Cyberduck refuses move/renaming a file even after confirming the action in the popup. I'm on 10.8.2.
