Items are disappearing from my grid as I drag them between panes.  Search has confirmed that they are losing their field assignments during the drag process.

This has been going on for some time but I assumed the dragged items where being placed as subitems under the target parents.  It turns out that many were simply disappearing from the grid altogether and are now orphaned.

Hi Wayne,

Got it. Short version: Fixed in the next version

Long version:

In Ecco:

  1. Dragging an item within a notepad always did a Move (even when going from one folder to another)
  2. Dragging an item from one notepad to another always did a Add

I didn't find this logical and wasn't compatible with Kanban-type operations. Dragging from one location to another (unless Ctrl is pressed) should always do a move. After all, if you're moving an item, it should "move"

I didn't consider the special case when an item if moved from a grid to the same grid:

  • Fixed: Grid: When dragging an item from one instance of a grid to another instance of the same grid, the item would be removed from the grid

Thanks.  I was just about to post that it seems to only happen when dragging from a view pane to the same grid in a regular pane.

edit: Just realized I can make it work pending the permanent fix by turning off grid automatic updates.  The item stays in view even though it's no longer assigned to the grid.  It's going to be immediately moved under a parent anyway.
