I know it in theory, but in practice I have endless trouble with dragging and dropping in the grid. About 20% of the time I can pick up a single item and drag it to a new place. The rest of the time, when I select an item and start dragging, it selects adjacent items instead of moving the one selected. If I pause and change direction, it'll stop selecting items and start moving them - but only once I have at least 2 items selected.
This drives me batty, so I normally go the long way round and use keyboard shortcuts: first copy the item, then paste it below the desired parent, then use 'tab' to make it a child item. (You can only paste an item on the same level as another one - which means you can only add it as a child item if the parent already has other children.)
All of which made me decide to try using tags instead of multiple parents! But if you have any tips to get drag and drop to work as described in the manual, I'd be ever so grateful. This is the one thing that makes me really miss UltraRecall.
