MDT 2010 New Feature #6: Drag and drop

In a previous posting, I talked about arranging items into folders.  To help with that arrangement process, Deployment Workbench now supports drag-and-drop, making it pretty easy to copy (link) items into additional folders.  If you hold down the shift key before dropping, the copy will change to a move.

Behind the scenes, these drag-and-drop operations become “Copy” and “Paste” or “Cut” and “Paste” operations, so if you prefer to do it using those actions they work fine too.

Drag-and-drop will also work with folders too, if you decide you want to rearrange your folder structure.

You can also use drag-and-drop (and Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste) to copy or move items between deployment shares.
