Dragging and dropping items from one folder to another in the Media Pool area continues to show the items being dragged even when the mouse cursor is over the names of the folders into which you are dropping the files. If you only have one file that you're moving, the file icons are very slightly transparent, so you can still sort of see where you need to drop to get the files where you want them.

However, if you have more than one file that you're moving, the file icons become completely opaque. This means that you kind of have to guess which folder you're over in order to move the files into the correct one.

This is VERY bad user experience, and I'm hoping it's a beta feature that will get changed back shortly! (It's kind of slick-looking until you try to use it!)

And hey, while I'm at it, please make it possible to copy text from the console via keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd-C rather than requiring a right-mouse menu selection. For those of us coding tools for Resolve, this is a big PiTA!

The folder you're dropping into highlights for easy selection. Are you not seeing that?

No, the entire folder name is covered by the icons, so I can't see anything at all.

OK.

That's...weird. Can you post a screen shot? Let us see what you see?

Note how the wrong folder appears to be highlighted. Even if the one I was trying to drop onto were highlighted, I wouldn't see it.

BTW, I have found that if I move my mouse cursor all the way over to the right of the folder tree in order to clear the icons away from the folder names, the highlighting will be visible. In this way I can work around the uncertainty about where I'm dropping, but it is a very unnatural and problematic way of working.

OK.

I'm able to place that group of thumbnails wherever I want. I can cover the bin names as you have, but I can also move them over so the bin names show. Highlighting the bin I want still works.
