Originally assigned to: @Rokt33r on GitHub.

Current behavior

If you make a nested folder, there is no drag area to put that folder into the top level workspace.

Expected behavior

Able to drag nested folder into the top level workspace so it is no longer nested.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a folder
  2. Create another folder nested inside the first folder
  3. In the sidebar try to drag the nested folder outside into the workspace. You can't.

Environment

Desktop/Web

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.18.0
  • OS version and name: OSX 10.14.6

Hi, bowenli,

Just letting you know that there is already work done on this, hopefully next release will include ordering of the sidebar items, which will allow moving a folder to workspace root as well.

Thank you for your patience!

Just to note that I was talking about local spaces, the latest release of the local space desktop application should be able to do anything on top-level as well.

Cloud space probably doesn't have this but it is being worked on.

Although we really want to resolve this issue, we should need quite more time to fix it. Although we are showing the top-level folders as normal folders, we are still handling them differently in the backend. So please wait a bit more until we fix the backend data structure.
