- Added drag and drop
Pushing this release out in a bit of a hurry, and I will be gone camping this long weekend… but row handle based drag and drop is working pretty well now. Give it a try, let me know what goes wrong

Notes:
- You drag from row handle to start drag and drop
- If you drop on another row’s handle it will add drop as child
- Hold control to create link, though links don’t open yet
- Hold option to create copy (instead of move) when dragging within same outline
- Or if you drag a branch into itself, it will also create a copy (not sure about this, maybe should just disable drop)

Sorry to say I’m getting quite a few bugs with this, but they’re hard to replicate reliably.
Stuff I’ve experienced from ~2 minutes of playing around with drag + drop:
- I find clicking on expand/collapse handles sometimes doesn’t work. Replicating this one is pretty reliable.
- Empty rows added underneath drag targets. This is especially acute if you’re dragging a row containing multiple children. This one I haven’t experienced again yet.
- Some weird duplication glitch that I can’t even comprehend correctly. Basically I wanted to collapse a row I’d dragged a row with children inside, and the outline just exploded with duplicates. Was able to duplicate but I still don’t understand the circumstances.
- Dragging a row with children into one of its own children will result in duplication of ex-parent row (along with children) inside target row. I’d kind of expect the ex-child to become parent of the whole thing, not contain its copy, but I’m not sure what the correct behaviour here should be. OO doesn’t allow you to drag a parent into its child row.
EDIT: 1st bug on the list doesn’t require any action.

Do you mean it isn’t a bug, or it doesn’t require any action before the bug will happen? I did have this bug while DND was in development, but thought I had fixed. Also I have mistakenly thought handle wasn’t responding when I was clicking on a focused row… that always displays expanded. (Probably need a UI fix for that, but I’m ignoring for now)
Anyway, I can’t seem to reproduce click on handle does nothing when it should bug.
I haven’t seen this, but let me know if it comes back
I wonder if these are related… I notice if you drag a row just a little and let go then it will drop into itself and it’s not all that apparent what happened.
I think the idea if automatically allowing you to drop copies onto self is probably a bad one and I’m going to remove that behavior.
Beyond just indenting something, it doesn’t look like there’s a necessary sequence of steps to reproduce. I find that micro movements with the mouse affect reliability of collapse handle responses.
Maybe that was it. Anyway, can’t really reproduce this reliably and I mostly use the keyboard to rearrange the outline, but I’ll keep an eye out.

I “think” all the bugs in these thread are fixed in Bike 2.0 (Preview 245), let me if not, or you find more!
