Tracks and track folders processing could be easier...

Why in the world can't you move a track from one folder to another without removing it from a folder first?? Why can't you move tracks from folder to folder in one click??

This is going to sound complicated because its much easier to do then explain. Where you place your mouse has an impact on what you can do. If you hover your mouse over the icon and number area you can drag a track anywhere. Including to a different folder. Placing your mouse elsewhere will offer different abilities. This can be checked by the right click menu. Its different depending on where on the track header you place your mouse.
 
Keep in mind that X2 has a lot of "hot spots" which may lead one to think for example the entire header has the same abilities where ever you place your mouse.  This is not true. 
 
If you think about it a little this is how the Smart tool works. In a way the mouse cursor is a bit like the Smart tool.  

As John explained, you can move tracks from one folder to another by dragging. My complaint is: why isn't there an option to make new tracks appear under the currently-selected folder rather than always being appended to the bottom? And if they must go to the bottom, why doesn't the track view automatically scroll down to make them visible? And while we're complaining, why is there still no folder-freeze button?
 
I don't normally **** about missing functionality that isn't a showstopper, but these types of things are a) easy to implement and b) would have been implemented in the old days.

While we're at it, isn't it about time we had nested folders?

You can easily group a bunch of tracks, right click any one of them and choose "Move To Folder"
 
Is that what you mean?

Correct! And I agree it's a major PITA.
 
It's far too inflexible having to do that.

What might that be used for ? I can only think of maybe one thing - Something like - Strings [top folder] / cellos [folder] /stac/marc/leg short . . . . Violins [folder] 11 violins marc/11violins stac/ yada yada. But I don't see not having this as a  big whoop and I have a ton of orchestral tracks going usually.
 
I would much rather be able to print out track data like: assignments, instrument patches, plugs, audio clip data, everything concerning the track so that we can keep detailed notes as engineers and producers are supposed to do. Guess it must be really hard for a roomful of programmers to make a computer do that.

Amen to that, Danny. It's beyond me why no DAW vendor has thought of adding reporting tools.

The problem is that programmers are no longer driving the bus at Cakewalk.

Exactly. Lately I've been using nested folders in another daw & they're invaluable doing orchestration. 

Sub sections in sections. IE violins 1, 2 , violas 1, 2 cellos, dubbl bass can each have their own folder that can all reside in one 'Strings' folder.
(& any section can each have their own sub section as well.)
All can be nested into one 'Orchestra' folder then minimized or opened one at a time or in multiples.

When you do the same with brass, winds, perc or any other tracks in your project it greatly helps with workflow, at least mine anyway.
