Drag a track to the bottom of a folder. Where does it end up?



Instead of dragging it to the bottom of the folder drag it UP to the folder area. The track will drop itself at the bottom of the folder.*
 ...
*Edit: BTW that workflow makes the most sense, even though it can be annoying when one is not aware of it, because when you drag a track to the bottom how is Sonar to interpret it? Do you want to drag it to the bottom of the folder (inside) or just underneath the folder?
 
These are the types of things designers/programmers gotta worry about. Annoying job.



All that's needed is to make the upper and lower areas of each track into drop zones. When the mouse is in drag mode and hovering over these zones, that green line that appears can be drawn in such a way as to indicate whether the track will land under the last track, between the folders (straight line, just as now), or above the track in the next folder. I have done just this in several projects, and I am just a normal everyday programmer. It's not rocket science.
 
The problem was discussed in the old forum in great detail some years back. The above suggestion was from my own experience. Different ideas came from different folks, most suggestions were well usable.

Are you referring to the clips or the tracks (complete with names, settings, FX, etc, etc...)?
