Dropping Text files into Tinderbox

Tinderbox Icon

Dragging onto an Outline, Map view

Dragging a file onto a major view window creates a new note whose $Name is the filename of the dropped file. The new file is added at the top of the outline; i.e. $OutlineOrder position '1', or first in sibling order if the view focus is a container. Chart view does not support a general drop, but see below.

Dragging onto a note icon in Outline or Chart view

Dragging a file onto a note icon in a view window creates a new note whose $Name is the filename of the dropped file. Use the normal note-positioning tellback to see see if a note is added as a sibling or child of the note under the drop. Note that Map view does not support this degree of placement.

In Outline view, dropping onto a note icon is just that - the icon at left and not its badge or title.

Dragging into a text window

Drop is not supported. Copy the note's contents and paste instead.
