Drag and drop in the sidebar folder list

[FichteFoll]

I'd be really nice to be able to drag and drop files in the sidebar to move them between directories instead of renaming them all the time.

It would be nice to have an API also.

I don't understand how an API would be involved with dragging and dropping files. Please elaborate.

For example, take a look to these events:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Drag_and_drop#events

if the drag source is a file of the sidebar, and the target is a view of another window, we can fix this issue: #17

This is a really important feature.

[comcaptain]

We really need this!

This is the only feature my favorite text editor lacks.

Don't see how this is a minor enhancement if I'm been honest.

Anyway +1 - 7 years on.

I’ve got by without it since about 2012 but I’d still welcome this functionality. For an app that deals with creating and editing files it feels like it should be possible to move those files easily within the sidebar.

Largest disappointment for me after I upgraded to Sublime 4 last week. We use Sublime for the whole company and the biggest complaint so far that I've heard is that you cannot drag & drop files in the sidebar. I also think for such a modern and feature-rich editor it looks strangely out-of-place nowadays that you still need to move files around by editing their path. Hope after the general Sublime 4 refurbishment, this issue will get more attention.
