There is no confirmation window while drag-dropping project files in the "Explore" panel.

Without confirmation window on drag-dropping files in the Explore panel there is a chance to accidentally move project files to another directory.

@bpasero IMO not asking for confirmation is what I expect. Normal OS explorers behave the same. However they allow me to undo such changes. So I would expect undo in VSCode as well.

I'm not sure is its correct comparison, but for example in Jetbrains Webstorm when I drag-drop files there I see a confirmation window, which protects from accidentally moving some files from one directory to another. Otherwise, you can somehow drag files with your mouse and not even notice that.

I have had this problem many times and even had a plugin in Visual Studio .NET that did this for me: Here's a user-voice post for this same feature: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/293070-visual-studio-code/suggestions/11312763-ask-before-moving-files-in-solution-explorer-tree

Hi @dbaeumer, I think could be (and perhaps should be) different features:

• Showing a confirmation window (with do not ask me anymore option maybe)
• Undo changes in the Explore panel

Recently I had to look at "git status" and figure out which file I moved accidentally, and it's really a pain.

+1, I just did this and had a Visual Studio PTSD response.

Fyi for July (or insiders) #4842 is pushed and allows to disable DND in the explorer.

PR welcome.

Hi! I'd like to work on this. This is something that's annoyed me for a while now.

Its very annoying when a folder goes (i dont even know where and what) by accident. Especially when using touchpad.

The worst thing is when working on others directory and dont know the actual structure.

there should be either a confirmation dialog or an undo functionality

Is there anything like cmd+Z for this?

[jfconde]

+1. It's specially painful to move node_modules, or accidentally moving your mouse and not even having an idea of what has been moved to where.

I added a new setting "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": true which is enabled by default and shows a confirm dialog that provides a checkbox to quickly change this setting to no longer show a confirmation:
