Drag and drop files and folders [$250]

[oparoz]

As soon as the app supports uploading files, there will be the need to re-organise them.

Specifications

Files/folders should be draggable and folders/breadcrumbs should be drop targets. There is no support for multi-element select.

• Make files draggable
• Make folders draggable
• Draggable elements must be resized and made semi-transparent so that users can easily drop them on the targets
• Turn folders into drop zones
• Turn breadcrumb elements into drop zones so that users can move files to parent folders
• Add visual feedback to drop zones
• Only turn albums with write permissions into drop targets Requires Download more information about sub-albums and their content #557
• Move files and folders when dropped onto an album and refresh the view

FAQ

Q: I get a permission denied after dropping files on an album. Why make it a drop target then?
A: It's actually not possible today to determine which albums can be real drop targets as we don't have any information about sub-albums beside their name. See #557 for details.

@jospoortvliet @jancborchardt @karlitschek @LukasReschke I've posted some specs. Let me know if this meets your requirements

Looks good! cc @owncloud/designers for checking as well.

I think it's great!

There is now a solution with #519.

I wanted to visually indicate that some folders cannot be drop targets, but I don't think having a bix X across a folder is going to work, especially for the breadcrumb. The next solution would be a pop-up which would appear when the item hovers, but I'm worried that it might be unreadable.
Thoughts?
