Thank you Didier - great tip!

I've also just noticed that the exact way that you "drop files" is very important. Keep an eye on the shape of the destination graphic.


When dragging from calculator to content area - if the destination graphic drop zone is a rectangular box (see picture above with 'X') then your efforts will be repelled and fail. If the destination graphic drop zone is a single thin line (imagine that you are dropping "in-between" files) then the copy will succeed - so much so that if there is an existing file of the same name, a dialog will pop up asking if you want to overwrite.

However, when dragging from content area (1) to the calculator (2 or 3), it doesn't seem to matter if you drop over the top of a file vs drop "in between" files. Both work. And no overwrite prompt will ever be given.

This difference in drag drop behaviour is a little inconsistent and extremely subtle, in my opinion. And it can lead users into thinking they have copied a file successfully when in fact the copy has failed, esp. when copying from calculator to the content area.
