Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.17 Pro] Minor - Issues with package tree when dragging and dropping

I wanted to move some modules from my main "Lusternia" package out to a package of their own, to make them into a distributable form. I had about a dozen modules in my main package. I created a new package and gave it a name (not the same as any of my modules), then I dragged and dropped two modules onto the new package tab. It took a little while to transfer all the settings, but I didn't mind the wait because there were lots of things to be moved. When I looked at the new package, I saw its main module was the parent node of the two I had just dropped in the package. I found this odd because all modules had been only root nodes before, but I figured maybe I just never tried to make one module inside another and it's a feature. However, when I loaded the package on my next time running CMUD, I saw that the three modules were all root nodes.

Also, I was expecting that I could right-click the module and use the "Move to" or "Copy to" options to get them into the new package without using drag-and-drop, but the options were disabled. Is this not how they're intended to be used then?

Modules and windows are always root nodes. Being able to make them not so is definitely a bug - a few versions back there were a couple of bugs that could do this, so Zugg added some code that fixes packages with this problem, moving non-root windows and modules back into the root. It's probably that that fixed your package.

Probably, but this is still being caused in the first place, so it's a bug to be reported. I didn't use any old packages with 2.17, either. Completely clean install with fresh packages built from text scripts.

I do still have a bug in my bug list about moving multiple modules to another package, so this might be the same issue. Till this is fixed, tell people to only drag/drop one module at a time.
