Change Details

If I had a magic wand I would change this: When I do Drag & Drop, it appears this popup: {F267760} Now, whatever is the destination of the above link (so I mean - with or without T15165) me and some of my friends find it extremely irritating that the work on the current screen is abandoned by default. Why people can click on that Popup: - people are curious - they see a thihg, they want to click on it → this is probably not a case to be recommended. Don't do this at home. Don't touch everything you see. Accept popups only from people you know- - people want to close the popup and accidentally open the link to the file and lose the current work → again, this is not a smart reason that should be protected by Phorge. - people want to change the permissions of the file, or set a nice title of that file, or leave a comment like "Wow, nice file" → Question: Is there a time when, the user wants to do ONLY that, abandoning the previous work? No. This is why it makes sense to put an external link. Note that most web designers hate external links for a reason, and I totally agree with them. This is an interesting discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/q/946248 Notes: - https://stackoverflow.com/a/946263 - I agree with Reed Copsey who says that external links are usually annoying in normal navigation (comment respected, since this is not a "normal navigation" at all, but an interactive editing mode) - https://stackoverflow.com/a/946282 - I also totally agree with user John MacIntyre who says «The current form may be in edit mode, and you want to be able to open another page without either disregarding or saving the current one.» - https://stackoverflow.com/a/946273/3451846 - I also agree with Gabriel Hurley: «It lets them leave your site without losing their place on your page or have to use the back button.» - the back sometime cannot do miracles and cannot recover your edited post In short, I agree to never use external links //in general//. So we use them //only// for cases similar to these ones, in order to: - do not annoy the user during normal navigation (it's not a normal navigation) - and do not lose a current complex status (it is, probably we have lot of edit fields full of creative texts)

Phorge should not try to protect you from this bad web assumption. - Case: people want to close the popup but //whooooopsy// with my mouse I've accidentally opened the link in the popup and not the popup itself, so I technically opened a link and that is why I've lost my work - that link should be an external link1!1! - → 🔴 this is also not a good use-case.

Anyway, if your finger is really fat you will probably have problems in many other applications. We are really sorry for this accessibility issue. But, a mitigation for this personal issue is to adopt a mouse, instead of a touch device. Try that. Mouses are awesome. - Case: people want to visit the File page to: change the Visibility permissions, set a nice title, leave a comment like "Wow, nice File" or whatever and then being able to turn back to their work - → 🟢 Yes. It makes sense to assume that the majority of the people just want to //be able// to visit the File page after a Drag & Drop, and then //be able// to turn back, as default, without any risk of losing their form.data. This is why it makes sense to put an external link in that popup. == About this specific External Link == In short, in this specific case is reasonable to have external link. This Task should not pave the way for using external links indiscriminately.
