Windows Explorer has drag & drop for files & folder. You can drag & drop some files or some folders in another folder by just dragging onto the folder you want to move the files to & drop it. But what if you want to drag it in a folder, inside a folder? Sure you can use the sidebar tree view but what else….?

I present JumpTab, the next version of Drag & drop in folders, for Windows Vista.

This is the usual method of dragging & dropping files in windows. As you can see, I selected some files & dragged them over to another folder. If I leave the mouse it will drop the files in that folder, but I have two other folders inside the primary folder. I cannot navigate directly to them, unless I am using JumpTab.

Holder turned on

Just keeping your mouse over the folder for a second or half a second opens a glass panel in which you see all the folders which are inside the primary folders. You don’t see the files inside the primary folder nor does it opens the original folder. It just shows a new holder displaying the folders inside. This jump tab is called Holder. Now, you can drag files to any of the folder inside either images or video or you can just mouseover the folder “Image” & it will further expand that folder in the holder. To go back or forward just click on the arrows. You don’t need to leave the Holder neither it will dismantle your “drag pile”

Holder also holds the items you are trying to drag. Like in this case I selected some images & videos & I want to put videos into video folder & images into images folder. What do I do? I simply leave all the files below the word “Holder” & from there I can select which file to drag to any particular folder. Just click outside to remove the Holder from screen.

Right now I m trying to make a Mock Video in flash to better represent it, but then again, how is the concept…?
