I'd like to use MainType to reorganize my font collection into folders and subfolders. When I'm in "browse" view, I intuitively try to drag a font onto a folder to move it there, as I would in Windows Explorer, but the program won't let me; the arrow turns into the circle with a slash through it "you can't do this" symbol.
I can drag and drop from the font list to a Group folder, no problem. I can even drag and drop a font to a folder in a separate Windows Explorer window, but yet I can't do it within MainType at all. Likewise, cut, copy, and paste don't work at all.
Am I missing something?
I've checked out the manual, which says:
...which sounds like what I want, but no luck. By the way, I'm using the demo version to evaluate MainType. Has drag and drop been disabled?Move or Copy Fonts to Folder
Select one or more fonts and then use one of the Move or Copy to Folder options:
Edit menu: Move to Folder, Copy to Folder
Context menu (right-click in fonts pane): Copy, Cut
Standard toolbar buttons: Move to Folder, Copy to Folder
Move or Copy Fonts with Drag and Drop
Select one or more fonts and drag them onto another group or browse folder. During the
drag and drop operation hold down the CTRL key to copy the selected fonts or hold down
the SHIFT key to move the font selection. You can even drag and drop between MainType
and other applications that fully support drag and drop (like Windows explorer).
Thanks.
