Hi peter

do not check NewList we will remove it for sure!

*NOW:*

In general, the drag and drop behavior, the API, and the overall behavior is broken to a various degree and inconsistent between ListModel, it's children and related classes (TreeModel, NewListModel). Last week I was working on a File Dialog replacement https://github.com/peteruhnak/file-dialog and the brokenness and inconsistencies were really frustrating.
I imagine


I don't see a point in trying to write a book about this particular section because it's really bad right now.

Of course not having a dedicated maintainer of Spec makes life a lot harder, as people that work with/on Spec generally invest into Spec at their own time discretion (me included), so while bugs can generally be fixed, there's really no systematic effort in cleanup and API harmonization.
I know
And you see I did not know how to find a path.
This is still on my todo to start renaming Model ->Presenter.
But I'm working on a project proposal that I should finish :)

With Stef we started to clean up and rethink it a bit when I was in Lille because there's a lot of things we don't like or should fix, but that's a long-term plan. We need a more immediate solution for the current mess. -_-

*TL;DR:*
1. imho no point in documenting this stuff _right now_
2. it's seriously broken
3. we need to clean it up and harmonize first

    Hello
    I would try to integrate the exemple Drag n Drop from
    http://spec.st/docs/drag_n_drop/ at the tutorial Building UI with
    Spec,
    so I have create a class in Pharo to try them and modify the code.

    I have found some of problems, I'm not sure if it come from strange
    configuration (i think about dragTransformationBlock: ), but it appear
    on the both version (my class and the original code).

    Marion,

    1)
    Reproduce:
    Deplace the 'c' in the list of int, try to replace the 'c' in the list
    of char
    Error "nil not found in Orderred Collection"
    - Proceed don't remove the c from the list and make arrives a nil,
    like
    in the result deplaceReplaceC.png
    - Abandon seems work well, but the next refreshing of the list (by
    another move) make the nil appear too


    2)
    Reproduce:
    Deplace the 3 in the list of char, try to replace the 3 in the list of
    int (at its place)
    Error " '3' not found in Orderred Collection"
    - Proceed duplicate the 3 gives the result DuplicateNumber.png
    - Abandon affect all number after the place, they "become" the
    previous
    number (BadNumber.png). Try to move the 4 make an error because it
    don't
    found 3, try to move the 5 make move the 4.


    3)
    Reproduce:
    Deplace all items the list of int in the other
    Try to move the 'a' in the empty list of int
    Error "SubscriptOutOfBounds: 0"
    - Proceed remove the a from the list, but don't make it appear
    - Abandon seems work well
