Does anyone else appreciate the ability to re-parent nodes as a great
asset for Radiant as a site planning tool (http://
www.sparrowstyle.com/blog/comments/radiant_as_a_site_planning_tool --
not my article, but I agree).
I had used the patch initially and got so annoyed with the cumbersome
icons and the unsatisfying "up 1", "down 1" metaphor. It's a set
along the way and I'm sure many have put-up with it as-is to do thing
with their sites otherwise not possible, but what's next? What's the
best way to do this and get it in a release?
My vote is for:
A subtle drag handle/icon next to every node. A confirmation on the
move if it's a reparenting otherwise on a reorder it just does it,
maybe with a little highlight effect feedback...
Skip "auto expand" as you drag around to re-parent unless it's easy
and isn't jumpy (auto expanding can be annoying).
* It sounds to me like the ability to turn-off these options,
especially re-parenting, would be desirable. But I don't know how to
approach that without talking about roles and permissions. If the
target for the CMS remains to be a small team of trusted individuals
then I think implementing the reparenting scheme such that it's not
easy/impossible to do by mistake is good enough security.

I personally think re-parenting is bad (breaks URL's.. if you are
careful with your site you shouldn't really need to do it.. in a
perfect world).
