To make it more obvious, I'm thinking we could add one or both of the following: * Grab handles on each list item. I don't think this is common in the Gtk world, but you see this on the web these days, including in the Gmail UI. * Change the cursor. We could use a secondary mouse cursor to indicate that the widget can be dragged around. I'm not sure what cursor would be appropriate. We can select from this list: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Cursors.html Related issues: related to geary - 6595: Accounts not reorderable in sidebar (Open) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-09-04 16:35:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago * **Category** set to _accounts_ * **Priority** changed from _Normal_ to _High_ * **Target version** set to _0.4.0_ I think this is a good idea, especially since some people will be looking at the sidebar for this operation (#6595). #### #2 Updated by Charles L 8 months ago How about adding move up & move down buttons below the list - this would give some visual indication while providing another mechanism for people who aren't big users of drag & drop (seems surprisingly common). #### #3 Updated by Jim Nelson 3 months ago * **Category** changed from _accounts_ to _ux_ #### #4 Updated by Jim Nelson 3 months ago For 0.4, let's use either of the suggestions Eric has made assuming they're somewhat straightforward to code. #### #5 Updated by Jim Nelson 3 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 23:11 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6601 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6601 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

This is documented in the user manual, but it's hard to guess from current UI. It's not obvious that reordering the account list would reorder also the list on the sidebar. One might think that he should remove and re-add an account in order to change this list, while the drag&drop option is already available. Possible solutions: 1. add a tooltip to explain what d&d can do 2. add move up/move down buttons (this is for example what Firefox uses for languages) I think option 2 is much more effective.
