Can't move files in workspace

I can't move around files in workspace. It's not possible in other workspaces/projects either.

Can you give more detail as to what you mean? You can not click on a Js file, or a CSS file?

Same here. I was just about to post a question also but saw this... and no answer still.

Jacob Mishkin - If you click and drag a file in the workspace to put it in a folder, nothing happens. In fact there is no indication that you've even clicked the item to be dragged.

I'm getting this same problem. I cannot click to drag all of the files into the inc folder as mentioned.

Same for me. I guess a recent update messed with that functionality. I hope they fix it soon.

Yeah just checked this out, and yup you can't drag and drop files into a new folder. One work around is to create a new folder like in the video (inc) and create a new file such as units.php and copy and paste the original file into the new one, then delete the prior file. This kinda sucks, so I understand your frustration. This looks like a WorkSpaces' issue. I think they need to create that drag and drop option, or fix it if was there before. the second work around is to use your own text editor, but then you will need to use a local server to view the site.

I will inform Treehouse of this issue. Thanks for bringing this up.
