Guidelines
- Required
- When appropriate, the File Selection dialog should allow the user to
differentiate between moving the link or reference to a file or object, moving
its underlying storage location, or both.
- Recommended
- When the user chooses Move To in the File menu, the File Selection dialog
should allow the user to move the file or object to the trash, in which case
the window is closed or replaced by a view onto a new object.
- Recommended
- When the user chooses Move To in the File menu, the File Selection dialog
should allow the user to move the file or object to the clipboard, in which
case the window is closed or replaced by a view onto a new object.
- Recommended
- When the user moves multiple files or objects, the File Selection dialog
should allow the user to name only the place to which the files or objects are
to be moved, but not to provide new names for each of them. If any new names
are needed, they should be generated from their current names in a way that
does not conflict with any names at their destination.
