QuickPlanX likes Drag & Drop

Within the Same Project Window​

In the Tree and Column views, you can drag and drop tasks to reorganize your project structure:

Mac​

  • Move tasks: Drag a task and drop it onto another task to make it a child of the target task
  • Copy tasks: Hold the Option key (⌥) while dragging a task onto another task to create a copy of the dragged task as a child of the target task

iPad and iPhone​

When you drag a task and drop it on another task, QuickPlanX presents you with a contextual menu offering these options:

Drag/Drop Menu

  • Copy as child: Creates a copy of the dragged task as a child of the target task
  • Copy only the task itself without its children: Available only for parent tasks with subtasks. This option creates a copy of the selected task while excluding any subtasks it may contain
  • Move to become a child: Removes the dragged task from its current parent and relocates it as a child of the target task
Efficiency Boost

Drag-and-drop copying is an exceptionally powerful tool for building your project structure. Copying entire task branches using this method can dramatically accelerate your project creation process.

Across Multiple Windows​

Currently, dragging tasks between different project windows is not supported. For transferring tasks between projects, please use the copy and paste functionality instead.

Summary​

By mastering these drag-and-drop techniques, you can significantly enhance your QuickPlanX experience, achieving faster and more efficient project creation and editing workflows.
