Remove "Move before/Move after" when rearranging ops

[SlaveCam]

Is it a completely unnecessary extra click, because I always want to move after (as I always have). Can this be turned off?

I might have seen a confirmation setting in the settings.

Funny thing about this feature...

For years and years, it always used to function like this: Select ops, left click and drag and the ops that you dragged would automatically be MOVED AFTER the op you released on. Select ops, RIGHT click and drag and when you released, you'd get the option to move/copy the ops before/after the op you released on.

So like you, I've always wanted to move the ops after the op I released on. And I knew exactly how to do it quickly.

Then, one day it was mentioned here, that the functionality that we were all used to was actually a bug. They fixed it and now it's a nuisance.  

Now that it's fixed, we have the functionality that you're questioning. And I agree, I don't like it either.

I couldn't agree more, seems like an unnecessary extra click. A way to toggle between the old behavior and the new behavior would be superb.

Ha! i like it, but choice is better.

I believe the alternative, and the reason why this was changed, was the dreaded accidental move of an op in the ops manager that would wipe out the structure of what you were doing. You'd move something by accident by holding the left click down too long and making a slight mouse movement, and not know what was moved, where it went, or where it originally came from, because the move was completed as soon as you released the mouse. The move before/move after menu not only gives you a chance to change where the op is inserted- it gives you a chance to cancel if the drag was inadvertent.

Yeah when that used to happen I didn't even bother trying to figure it out I just reload the file.

Which begs the question... why can't you undo a moved operation in the Ops manager? Is it a legacy code thing (/ducks) or is it really that difficult to do?

A little early to start chumming the waters no?
