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.
