Moving Multiple Classes/Interfaces into a Package

[Mark Fortner]

Is there a way to move multiple classes and interfaces into a package in one
shot? I've tried selecting various elements in a diagram and changing the
namespace, but only the first selected object is moved. If I try to drag
them around in the explorer, there are too many elements between my starting
point and my destination, and after dragging the elements towards my
destination the explorer refuses to scroll further. I know I can create a
package stick it on the diagram, put the classes in it, but then I'm stuck
with a package in my diagram.

Is there some other approach to doing this that I'm not aware of?

Unfortunately drag/drop in explorer is the only technique at the moment.

One of the reasons for the property panel rewrite was to put in a
framework to allow this.

The previous property panel implementation had a hard codeed panel for
each model element.

The new implementation inspects a file to tell it what controls to
place on a panel.

In theory if we have multiple selected targets we could beuild a panel
from all the items that are common to all of those selected items and
allow them to be changed in one place. A better solution than the
drag/drop I think but there is some work to do yet.
