Question by AllTheGoodNamesWereTaken · Sep 30, 2015 at 01:48 AM · uieditordragdrag-and-dropdragging

Possible to drag items across tabs onto the same frame?

In the Unity Editor I have the Hierarchy and Project tabs on the same frame. I would like to drag something, lets say a material from the Project tab onto the Hierarchy tab. It seems the UI won't let me drag something onto the tab to open that tab. While dragging an object, I can't use the Window hotkeys to open that tab either. I like to keep my space efficient. Is there any way I can drag from one tab to another with out having them both up at the same time?

Thanks in advance :)

No, it's not possible. You need to have the two tabs visible at the same time. You want to keep your space efficient? Having the Hierarchy and Project view in the same tab doesn't sound like an efficient setup, regardless if it's possible somehow to drag&drop something over.

My layout usually looks like this. Sometimes i have the game view on my second monitor when i need game and scene view at the same time. Things like the console and the game view could be in the background since you don't have to interact with other views when using them. However the 4 major things should always be visible: Scene view, Inspector, Project view, Hierarchy view. Sometimes i also have a second inspector below the normal inspector. You need that when you lock one inspecctor on an object so you can drag&drop specific components from other objects.

As alternative you can undock one of them into a floating window.
