Hi Andreas, drag and drop can get very awkward when lists get longer and you need to try and control scrolling within the drag/drop as well.

I've been trying to avoid using it.

Maybe I can add a "Move" item to the pop up menu that currently has "Assign selection here" and "Rename" on it. The "Rename" there allows you to rename an item without having to make it selected first. A "Move" item there could be similar, it could wait for you to click on another item in the list and assign it there without needing to set selection.

You're getting to that by clicking the name line in the properties panel here, is that correct?



If you want to set it to an existing name, don't use that method - instead click on the name in the Scene browser and choose "Assign selection here", or you can also right click on it which will assign it without having the menu pop up.
