Description Mark D-B CLA 2010-05-04 13:52:47 EDT 
If I open two Artifact Explorers, on different branches, I can drag an artifact from one to the other and the "Confirm Inter Artifact Explorer Drop" window appears, asking whether I want to introduce the artifact into the destination branch as a new transaction.

Now, this is really clever, as it means that I can copy a piece of work from one branch to another but keep the same artifact IDs, which will make merging and lots of other things easier in the future.

I can select a whole bunch of artifacts, and drag-and-drop them. However, any relations that existed between them are lost. This seems to me to be a bug, as relations are just as important as artifacts and attributes.
