[Typo3] Drag and drop in backend

[Stephane Schitter]

Hi List,

After being quiet for some time about the status on this extension I have
nevertheless been actively continuing the development. Now I am happy to let
you know that I published an updated version, with the proposed popup menu and
with a (simple) manual.

I am now going to work on the visual feedback for users to know that they have
actually grabbed a page and are dragging it.

But in the meantime could I please ask for some more feedback on this updated
version of the extension ? Do you like it, is it useful, any additional
features missing ?

I really would like to keep it the simplest possible. Not because of lack of
skills to develop it further, but I believe that it is a nice userfriendliness
tool and should not be extend to a monster extension. Keep it simple...

As with any new piece of software, be careful with using new releases of
extensions, and this one is no exception to the rule.

Regards,
Stephane
