Thanks for this, Bob!

<div class="">I work in a similar way to what other people
describe. I keep my work separated into different Morphic
projects. When I find myself starting to digress, I start a new
project, and move the related inspectors/browsers/workspaces
into it. However, I simply do this by dragging-and-dropping
morphs into the project's snapshot/thumbnail morph*. The
thumbnail will say "GOT IT!" and contain a copy of the morph.</div>

<div class="">This approach has caveats: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">(1) the snapshot/thumbnail morph will only accept
drops if its project has been entered and exited, erm, recently
(?). <br>

I think the only real limitation is that the Project actually be in
memory. PVM's can represent projects yet to be loaded. Oh, and that
it be a Morphic project that has been initialized.<br>

More of an old-fashioned, conservative approach. Update it only when
leaving the project.<br>

<div class="">I too have wanted a halo menu item to send a morph
to another project. I like the possibility of having a "drop
zone" morph as a teleporter ... though the project
snapshot/thumbnail morph can work in this way. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am asking myself now what would happen if I
dragged a project snapshot/thumbnail morph into a shared flap so
I could move it between projects: tested, done. it works. So:
one way to move morphs between projects is to move a project's
thumbnail/snapshot morph between projects, and drag-and-drop
morphs into it. Just be aware that it will probably only work
if the project has been entered and exited "recently".</div>

I work in a similar way as Stéphane describes.

<pre class="" wrap="">I use projects mostly as virtual desktops where I keep different aspects
of my work (be it development or music composition) more or less cleanly
separated.
When I realize that what I'm working on is not anymore in the meant
scope of the current project, I create a new project and dispatch all
workspaces, browsers and other tools (including homemade ones such as
musical editors) that live in the current (usually crowded) World to the
world of that project.
So I only deal with top-level morphs, and as I said earlier I added an
item in their red handle menu to easily send them away (usually several
morphs in a row). I also have another item for sending a morph copy to
another project, but I use this one much less often.
