Track Folder Dragging Lock Option
Let's prevent the possibility of altering routing in a critical situation by accidentally dragging a track or clicking the folder icon.
If you've tried using Reaper on a touchscreen or even a drawing tablet yet, you might have noticed that it's incredibly easy to accidentally drag tracks and items out of place by accidentally brushing against the screen.
Even if you haven't, surely you've done this while trying to edit a fader or knob with the mouse, as I do all the time. Now imagine destroying that routing structure live.
We can lock the items in place to avoid this, but not tracks. We need another lock option to prevent dragging tracks. You can have your whole project fully locked down but still drastically alter signal routing by bumping against the screen.
It should lock changing folder states as well (from the button on the TCP), but that could be a separate option in case we only want to use one or the other method of making folders. But I accidentally hit that icon as well.
Even if you don't use a touchscreen and don't intend to, you still might need to ensure that complex folder setups won't ever accidentally change.
In a live situation, screwing up your routing like that could be pretty disastrous and confusing. And you cant just hit undo because that often interrupts the sound device altogether.
