checkboxes to perform delete on multiple items
Last modified: 2008-06-03 14:59:50 UTC
The Web interface should include a view with checkboxes to perform delete on multiple items up down button to shift tracks earlier and later in the playlist.
Doesn't the Default skin have this or am I missing something?
No it doesn't for multiple tracks. (Fishbone allows you to remove a whole album from the playlist) It would be nice (with the default skin) to select a range of songs to delete/move etc. Like the checkboxes in gmail accounts?
Adding check boxes would clutter the UI quite badly.
I wouldn't have thought so - It's just adding a checkbox either alongside or in place of the up/down/delete buttons for each track, and then a set of buttons that affect all checked tracks at the top & bottom of the list?
I changed my mind about the move buttons but would really like to be able to delete multiple tracks in one operation.
Moving bugs that won't be immediately fixed in 6.1 release. Please review and update if this is an error or if this bug has already been fixed. Thanks.
I think that ExBrowse2 covers this pretty well although I'd still like a way to delete multiple tracks.
I don't know if this is an additional or not. But I'd like to see the same for when you are adding tracks to the playlist. Instead of choosing all tracks or a single track, check the desired tracks in the list and then click <Add to Playlist> It would dramatically reduce the frustration creating manual playlists. David

I like this idea. A lot. (In reply to comment #3) > Adding check boxes would clutter the UI quite badly. ??? Try it and see. How much clutter should another box next to the controls be? Or make it an option. Or put it in a derivative skin using 6.5's skin inheritance. Do _something_ to address the tedious web UI.

So, if you navigate to a single song and press the ADD button, it does add a single track to the playlist. This is actually fewer operations than trying to select some set of tracks then add them all together at once.

The first set of clicks (of the checkboxes) would all be local in the browser UI, especially if it was fully Ajaxed.

In fact this site is masterful in its use of Ajax, including simulation of modeless child windows "popping up" over the browser (simulated by graying out the background and repainting the middle of the client area, with a Close-X button in the upper right corner of the "popup." Worth emulating.
The web UI has been much improved along these lines. If there are specific new ideas, please open a new bug.
