[Feature Request] Drag-and-Drop within Queue
It will be very helpful if this feature will be implemented. :)
Currently if I want to insert some Tracks/Albums in the middle of the Queue, I have to
- remove everything after SOME point
- insert what I want
- then add the removed ones back
It IS not usable/comfortable.
Thanks for your work. :)
I tried to do it, how hard could it be? After 8 hours, i couldn't get not even close. I don't have sufficient experience with GTK yet. Hope someone better can get it done...
GTK is fairly well documented nowadays, but its Go bindings are a bit of trial-and-error. I had a quick go at the item and immediately stumbled upon the fact the selection gets reset as soon as you press the mouse button.
This behaviour gets circumvented for a right click by simply preventing event propagation, but that might not work for drag-n-drop as it's probably to be initiated during propagation. So I stopped there for now, waiting for the moment the time permits.
Having Drag&Drop in the queue would be really nice.
Would it be easier to implement when it is initiated not with a left click&hold, but when you have to hold a modifier key like for example the Alt key and then do your left click, hold and drag?
@gvegidy This won't change much in terms of complexity of the task. Moreover, click + modifier key is commonly mapped to various actions in DEs (like drag window or extend selection). The standard UX pattern for moving items is a simple click-and-drag.
Have you considered adding simple cut and paste on the selection? It would presumably be easier to implement presumably. Alternatively one could in linux at least dump the current queue to a playlist and evaluate $EDITOR playlistfile and update when it returns

Well this can basically be achieved with a script containing a couple of mpc calls and $EDITOR in between :grin:
