Title: Cannot reorder tracks in a Playlist
Post by: chrisc on August 01, 2018, 09:15:56 am

On the Mac version, I just click and hold on a track and can move it up or down

This does not operate on the Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)

Is there something I need to switch on or off, or am I doing it incorrectly

Thanks

I have the same problem.  I can reorder tracks without any problem using Windows version of MC24 but not with the Linux version.

This issue also applies to the currently playing list of tracks in the Player window.

My guess would it probably hasn't been implemented in MC for Linux yet.

I've been hoping for development on this feature for over a year.  Without this feature, MC for Linux seems... well... incomplete?  Crippled?

It's really quite fundamental to a queue based player to be able to reorder the queue.

Pretty please with sugar on top.  We would all like to see this feature implemented.

Thanks to any developer who might be reading.  I appreciate the effort you put into this product.

Brian.

It really is near the top of the list and work has been done on it. It's just not trivial the way MC is constructed and the way D&D works in linux.

If there was at least some way to reorder playlist tracks without drag & drop this wouldn't be such a big deal. As in, a menu option or buttons to move a track up or down the playlist. I'm glad to be able to use MC on Linux and also Win & Mac with one license, but the Linux version is still "crippled" by this missing feature. Thanks to developers for working on this, hopefully it will happen soon.

i agree that perhaps buttons? could be a good solutions to move items up and down if D&D is problematic?

also slightly off topic, but wouldn't it be good to have a wiki page that points out the stuff that still isnt incomplete on linux so that each users dosent have to scratch his head many times to understand why D&D isnt working :D

best

The up/down button was a good idea.
It's in the next build.
