Title: Drag and Drop Reorder of Playing Now, MC 11.1.77
Post by: twebb72 on December 12, 2005, 03:33:35 pm

I've noticed the drag and drop reorder functionality has been removed in 11.1.77 (When I go to reorder a playing now file, the 'No' cursor appears). Is this a band-aid for a bug? I really liked this functionality (helps alot when forming playlists). I hope its coming back in 11.1.78. Any plans on bringing it back?

It should work.  Try the build that's going up shortly.

If it still doesn't work, email a screenshot of what you're looking at to matt at jriver.com so we can make sure we're on the same page.

Thanks.

Thanks for the screenshot.

Drag-n-drop reorder is disabled when there is a search in the search box since you're only looking at a subset of the full list.  In this case, it isn't clear what a reorder would mean, so it gets disabled.

Does that make sense, or is it obvious what a reorder would mean to other people?

Hey, that makes sense. I'm not sure but I think I would prefer a reorder after the previous file. Say the order is 50, 55, 60. Reorder 50 after 55 and it would be queued as 56. Just a thought. It's probably opening up a can of worms though.

Matt, is there any chance that Playing Now could simply be exempted from searches?  It seems there are already special rules for playing now when seen in a view (cannot delete, for example).  In terms of usability, having to restore playing now before dragging in search results does complicate things a bit.  The reorder restriction takes it further, IMO.
