Title: Edit Multi Value field in Panes
Post by: bennyd on July 11, 2006, 01:31:41 pm
When you edit a Multi Value field in the panes, a dropdown appears where you can choose only one value.
The only way you can add multi values in panes is bu typing them in manually.

Wouldn't it be a good idea if you click a multi value field in the panes to edit, that the action window changes automatic to the field editing so we can choose miulti values ?
(like if choosing a tag to edit in the action window)

Click the checkboxes to the right of the values in the panes.  This is "Tagging Mode" and is well suited for list-style fields.

I mean the LIST view, not actually the panes, when you're in "Playlists" or in "Playing Now", you don't have that view, you can only in place edit the field then.

Is this the semi-colon separated lists we're talking about?
Suggestion...wouldn't it be cool if you clicked in the list to edit them, and a combobox with the values listed appeared instead of the type-it-yourself-drop-down ?

Yes, I'm talking about the semi-colon seperated list, but I want to be able to select multiple values at once in stead of just one like it is now (in playing now)

So would I like to. I ususally populate my semi-colon lists by 1. expanding the tree with the different values and 2. dragging the songs to each value that I sees fit. But inline editing, like I tried to explain earlier would be really nice.

I saw that the board changed my checkboxes to an unordered list, trying again. Here's the alternative inline edit box when you click to edit a field:

(x) selected item 1
(x) selected item 2
(_) not selected item 3
(x) selected item 4

instead of the current dropdown with:
selected item 1;selected item 2;selected item 4

hope it makes sense :)

That's what I mean, that would be very useful.
I would even be happy if the Action Tag Window would automic open in the selected field window when editing the field in the panes.
