[Bug] Partial Drag & Drop of Episodes copies all

Post by mgutt »

If I drag a selection of episodes:

and drop it to the rename tab, it inserts all episodes:

If I use the context menu:

It works as expected:

Yes, drag-n-drop grabs the entire area ignoring selection. That's on purpose, because you wouldn't be able to grab the entire list otherwise (you'd select one item on click and then drag just that).

There are two methods available to select all entries:
1.) Click on the first entry, scroll down to the last entry, hold SHIFT and click on it
2.) Press CTRL+A

This is completely the same behaviour like in Windows Explorer and other apps. :geek:

True. It certainly does make sense to adhere to UI behaviour norms, and "fixing" it would be just a matter of removing code. I'll think about it.

Upcoming revisions will only drag the selected items, i.e. all items can only be dragged by first selecting all.


:idea: Loading a full episode list directly into Rename ➔ New Names is already supported in Rename itself simply by clicking on a database without loading in files first.
