| Summary | 0001984: make the hierarchy menus easier to use | ||||
| Description | For starters, you should be able to select multiple items in there, it's very annoying when I want to delete a bunch of samples or patterns at once and I have to go one at a time instead of just box selecting and pressing delete all at once, might be even faster than using the cleanup menu in certain circumstances! Even if box selecting isn't possible, it's very annoying when I instinctively shift or ctrl click to select multiple items on there only to unselect the first thing I clicked, so that could be added instead In the same vein as that, being able to drag samples or instruments would make working a lot faster, so instead of having to open the sample tab in one song, copying, going to the other song, and pasting, you could just grab the sample and bring it over, not to mention if you want to use multiple from a sample or instrument bank you could just select them and drag them all across instead of pasting one at a time. Finally, being able to "add" patterns into the hierarchy should probably be added, it seems so weird that you can Edit, Delete, Set, Rename, but not make a new one. | ||||

What are hierarchy menus? |
|
|
Sorry if there's a correct name for it, but I meant this file viewer off on the side. |
|
|
The official name is the "Tree View" |

If your feature request starts with that, it's always a bad sign: One feature request / bug report per issue, please. It makes it really difficult to organize features/bugs if they all belong to the same issue, as e.g. the issue cannot be closed if only half of the requested features were implemented.
Unfortunately multi-selection is only a somewhat unofficially supported feature of the tree view component, so its behavior can be a bit iffy. I tried implementing it once but it didn't feel right. I might have to give it a go again at some point.
Indeed it would be. Did you actually try it? Because you can already do that. |

I know, but the features were all interconnected so I wasn't sure what to do, so is the correct thing to do to open multiple bug reports at the same time right?
Sorry my bad, the actual issue is that you can't drag instruments from soundfonts and sample banks directly into songs in the tree view, and it seems inconsistent that it can be done from song to song, but not sample bank to song. |
