Dragging/changing order of multiple songs in manual order - smcdole - 12-01-2024

I've noticed since the Companion App on Windows received a significant UI overhaul this earlier this year that some functionality has been taken away in my experience.

I can no longer click and drag multiple songs when editing a manual order setlist. I have tried holding shift and clicking the group of highlighted songs in the list, yet it still moves just the one song that was under the cursor. 

This is a big con for me when using companion to efficiently modify my setlist orders. 

Also, the dark mode that came with the same big update was a welcome change, but the line color that indicates where the song you are dragging is going to land, i.e. before or after an entry in the list is a dark line against a now dark background. That line needs to be inverted to white for better visibility.

These two things are my only major gripe! Hopefully this post can get some answers.

When it comes to the multiple selection behavior, the new framework would have made it impossible to support that while also supporting a single click to add entries. I prefer the default behavior being a single click to add things. However, in order to support multiple selection, my plan is to have a toggle for insertion mode, where it enables multiple selection of entries, but left click no longer adds things. If you click on the left list, it will add all of the selected entries before the selected entry (or to the end if you click at the end). How does that sound? I think a click will be faster than drag & drop in many ways.

I will look into fixing the issue with the dark line on a dark background - that should be easy enough to adjust.

Thanks,
Mike
