<last one that may be a duplicate> Update on progress: It seems that everyone who has tried this has gotten it to work now. Anyone on a platform other than Windows? In place editting of album titles and song titles is in, but I did it wrong...It's hitting the database directly instead of sending the commands to make it happen. The side affect of this is that the PDA and or Tablet won't pick up the change until they re-read the data for some other reason. I'll fix that shortly. You access this feature by highlighting the song or album to rename, and hitting F2. This only works on pianosoft and user catalogs. You can toggle playlist viewing on and off from the Window menu at the top. Currently, you can't "search" in playlists...is this a requirement? Drag and drop in java was harder than I would have guessed, but it's all done now. The following operations are going to be implemented, some are already working. From the left hand pane, to the left hand pane: 1) Drop a song in a different album (either a move, or a copy of the song) Standard drag is move. If you hold down the CTRL key while dragging, the icon changes to indicate that you will be copying the song. 2) Drop a song in the same album. This is a rearrangement of the play order. (won't do a copy) From the right hand pane (playlists) to the right hand pane (a manipulation of playlists) 1) Drop a song in a different album (either move or copy) adds that song to the other playlist 2) Drop a song in the same album (either move or copy) a move is a rearrangement of play order, a copy puts the song in the playlist again. From the left hand pane to the playlist pane (adding songs to playlists) 1) Drop a song in an album. Add that song to the album, and insert it into the play order where it was dropped. It won't do a move, only copy. The REALLY nice part about all of this is that you get to determine the play order at the same time as you add the album. The PDA always adds songs to the end of the playlist, and then you have to go through the sorting after that...Yuck (but no easy way to fix that on the PDA). I've added the ability to remove (delete) songs from playlists only. Right now, it is on a right click context menu. Should I support the "DEL" key, or is that too easy to hit? Currently there is no confirmation dialog...it just does it. It turns out that reorganizing the order of the songs due to and add and insert causes a whole bunch of coding headaches. You can't just fire the two commands at the piano one after the other. You have to wait for it to tell you that it's ready for file management commands again. This is made more difficult by the threading and the sockets. That part is solved for now, but it leads to another problem. When you insert a song in the playlist it gets a new songId. The piano tells you that you need to refresh your view, but that means rebuilding the tree again. That's ugly. So, I've got to work on code to sync the old tree with the new information. That's next. I hope to have a fully working playlist supported drag-n-drop version out by this weekend. In the meantime, I've gotten approval for a sourceforge project, and will likely be moving the project there (and all communication about it!) to relieve this group of rambling emails like this one. :-) https://sourceforge.net/projects/dkvbrowser/ -Kevin --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, Kevin Goroway <kgoroway@...> wrote: > > Glad you are enjoying it.
