Summary | 0017594: Ability to copy configured nodes between various views | ||||
Description | Currently it is not possible to set the configuration of the columns for all views as same. e.g. configure the columns for the Album Interpret view and copy this configuration to the search result view. Could be resolved either by adding: a) columns configuration (copy/paste) to the "Manage views" functionality b) copy/paste configured columns directly to the list column's header (right-clcik the header -> Choose columns/sort) c) configurable presets to the 'Choose Columns' dialog d) addon that makes the column configuration shared between all views | ||||

I think that c) would make the most sense. Below the Sorting area, there could be a section with a dropdown and three buttons: Save Preset, Load Preset, and Delete Preset. To save a preset, the user can type the name into the dropdown and hit Save; To load/delete a preset, the user can click the right item in the dropdown and hit Load/Delete. I don't think that Delete Preset should require a prompt, because it's not something that really causes any data loss. I can code up a prototype if you'd like. |

c) ok, might be useful, so let's try if you have time d) I have just added addon for sharing the columns settings and visibility It is in .../sampleScripts/sharedColumns Assigned to Draki to upload the addon to our addon's repository? Maybe after some brief testing? Also attached the addon here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=478724#p478724 for the user to test. EDIT: This initial version of the addon isn't perfect, as by sharing the columns it removes '#' column from playlists / playing node. Workaround is to edit the shared columns within playlist node. |

Note that sorting is affected in a similar manner to columns (i.e. it gets lost and isn't easy to recover / copy). Not sure if it belongs here or in a separate bug, but I wanted to note it so we don't lose track (it was originally mentioned at #12243 which is fixed). |

Wouldn't it be a whole lot better to start by working on the Custom Views facility (aka manage Views) to make it more universal. From what I see a Custom View, designed in the Main panel, can be used most places, with just a few exceptions: * Location sub-node, and Folders node * Playlist node * and in the global Search facility Couldn't there be an under-the-covers transaction facility to overcome those exceptions. That way users could design their views, which would have global applicability, by a background process stripping off the mode-specific View Elements, or whatever the issues are. I never did like the MM4 the "Sharing" collection facility . Too atomic. Too easy to get muddled up. Hard to get an overview. MM5 Custom Views is an improvement IMO, but it is not fully implemented yet IMO. Adding presets to the Custom Views facility sounds an ugly complicating hack to me (if I understand the proposal correctly). |
