Lmms: Moving and dragging & dropping tracks enhancement.

Created on 30 May 2017  Â·  15Comments  Â·  Source: LMMS/lmms

  • When clicking on a "move-grip" or the track label or any empty space in a track, this is what happens:
    bug 1
    "Move-grip", "Actions for this track" and "Mute this track" disappear but "Solo" doesn't.

  • Dragging & dropping a track can only be done after pressing & holding Ctrl then clicking & dragging from the "move-grip", but moving a track isn't limited to the "move-gip" only.
    I think we should limit the ability of moving and dragging & dropping tracks to these:

I'm not sure if hiding is a good idea at all. It has a taste of bug. @umcaruje @tresf @other?

Actually (1) isn't a bug. It is a feature which shows the track is moving.
See link below:

https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/blob/stable-1.2/src/core/Track.cpp#L1770-L1774

But why the solo button isn't hide? This is a little bit confusing.

(2) is #757. Seems that some people have this issue (me and @Hussam-Eddin-Alhomsi) while some don't (@davidgerard).

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit using LMMS 1.2.0-rc3.

Kubuntu Linux 17.04, master branch of LMMS and with both Qt4 and Qt5.

@BaraMGB

Should we hide solo button? or just hide move-grip and action button only?

A transparent gray box over the whole track label to signal "inactive"
might look less buggy?

We need an indicator of the ability of moving the track inside the "BB E".

• If we are not going to hide anything (which I agree with) I think this would look nice when you click or click and drag on the "move-grip":
track idea 1
or:
track idea 2
^ (The same green as the "mute this track" button.)
If you agree with this design, what would look best, white or green? I think white.

• If we are going to hide, I think hiding the "Action" button only and replacing it with something the buttons of an elevator and implementing my first design idea would look nice too:
track idea 3
or:
track idea 4

I think we should also limit the ability of moving a track to the "move-grip".

since earlier (<1.9n) ver. did not have this, it points at qt5

This issue is reduced to only one issue. We only talk about what's described in the first comment now.

  1. There's no such version as 1.9
  2. On discord we reproduced with 1.1.3, which uses qt4
