Drag and Drop
This page discusses items for Ticket 1446 which handles improving support for Drag and Drop both inside Jajuk and also between external applications and Jajuk.

Current state
Drag and drop only works partially in some areas, but not consistently across views. See also the comments on the Give Feedback page.
Missing items
- Queue
- Dragging to the play queue always adds at the end, not at the position where you drop
- Dragging inside the queue does some strange things, it seems to add the title to the end instead of re-arranging track order
- See also Ticket 391: allow row-selected drag and drop from table/tree views to specific position in playing queue. Currently it always drops at the end of the queue...
- Fix drag out of play queue to playlist, allow to reorder by drag and drop
- Table-View
- Dragging in the file table is strange, if you try to drag one item you often start selecting multiple lines inadvertently
- When selecting multiple items and trying to drag them, often only one item is dragged
- Tree-Views
- Dragging inside file tree should allow to move files/directories around
- Ask user for confirmation!
- Drag and Drop inside Title Tree could change the "Style" that is set for the track
- Playlist-View
- See also Ticket 315: Internal drag and drop issue in playlist editor
- Drag and Drop into Playlist also adds at the end instead of the correct position
- General DnD in/out of Jajuk
- Dragging any item out of Jajuk into a native application should do something useful, i.e. into Explorer it should copy the tracks to that position
- Needs to be defined: What should happen if a track is dragged into Jajuk? It currently has no concept of playing any track outside the collection...
- [BF] : jajuk cannot handle files outside the collection by design (see also Ticket 1438)
- ...
[BF] : I agree most of this (except last point).
[FS] : The thing I miss most, is the last point. :) I want to drag music from everyplace of my filesystem to Jajuk and Jajuk should play it/put it to the queue. But as Trant wrote, this needs more redesign.
