[FR] Difficulty Highlighting

[rithik-b]

Thank you so much for making such a great website for playlist editing! I just have one feature request, difficulty highlighting!

https://github.com/rithik-b/PlaylistManager/wiki/Difficulties explains it all, I’m thinking you could list the difficulties and characteristics provided in the beatsaver api, and let the user select any number of difficulties they want to highlight when editing a song in a playlist. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Oops I noticed there is highlighting but by default everything is highlighted, how to change that?

Sorry just saw this :P Ooh you mean like filtering songs by difficulties?

[rithik-b]

No
In your current playlist output, each song also has the "difficulties" field populated.
You should not do that as it isn't what that field is designed for.
Instead it is used for highlighting, i.e. the playlist author should select some difficulties in the UI and those will be the highlighted difficulties that they intend the player to play.
The wiki article has more information on it.

OH I understand now haha, din't realise that's what that field was for.
Guess the fix would be to make a seperate highlightedDifficulties field for the Song object, then save it as metadata.difficulties instead.

Then need to figure out how do a 'highlighting difficulties' for each song...
