Hi,
I would really like to be able to rearrange playlists by selecting multiple songs at once. Other uses for the multi-select feature would be in albums and other song lists to be able to add multiple songs to a playlist.
Google ignores the issue on their product forums for 2 years already, so I think we gotta do it ourselves.
Proposed workflow (for rearranging playlists):
- User clicks a song.
- The Song will be highlighted (grey background or so).
- Hold Shift and click another song to select everything in between. Or hold Ctrl to just select individual songs.
- Dragging any selected song now takes all those songs and inserts them where the user drops the selected song.
Potential issues:
It seems like YTM doesn't render the full song lists, so just working on the html and calling events won't work easily, because when you scroll around, elements are (afaik) being destroyed. It would probably be necessary to call internal YTM JS functions and keep track of the selected songs inside the extension. I don't know how accessible those functions are.
