Position in list after delete/move
Posted: 22 Oct 2005 18:03
Hi,
I think this is a bug, or at least doesn't work the way it should. ATM when we delete files, didn't actually tried but should be the same with moving, TV3 remembers which line we were on and, after the refresh, get us back on that line.
I think it should do that, but get us back on the first of the selected lines.
So if I select from line a to line b (with, for example, b=a+50) and delete the files, once it's done I should be back on line a which will show the file that actually used to be on line b+1. That way we didn't moved in the filelist.
Right now we got on line b, so in that case 50 lines below where we used to be.
I know this was the easy case, select a block from line a to line b, which isn't always the case. But like it is now we always end up somewhere we don't really know where, as files are removed but TV3 keeps the same line number in mind.
Or, another (better) idea, you could send us to line b-(nb_selected_items)+1
In my first case it would do the same, and in the other case it would bring us back to the file which was below the last one selected.
I realize that for this to work, you'll need to know which is the last line selected (which might not be the last one that got selected, aka is the focused one) and I'm not sure you do.
Cause if you use the focused one, then if the focused row is on top of the list, we will end up somewhere we have no idea where it is again, just somewhere higher instead of somewhere lower on the filelist.
So, might not be a perfect thing, but I think it would be better still cause usually we (or is it I?) select files from top to bottom of the list, and that would be the way to stay "where we were", while right now we have to select from bottom to top to do that.
