Change pull-down menus to multiple-selection boxes
« on: October 17, 2009, 06:25:00 PM »
I love this software. It is much easier to use and simpler than others I have tried (ampache, simplify media)

It would be cool if the 3 pull down menus defaulted to show all 3 and have "all" selected. It would be even better if they were multiple selection boxes like the iTunes Browser.

Cheers!

Hey thanks for the kind words. I've had that same request for having the 3 dropdowns show at the same time before, so I'll be adding it for a next version, as an option to be enabled by the admin. Not enabled by default because that might affect performance (I actually need to test if that's true). About allowing multiple selection, that's a bit more complex, so we might need to wait a few more versions ;)

Cheers,
Alejandro

Performance is definitely key here. I hate when applications get so bogged down with "features" then you can't even use it!

Btw, on the iPhone with the 1.2 beta running on the server side the 3rd drop down menu is almost hidden so this would be a good idea. You'd really have to know where it is otherwise it won't show the requested list because the listeners wouldn't know where to click for the last menu!

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this problem. Can you take a screen shot? (you can do that by holding the home button and then pressing the power button)

I had to get a friend take the screenshot



Its hard to see it on the computer but on the iphone when you are looking at that area the drop down bar is barely visible as I circled out on the image in red.
