Collection nodes cannot be unpinned [#16967 ]

Post by TIV73 »

Hi,
once the collection nodes are pinned, they cannot be removed again since the unpin it option is missing from their context menu:

To reproduce drag a collection over the Pinned collection to pin it. Once the item is pinned it cannot be unpinned again. I noticed this in 2531 and upwards. Not saying that's a new thing since these versions, just that I haven't tried any previous ones.

I re-opened: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16967 You're not supposed to be able to pin a Collection.

Awesome, thanks a lot! In 2604 unpinning now seems to work for most collection, except for entire library, home, and playing nodes. Reading the ticket I understand that not being able to pin them may be intentional, so not being to unpin them is a logical side effect since they are not expected to be in that state in the first place.

Unfortunately the entire library node is also the node I accidently pinned a while back. Is there any way to remove that node from the list of pinned items? I'm not picky as to how to do it, a javascript snippet or just instructions on where this data is stored is perfectly fine for me. I just want to get rid of it without having to nuke my entire database.

Update:
Nevermind. I found the pinned table in the database and removed the entry from there. It's gone now.

Thanks, good catch, 'Entire library' really can't be unpinned, re-opened https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 967#c66792 to be fixed for 2605+
