Right Click Behavior in Media Tree not correct [#16568]
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:06 pm
Repro:
Have the media tree expanded showing some playlists.
Left click a playlist in the media and the songs in the playlist are listed in the main panel as expected.
Right click a different playlist in the media tree (Say you want to select a playlist to edit).
Result:
When you right click the different playlist, that right clicked playlist replaces the previous playlist in the main panel.
Expected:
The first playlist should stay displayed in the main menu, and you should only present a context menu showing the operations available for the newly select playlist that you selected with the right click. (eg. The context menu might show, Play, Edit, etc.) Only when you select an action from the context menu, should something possibly happen to the main panel.
This is the way Windows selection is supposed to work. Left click, selects the item (and displays it if appropriate). Right click is only supposed to show the operations available on the newly highlighted item. It is not supposed to automatically select it. See built-in Windows programs like Windows Explorer, etc. They all behave the way I describe.
FWIW, This was the scenario I was trying to do....
I chose a playlist I want to work on (and it appears as expected). I then go to the media tree to select another playlist that I want to also edit. Surprise! The first playlist disappears, and the newly highlighted playlist appears in the window AND the "edit playlist" panel of the newly highlighted playlist also appears. You now have two panels showing the same playlist. What should have happened is the first playlist stayed in the main panel, and the playlist that I highlighted and wanted to edit with right click should have appeared in the "edit playlist" panel.
