Drag n' Drop to tag and categorize #14661

Open AGlezB opened 3 years ago

AGlezB commented 3 years ago

Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.4.1 x64 on Win 10 Pro

What is the problem

As of current version the way to tag or categorize torrents is to use the context menu.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select torrents
  2. Right-click
  3. Click on Category or Tags
  4. Click on desired category or tag

If tagging you'll need to repeat this for each tag.

What is the ~expected~ desired behavior

  1. Select torrents
  2. Drag
  3. Drop

Extra info (if any)

This is a quality of life improvement. I use categories heavily to keep my torrents organized and using the context menu repeatedly is difficult and prone to click on the wrong item. This is unrelated to #5860

Or switch back to 4.3.9 - right click > select category. I can't comprehend why they broke it.

I had this thought as well. It would be productive to just select a bunch of stuff and drag it over the respective tag. If the highlight is not removed, than it could be done to multiple tags, if relevant. (Though nowadays you can check multiple tags in the context menu, so that advantage is gone)

Productive is one way to put it. In Windows, it has been the default way to organize things for at least 30 years. It is a familiar and efficient way of doing things in GUIs and it is likely that #15946 would have been less noticeable if qBittorrent had it.

On the other hand, I have no idea how hard it is to implement. This is not a paid software and the lack of it doesn't seem to matter to most users. For me it is a pain every time I forget about it and try to drag torrents to one of my categories. I hope someone can implement it sooner rather than later.

Important and very wanted feature.
