Feature Request ♦ Drag & Drop Selections #54

Open touwys opened 3 years ago

touwys commented 3 years ago

Save a page, or all pages, or a selection of it, by dragging and dropping the tab, multiple tabs, or any selection on a page, directly into the relevant folder in the sidebar.

Why you need to drag? Scrapbee can already save into folder or nearby scrap selected.

I think we may have misunderstood each other? My feature-proposal involves the following steps, for which I have included an animated demonstration down below:

The steps to follow are:

**1. Open several tabs in a browser.

  1. Open the desired RDF tree in the Scrapbee Sidebar.
  2. In the browser, now select any tab, or any selection of tabs, or any portion of a page that is open in a tab.
  3. Drag the selected item or items to their desired location in the Sidebar, and drop it there.**

Demo note: The multiple-tab saving in this demo is inexact. It was included just to show how mutiple the tabs can be selected to be saved.

Scrapbee drag drop demo

I mean, this gives you same result, and easy to do. Dragging is not a good action at least for me. For example, you may lost (a carefully selected) selection area when you dragging selection but mis-click.

And I think, the most rapid solution is to set shortcuts (have not implemented).

Dragging and dropping the way I have proposed, is just that much more convenient and quicker. Furthermore, it is more replete in function, because it allows for both contiguous (shift + select tabs) and non-contiguous (ctrl + select tabs) tab selections to be saved.

Selecting webpage content to drag and then drop in the desired location, has not ever presented as a problem for me in more than 10 years of using legacy scrapbooks. In addition, the advantages of having the drag-and-drop option with which to save selected tabs and content, by far outweighs the very slight inconvenience of a perchance miss-click.

It is not clear to me how you envisage implementing shortcuts as an alternative to drag and drop?

vctfence commented 3 years ago

I mean just shortcuts for saving.

I almost never use dragging, let me do some more research later.
