[v6 General Discussion] Drag and Drop Issues!
42 CommentsSorted by Newest First
This will happen if you drag from resources to the schedule. It does help to disable the autoexpand function in the schedule.
That is a great help actually. I wasn't aware of that option.
Thanks,
nolly

6.7.5 will require you to hold the ctrl key down in order to drag into each other. This should help prevent accidental combining of items.
Rodger,
Just to confirm what others have said, this is NOT the case. I am running 6.7.13.0 and am continually frustrated by images, videos and audio files ending up in the middle of a song when I am trying to drag and drop them WITHOUT holding down the ctrl key.
Been using EW9 for a few years and we have just made the move to EW6. We are having problems with the drag and drop functionality too. Have watched the video and the interface is not intuitive with the lines above and below the song. Until this is sorted would it be a good idea to reintroduce the up and down arrows. We are thinking of reverting to EW9 which was easier to use and did all we needed.
Thanks
My recommendation is to be patient with it. EW 6 and now EW 7 will be worth it. No way I would ever want to go back now.

I always drag and drop images onto songs -that's how I change a song's background for each service. So, I hope that stays. I would think holding the ctrl key down would add the picture to the end of the element, like showing a picture at the end of whatever you had in there. Just dragging and dropping normally would add the image as a background to every slide in the song
Yeah, that is right. Was not thinking about that.

I just tested it and it looks like images can be dropped on other items in the whole schedule without holding ctrl.
That's what I was going to post. It doesn't do it with songs, but it can be done with images.

Hi Crawford69,
If you update to 6.7.5, you'll find that this is no longer an issue. In 6.7.5 you'll find that you have to hold down the ctrl key to drag items into each other. Hope this helps!
When an item is dragged into the schedule and placed at the very bottom, the partial black line can be seen and the item can be dropped - intentionally or unintentionally - on top of the last item in the schedule, even if the ctrl key is NOT being held down.
Yes. I don't have details on the who, what, when, where, why and how.
But I didn't want to use PowerPoint anymore and wanted to bring what I had already created into EasyWorship so I didn't have to start over. So this was a good solution for me, because I didn't want to have to work in two programs each week to get my announcements done and worship service done. This made since for my purposes because my intent was to stop using PowerPoint and use what I had created in PPT as long as it was still relevant but create new content in EW.
Gothcha.
Are there plans to implement animations in the EW editor?

You may continue to use PowerPoints if you wish, but EasyWorship Presentations run much smoother than PowerPoint because they are native to EasyWorship. Also this is for those of us who don't do anything fancy with our announcement loops. From my experience most PowerPoint slideshows we see are very basic without animations. So, if you don't use animations and you want to stop using PowerPoint this is a great method to start the switch. Why would you use PowerPoint if you didn't have to? I stopped using PowerPoint for announcements over a year ago and have no need to return. I still play powerpoint slideshows if I have to, but if I can avoid PowerPoint I will. Native content is much faster and smoother.
Agreed, the smoothness of transitions between PowerPoint and EW are not as nice as between full native stuff. Just seems like a lot of extra steps when you already have it setup in PowerPoint.

We have to recreate the video since the functionality changed. We'll get it out as soon as we can.

On the latest release Build 7.4 the right click 'move item up or move item down' isn't working for me. Generally nothing happens - sometimes an item goes to the end of the schedule, sometimes it will move up or down one item. Nightmare!
Disappointed that the bug causing first scripture slide to not be emboldened hasn't been fixed.
