[v6 General Discussion] Drag and Drop Issues!
42 CommentsSorted by Popular
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.
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.
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.
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,

Agreed. However I do not forsee using it much if any. We just need an easier way to NOT have it add to a schedule item. Very frustrating how often it accidentally happens.
I have experienced the same drag and drop problems. Where it will put one song into another. Not something I could ever image needing.
First let me say, I am sorry you are having problems.
The goal here is to allow you to create a presentation of media or scriptures very quickly.
Do you guys have any thoughts on how we can make it better? Feedback?
I could not replicate the problem with right click move up/down not working. You may have to open a support ticket about that item so we can get the exact steps to reproduce it.
Let me know about your suggestions and we can make it better.

There has also been a video created for this feature and is available on our Training Videos page

Thanks for responding so quickly Jeff. If I may say so you are trying to solve a problem which for most of us does not exist. In so doing you have made basic editing of the schedule nightmare. Please at least give the option to turn off this functionality. The inability to undo inadvertent changes made to the schedule by virtue of dragging and dropping is another major interface defect.
You may want to call support about the scripture bolding issue as I cannot replicate this issue nor have I heard of any other reports of this. Maybe a remote session would help us figure out exactly what's happening.

I can just never think of a time when I would want to combine elements in the schedule. I have noticed when your hovering, if it is going to try and add a song to another song, the line is a bit shorter. But I still end up accidentally adding a song to another all the time unless I remember to be very careful.
OK,
I've watched the video so I now 'understand' how this new functionality is supposed to work. Even with that knowledge it's a complete disaster for me. Foolishly I thought I'd test my understanding by moving some songs around. VERY carefully looked for the full width line BEFORE releasing the mouse. Despite this the 'moved' song disappears. Of course it's now embedded into another song and can't be extracted. Why would you think anyone would ever want to do this?
PLEASE remove this dreadful 'feature' ASAP - it's making working with a schedule a complete nightmare!

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.
