| Summary | 0005216: Better indication of common/mixed/blank values in the Properties Window. | ||||
| Description | When editing multiple tracks at once it is desired to better indicate which fields has common, mixed or blank values. The current implementation is a bit confusing and can lead to dataloss, especially for new users. As Risser described it: There are 4 different combinations - All blank: This is easy, leave it blank - All the same: This is also easy, show the common value - All the same or blank: This could be shown by shading the text box somehow to indicate that all the items that have a value are the same, but some items have no value. (As it stands now, there is no way to tell if all the Quality fields are set, because I can't show that field on the table either.) - Fields have different values. This could be shown by a blank, shaded field, or better yet, include a drop down with each of the values, so you could pick an existing one to make them common, or type in a new one. It has been requested many times. | ||||

Some time ago i saw a nice solution for this issue. In combo box there was a grayed text 'Multiple value' followed with 'I' char in the grayed circle. Clicking on this circle a dialog with list of the values will show up: |------------------------------| | Usage count | Value | |------------------------------| | 10 | value 1 | | 8 | value 2 | | 2 | value 3 | | 1 | <empty> | |------------------------------| | | | [ Use ] [ Close ] | |------------------------------| Using 'Use' button user can use selected value. |
