anything out there?


drag-and-drop-reordering-of-a-list

i would create the whole drag and drop thing using the [lcd] object for mouse tracking.

it will be a bigger patch, but such things are always a great training, and its result will

reusable for the next application.

or acctually not a bigger patch when i think about it, drag and drop is pretty easy .. wait for mousedown, see at what position we are, wait until mouse is released, see at what position we are, trigger appropiate action.

dono, cellblock handles most of that internally

would be nice to have a bit of matrixctrl in jit.cellblock

like having more then one cell selected + list output in row/coll

I have devised this method for a drag and drop with jit.cellblock and coll. Note that it updates only on MouseUp.

It is probably what Roman suggested.

@Nikola, your patch was super helpful, thanks! I modded it to only swap on dragging, looks a little more like spaghetti now heh.

Very ingenious, Nikola! But why the trigger after the join with its unconnected '1' outlet?

Here is my scheme for using jit.cellblock to reorder a coll. All it does is report the old and the new position. The actual reordering can be implemented on that basis as desired (swapping, inserting, duplicating, etc). Mine is to separate the new position to free the index number, move the data there, delete the old entry and renumber.

And here's the whole thing. I designed it to reorder MIDI playlists, but I imagine it can be useful in other ways as well.

I built this to reorder MIDI playlists, but it should work on any list fed to the coll (using listfunnel, for instance).
