Accidentally Rating Tracks [4093]

crcm · Post by **crcm** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:22 am

This is not a bug...just a behavior.

I have several times rated tracks accidentally because of ONE mouse click beahavior in playlist and databaselist. I think doubleclick would be nice.

does anyone else thinks this is a problem?

Yes. I've done the same thing, It's a pain. At least I'm aware of it now.

It's worse when you have a whole selection of tracks - I mistakenly rated about 100 tracks to 3* the other day, overwriting the ratings they already had

Edit: I realise you're talking about the 'live' controls - I was using the menu which just makes me even more stupid I guess!

Shame there's no Undo option....

I've done this about 8-10 times since the MM3 first alphas came out. I think doubleclick would be a nice option for those of us who're fumble-fingered, like me.

Me too, which is why I'd like a real 'undo' function for database changes. Once or twice when I have accidentally trashed over 100 entries I've had to revert to the backup copy which is saved to another PC every day (along with all the other files of interest). 8<,

I must agree. Double-Click would be sweet.

Agreed. Too easy to mistakenly change track ratings.

Or even an 'are you sure' whenever you try to do ANYTHING to more than N (maybe N is user selectable) tracks/database entries at once? That would at least limit the size of the accidental damage you can do. Right now you can delete every track in the library if you have them all highlighted when you were meaning to just delete one!

Got to disagree, love the new 1-click rating system. I think an undo is a better solution than a double click to change rating.

actually... the next beta or release will have added "unknown" rating to the right cilck menu.. so it will, at least, make it easier to unrate something you accidentally rated.

I add my vote for a double-click option for ratings (undo would be nicer but I guess not realistic at this stage).

it should be a 2 click setup, not a doubleclick.

hover the mouse over the rating stars and nothing happens.. CLick one selects the rating and allows you to pick the rating, click 2 sets the rating. escape would abort the rating change if you hit it before you do the 2nd click.

Also agree here. It's a pain.
Last solution seems good.
Or an option to go back to 'old' mm2 method ?

Added to the todo list, but most likely will be post 3.0.
