computerprep 148 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Improvements on the long-press menu items in Android Mobile seem to have broken the multi-select feature. I've done a few searches, but can't seem to find any hits talking about this feature. Where did the multi-select feature go? Seems to be working in the Web App, just missing on mobile.

computerprep 148 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Posted August 8, 2018 Oops. my computer double-posted this. Can someone please delete this?
Luke 42078 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 It's something that we need to find a new pattern for given the new long tap behavior. Thanks.
computerprep 148 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Posted August 8, 2018 My UI suggestion would be to add a "select" option in the long press menu. After that, subsequent single clicks will add items to the selection.
Kurato 0 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Why change how it worked? Previously it was long press highlighted the item and there was the menu in the top right corner if you wanted to do anything with the selected items. Imo that feature worked great. Just my opinion though lol
Luke 42078 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Because I wanted to give users their posters back by taking away all the icons that were overlayed on top. Once that was changed, then we had to change the long press behavior or there would be no context menu. I did a lot of comparison with other apps and found that long press to open context menus was the most common. Additionally, removal of all the icons simplifies the interfaces which improves rendering times on cheaper devices.
Kurato 0 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Acknowledged wasn't trying to harsh the mellow or anything. If it makes the app run better for the masses then cheers just didn't know why it was changed
Cerothen 97 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 I also would appreciate multi select returning on some form. It was a feature that I used often and it's absence hasn't gone unnoticed. Thanks!
Luke 42078 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Yup, just need to figure out how it will be done. Thanks.
Luke 42078 Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Multi-select will be back with the next update to the app. thanks. 2
