I have come to like most of the UI design choices in CB3, but one that I find somewhat annoying is the need to click on a small circle when selecting a Song from a SetList, or a State within a Song. I would prefer the ability to double-click anywhere within the Song or State name (not just within the circle) to achieve the same effect. This is especially true when I am using Cantabile on a touch screen without a mouse. I’m not sure if others agree (or care), or if this is a major coding effort, but it would make my user experience a little less tedious.
I keep doing that, selecting the song, and it not changing because I haven’t clicked on the circle. However I’m guessing this is a deliberate choice, to allow you to have a selection (or multi-selection) and manipulate it (delete, reassign program numbers etc.) without affecting the currently selected song. The distinction also allows you to have a multi-selection for song organisation, but only have a single song active.
Actually I think you can click anywhere in the column the circle is in, left of the song names - you don’t need to actually click within a circle. How about being able to select a song by double-clicking the song name? That would still allow the separate (multi-)selection mechanism.
Actually, my suggestion WAS for double-clicking. I agree that there are valid reaons for not changing on a single-click. But I find myself double-clicking on many things and expecting something to happen (perhaps a throwback to the Windows 95 through Windows 7 era!).
Oh yes, now I re-read and see you mention double-clicking…it’s late here, I blame exhaustion
How annoying! Fixed in 3096 available now.
Wow! Either you’re a mind reader or have a very fast turnaround time!
Seriously, thanks!
Actually, I’d just started the build for 3096 and thought I’d drop in here to check out what was happening and noticed your two posts… so I stopped the build and knocked 'em off.
