Hello,
I have started looking at adding support for selecting multiple
elements, and then being able to drag & drop them together.
The application is a photo site, where it would be too tedious to drag
thumbnails to albums one by one.
The idea is to let the user select multiple items by clicking,
shift-clicking for a range, or ctrl-clicking to toggle the selected status.
My approach is to create a class "SelectSet" in dragdrop.js to manage
an
ordered set of elements of which multiple items can be selected, and
which can be dragged together. It tracks which items are selected.
I now plan to modify the ''draggable'' class to interpret mouse
events for
"select" activities as well as drag & drop.
Any feedback is welcome, before I get too far in the hacking ;-) I have
not used "Sortable" myself, so I don''t know if I should take
those
classes into account.
Regards,
Erland
