Allow 'massive / bulk operations' on track lists [SOLVED]

[Gianluca_Finistauri]

For a better management I suggest the following FR:

Allow massive / bulk operations on track lists (i.e. in playlist or in the Library my track view). In details:

• Add “Select all visible tracks” (selects tracks currently visible according to filters) - I understand we might put a limit for the ones that have 10.000+ tracks. The option is intended for actions on a specific selection (focus) of tracks
• Add possibility to select tracks one by one via tick box (e.g. “select tracks…” option)
• Perform key actions on all selected tracks: delete all selected (from playlist, or library), add all selected tracks to playlist, like all selected tracks (if in library), etc…

Use case: I often add entire Albums or part of Albums to Playlists for future evaluation, when I did evaluate the tracks and decided I need to delete them from the playlist or move them to another playlist. And we are often talking about 25 - 30 tracks… doing it one by one it’s pretty cumbersome

A far as I can tell, all of this works already.

Select one track and you get a “select all” menu option:

I described detailed multi-selection options here:

Deleting ALL playlists at once

Welcome to the community! Go to Playlists, select one (on the PC with right-click, on mobile with a tap-and-hold). At left top, Select All. Click Delete: [image] On PC, you can also select ranges easily: Start range selection with a right-click Hold Shift and click the last in the range, all between will be selected. You can also select several ranges at once by repeating this with different range start points. Optionally, add to the multi-selection with additional clicks. On mobile, yo…

Perform key actions on all selected tracks: delete all selected (from playlist, or library), add all selected tracks to playlist, like all selected tracks (if in library), etc…

With an active multi-selection, you can do, e.g., this:

oops, yes, bit hiddent but perfect !!

I guess I’ll have to mark this a ‘solved’ somehow?
