drag and drop of the tracks beneath a custom playlist

this is actually not as hard as you'd think. all you have to do is make sure all track dragging uses the same method (currently sends a list of locs), and then just put a tiny bit of logic in each potential destination to handle the insertion/deletion. it would be nice if we could get copy/paste also working via a similar manner.

a few additional notes on behavior:

if tracks are dragged onto an existing playlist, insert them at that point (if on the title append them)

if tracks are dragged into empty space, make a new playlist for them and ask the user for the name to give the playlist (hitting cancel in the naming dialog will cause the playlist to not be made)

if one playlist is dragged onto another, offer to merge them. insertion location works just as if all the contained tracks had been dragged instead.

The only tricky part is setting up the drag and drop handlers. For example dragging a track over tracks that are within the same playlist would be a move operation but dragging that same track over another playlist would be a copy operation, lastly tragging that track onto a Smart Playlist would be an invalid operation.

this patch adds in the ability to drag/drop the tracks beneath the playlist

updated patch to latest bzr and applied fixes

there are some bugs when dropping the playlist themselves onto the panel from which they were dragged from. But the way I think I am going to do it is if the user is dragging a playlist within the playlist panel the following actions could occur

-dragging onto another playlist (does ordering of the playlist, which means the playlist manager needs to support the ordering of playlist)
-dragging onto tracks of another playlist copies the tracks of the original playlist

latest patch includes the ability to reorder playlists (and saves their order for future loads) it also includes the contents of the previous patches

Patch doesn't apply cleanly to latest bzr, please update it.

Hi, whats the status on this bug ? Anthony, do you have the time to update your patch to Exaile 0.3.x ?

closing bug due to lack of activity on this feature.
