Hi Ferran and Markus,

thank you so much for your input.

What we have so far:
We need a tree as drop target to crates, playlist and AutoDJ.
This should be sensitive for drops from track tables, decks and file system.

The open question is how and where to display it.
1: in the second pane
   * good for small screens
2: on top of the left pane stack
   * can be always visible

Feeling of 2 can be tested in Nemo file manager. It features two panes and a switch to select the sidebar or the directory tree in the left pane.

Any addition thoughts? Pro and cons?

    Full Tree: I think we do not nee the legacy full tree, we need a
    tree of all drop targets, right? The crates and playlist tree
    should be sufficient.


Agree, but Autodj playlist is also a relevant drop target.


    A full tree node, on every left pane breaks somehow the ButtoBar +
    Fetaure Idea.
    How can we combine both?

    How about move this Full Tree node as button to the button bar.
    This could be a special feature without a right pane.


I don't feel the button that makes the full tree appear should belong to the button bar, because it is not a feature by itself. Creates, playlists and autodj already have they own features. Maybe this button could be placed at the bottom of the left pane (first picture). Then if the button is pressed, the tree (playlists, crates and autodj list) appears and stays there until the button is pressed again (second picture). If the button is hovered while dragging tracks, the tree appears but hides when the drop is done.

How do you feel about this?

    I want to remark that is quite important to allow users to
    configure the new library to look similar to current one (one
    single pane + complete tree). Feature specific tree + collapsable
    complete tree would also work for me.

    I am not sure if I missed a point, why it is required to keep a
    view that look similar to current one. Is there an other use case
    we have missed?


Forget that, as long as you provide quick access to all relevant drop targets and allow to only display one feature this would be ok for me.


Another thing you might want to think about is how this will affect the drag and drop of tracks from OS file explorer. I'm not sure how this works now, but you can add tracks to the library by dragging them from outside Mixxx right? For every feature on the button bar, you might want to think what will happen when an external track is dragged with that feature open. What about when two features are open at the same time?

Hope this helps you to improve the project definition :)
