Description Alexander Hunziker 2010-09-09 19:06:48 UTC
When I select a clip in the media library and hit the delete key, I expect that clip to be removed from the media library. Instead, PiTiVi removes whichever clip was last selected *from the timeline*
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-09-09 21:30:53 UTC
This is by design, see comment 7 in bug #597243 for an explanation.
Comment 2 Alexander Hunziker 2010-09-09 22:06:09 UTC
I see your reasoning—you don't want the user to delete all instances of a clip by accident. Fair enough.

I would however prefer I pressing delete while having the focus on an item in the media library didn't do anything at all. If instead it deletes an object in a part of the UI which currently does NOT have the focus, then this is just plain counter-intuitive!
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-09-10 01:08:48 UTC
Ah, indeed, it would make sense to have the delete key not do anything if the media library is focused.
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-11-26 04:36:35 UTC
Note that for this to happen, you need to have a clip selected on the timeline, then click on the media library and hit Delete; if there is no selection in the timeline, nothing happens.
Comment 5 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-12-26 03:42:57 UTC
This might be:
- the timeline selection thing being overzealous and not checking the results of the "setActionsSensitive" method in mainwindow.py
- the Delete key not being among the actions handled by setActionsSensitive
- incorrect widget focus?

This is fixed in my medialibrary-code-cleanup branch.
