Describe the solution you'd like

Desktop

  • Once you have one selected, just mark the whole "cover" area as "add to selection".

Mobile

  • Start the selection by long-pressing a cover and then every other cover press adds to selection

Describe a small use-case for this feature request

Desktop
For batch selection this would make it lots of easier. It's obvious that once there's one selection that when a user clicks on a second cover they don't want to start reading or mark progress, they just want to add to the already existing selection.

Mobile
The only way currently to select a cover here is by some workarounds, there's no "hover" effect you have on a mobile really so long-press would take care of this.

Additional context
An image to visualize what I mean by "whole cover area". Basically everything I've put lines on should work as an "add to selection" since once you've one selected it's obvious you want to continue to select more.

Hi, thanks for the feature request!

Make the whole cover clickable on desktop

This would indeed make it easier to use. I will work on it soon 👍

Long-press on mobile

I agree the current design is not ideal on mobile, but I am not sure if using long-press is a good idea. It's not easy for users to "discover" that they can long-press to select on mobile, and the different UX on different devices might break user expectations. @jaredlt Would love to have your input on this matter!

Hello there,

Not to worry, I'm glad you're giving the suggestions at least a proper think-over.

The only reason I suggested the long-press is because that's how I'm used to selecting things for "Multi-select" in phone apps like Plex, etc.. But ultimately I leave that up to you, just figured I'd mention something as right now it's pretty non-intuitive to do it through mobile.

Great software by the way, just started using it and it looks very promising.

Hey sorry for the long delay! In v0.17.1, the whole cover image is clickable once you've made a selection. This should improve the UX a bit.

For the long-press, I think it would be better to keep the current state because the different behavior on mobile would break the user expectation. I do have plans for official mobile apps, and I think I will use the long-press there. Anyway, thanks a lot for the request!
