Lists: Enhancements to compact view for title lists
Many of us miss (since the 6 Dec 2017 Update to List Pages) Compact View/Mode for various reasons. I'm going to attempt to list the features I miss. Please comment if I omit something important.
- One line per title, NO thumbnail image
- 250 titles on a page
- The Columns should be:
- Checkbox to select the title for copy/move/delete
- Position number, editable
- Icon for description/comments of list creator. Mouseover would display those comments. Perhaps click on icon for pop-up edit window.
- Clickable icon for pop-up display of Showtimes/On TV/On Disc/View online (not there before, but desirable)
- Title (Year of release)
- Title type (movie, short, TV, game, etc.)
- IMDb rating
- My rating, editable
- Date of my rating?
- Date added to list?
- Director?
- Ability to Refine and Sort as we have now with View Mode.
- Ability to Move To, Copy To, Delete, Save List Order as we have now in Edit Mode.
- Drag/drop to change position (previously in prior Edit Mode, but Compact View could replace old and new Edit mode with this feature list. However, it might need to be a separate feature, depending on processing power needed, especially for so many titles on the same page.)

There was a time when IMDB's list feature was very useful when it comes to gathering genre information, ranking, etc. Back then, you could drag and drop, and it was as simple as that. Now, you have to manually change the number, and there's NO WAY to just change it from there. Instead, you have to scroll all the way back up to the top and hit "save list order." The best part is, you have to do this one at a time, because if you try to place it in the right spots on the list, one item will change where everything was and will put the new items in the wrong spot. If you're trying to organize things like release dates or priority, this becomes a nightmare. I have to do this over and over for dozens of items.
Why did you take a good system and make it worse? Was it harder for the site to maintain? Was there a glitch that made it less feasible as it was? This is such a pain when juggling lists, and that's 90% of what I use IMDB for. However, it's been like this for years, so I assume you're happy with it this way. I really wish I had a better listing alternative, but there aren't many sites with as much data on media.
