BUG: Single resource prioritization in Library (Cmd-drag) doesn't work on Mac.

Sean T · 2025-04-16T18:13:12+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently on Mac, the only way I can prioritize a single resource from a series is to right-click on it and select "Prioritize this book" which will send it all the way to the bottom of my prioritization list. I've previously been able to hold down a key and drag over to place a single resource in the exact location I want, but it seems I can no longer do that. It's possible the last time I tried it was on my Windows installation, so I'm not sure if I've ever seen this work successfully since I hopped over to my Mac.

I've tried just about every combination (and individual use) of Shift, Ctrl, Option, and Cmd + drag, but none of them seem to work. Anyone know the secret handshake or can confirm this is broke?

On Windows it can be done with CTRL + drag.

I tried both Ctrl + drag and Cmd + drag (along with all kinds of other wacky combos) to no effect (for Mac).

Yes, this is a bug on Mac. It's supposed to be Ctrl key-drag on Mac too, I just confirmed it in the Help Center. It doesn't work for me either.

I can reproduce this behavior, and I have opened a ticket.

Thanks for the report Sean. In the meantime, I found a workaround: right-click, and choose “prioritize this book”

After the workaround, I could no longer repro.

I already mentioned in the original report about right-clicking to prioritize and how that’s not a workaround because it places it at the bottom of the list rather than specific placement. I’m unclear how you were unable to replicate after doing that.
