[Chapter Listing] Multi-Select Filtering for Languages in Chapter View

[jmortan]

Currently for a user to choose what languages they would like to see, they have to go to their default settings and select a language.
However this current view can become cluttered for those who speak/are trying to learn multiple languages, or would be okay reading the manga in a language they don't understand (trying to grasp the plot through the images). To de-clutter users have to go back into their settings and change their default language to just one.
Because of this it would be great to introduce a way for a user to filter through in the chapter listing view the languages they would like to see.

A proposed feature is this:

Users are able to click on a language filter in the chapter listing view.
The filter will show exclusively languages that they have selected in their settings.
The user is able to select one or multiple languages of these to to see chapters in.

A possible design is below:

In this example, I have my default languages set to English, Chinese, and Spanish.
However, I have only selected English and Spanish in the filter.
As such only chapters in English and Spanish appear.

I think this feature has many use cases and would be super helpful to implement! (even though it might not be the highest on the priority list)

Nah, I think that's another edge case scenario that no one but OP finds problematic.

Seriously? Too cluttered? Don't enable 10 langs if it becomes a problem!

until your problematic problem is solved, this is the closest you'll get right now

OP, this isn't actually a bad idea, it's just that it is, as you've stated, not a priority. It's isn't really an issue either. Quality of life improvements are nice, but there are better improvements that the devs can work on and are currently working on.

Its very niche thing so it likely wouldnt get implimented, (FUCK FEATURE BLOAT, IT RUINS EVERYTHING)
And im sure MD devs are too busy putting out all the fires from the repeated waves of invaders.

 

[jmortan]

Yeah haha it’s definitely niche and not high priority but something I would appreciate so just throwing it out there

This looks like a nice suggestion!

I have a bunch of languages selected in the settings, but there are times when you want to check the 'raws' for this one manga. But you can't. They're hidden. You have to select all languages temporarily, and then later return your settings to normal manually, or the updates will be all messed up. Rinse and repeat, and the process becomes kind of cumbersome.

So basically I want a button that shows all the hiden chapters of the manga. And the language menu would do the job just fine!
