Previous versions of nodequeue allowed you to stage a "batch" of content in a nodequeue by incrementally adding nodes, and then pushing the queue's contents live in the corresponding view by saving the queue when you were done.

Is there a way to keep the "add" and "save" functions separate?

Thanks,
Dave

This is a good point -- This is a distinction that was eliminated when we moved to the new queue ordering interface. I would accept a patch to incorporate it back in.

My users are screaming for this: you can't reorder, you can't modify, you can't reverse/shuffle.
I didn't have yet the time to work on a patch but, to me, this should be considered a bug, and a serious one.

Since you can still order the queue without saving, this seems like a feature request to me. Patches are welcome.

Here's a patch that adds this functionality.

Removed whitespace errors.

Made patch work for adding multiple items. Also removed javascript validation because it validates anyway on adding item.

Changing branch to 2.x since the patch still applies cleanly, and this might be a good first step for #2280415: Unable to add/remove+rearrange nodes to queue without also saving before all desired changes are made

Also, nice work! Patch still works perfectly and is a massive UX improvement! :)

Hm, looks like that broke tests. This should fix it.
