One issue I have with this release (using PySide6 6.5.1.1 and napari 0.4.18) is selecting videos for a project. When I click on a folder containing videos both are selected at first, but when I try to use the toggles to select only one I get into inconsistent states, with pictograms I don't quite understand.

Initial state
initial_state

Inconsistent state 1:
incosistent_state
2-5e3fbbe56b35)

Inconsistent state 2:
inconsistent_state_2

Are you able to replicate these issues?

Yes, good catch! Updating pyside6 broke the DragDropListView, let me look at it, there should be an easy fix.

This is more of an issue for napari-deeplabcut or napari, but with PySide6-6.3.1 I don't have the placeholder with low alpha (as mentioned above), and with PySide6-6.5.1 napari fails to load with error:

The issue is solved for me by installing PyQt6 using pip install PyQt6. The output of napari --info is then:

From the two warnings at the top, it seems that PyQt6 has priority instead of PySide6 and is used. I'm not sure if this will have any side effects when using the labeling GUI.

EDIT:
This works when starting napari from the command line, but I continue having the issue when launching the napari GUI from the DeepLabCut GUI (clicking on "Label Frames"). So this does not fix it.

EDIT 2:
Some more information is available in the corresponding napari issue. Using PySide6==6.4.2 works for me (I get the correct placeholder formatting, and can label images using Napari).

I've tested this PR with napari-0.4.18, PySide6-6.3.1 and the latest napari-deeplabcut (created a project, extracted & labeled frames, trained a model, evaluated, analyzed a video).

Everything worked as expected, so I think napari-0.4.18 + PySide6-6.3.1 is the setup to go with. Even though there's no styling applied to the placeholder text, I think that's really not a blocker.
