Show mode : selection of a set of buttons

Post by PolDavril »

Hi,

In SHOW mode, individual controls can be selected one by one with CTRL key but a set of controls cannot be selected by clicking the first item and SHIFT+click on the last one.
(although it works in EDIT mode).

Hi (again)

Yes it works in editor because all the scene buttons are displayed in order (can't move them around as you wish). In show mode it's a little bit trickier than that... I'll add it to our ideas list though :)

In the meantime, you can do rect selections ;)
Don't forget to mark the post as answered when you find the answer to your question ;)
Please use the "Operating System" field in your preferences for better support :)

Hi,

Thanks jp.

(1)
The rect selection is easily done if there is a "hole" between buttons or starting from a corner of the page.
However, if there is no gap around, it's almost impossible to draw the rect selection without going to move mode.
The Shift-click method would be convenient for the deletion of a bunch of buttons at once.
(although it's not priority #1).

(2)
In SHOW mode, CTRL+click on a button already selected does not unselected it.
