Selecting cues for bulk editing

Post by d_korman » Fri May 24, 2013 11:48 pm

I'd like to be able to select cues for bulk editing directly from the editor cue list using the mouse, shift and CTL keys in the same way as you can select multiple files in Windows Explorer. Once selected, right clicking the mouse should bring up the context menu which would include the "Bulk edit" option, which would then open the bulk edit window with the relevant cues selected. Currently, trying to select cues in the bulk edit window by clicking in the little boxes is slow and with a laptop touch pad, inaccurate.

Also, it would be good to be able to use the find cue functionality to find all cues that matched the search string and then open the bulk edit window with them selected.

Thanks,

Dave

I second this request!

The current method of selecting cues in the "Bulk Edit" window is difficult and inaccurate for me too. It's also often hard to figure out which cues to select, because that "Bulk Edit" list of checkboxes looks different from the Editor cue list.

I would love to see "multi-select" functionality directly in the cue list -- with the related ability to right-click and "Bulk Edit", as well as copy, cut, paste, reorder multiple cues via drag+drop, etc...

This would make it so much faster and much more intuitive to edit long and complex cue lists!

Thank you!

CTRL / SHIFT -CLICK for selecting multiple cues in the editor is a must have for re-organising long playlists.

Please, please, pretty please :D !
