Select All Shortcut

Maybe I've missed something but;

I like Next+Back shortcut to Select All. Nice. Works great if you're re-selecting all fixtures in a group your using.

However, especially when focussing, i selct a light with its user number. subsequently the shotcut selects everything on the console. not very handy, especially if you are in highlight. Smoke machines, servers, massive amounts of generics. you see where this is going. not good.

this can easily be done absent-mindedly or accidently, when looking at the rig whilst focussing for example

would be much and easily i imagine improved by limiting the re-selection to the fixture type of the active fixture....

what do you think? next build???!!!

cheers then.

    Robbie,

    As Marty just pointed out to me... try [select] on the main toolbar.

    I'm afraid you may have missed the point here Jonathan.

    I'm aware how [select] works from the toolbar.

    I am suggesting a modification of the select all shortcut (by pressing next and back at the same time) as per my original post.

    cheers anyway,

    Hi Rob,

    jhust thinking about the shortcut idea, i personally like it, often used when quickly adjusting stuff, so anyhow one hand is near both buttons, so yes good idea

    Robbie,

    The problem with select all selecting every fixture in the show is a bug that affects both select all from the toolbar and next+back. The problem happens when you are using next and back to step through your entire rig. If you are stepping through an existing selection, selecting all should work properly. If next or back are bringing new fixtures into your editor, then this bug can happen.

    This problem is logged as bug #6267 and we hope to get it fixed in the near future. I've added your comments to the bug. Thanks for the good report.
