<p>It may be interesting to have an option to select many symbols at once (click'n drag, holding a shift or ctrl key).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is possible when you are not in the grouping mode (where the checkboxes appear). You can then select using the usual functions with the mouse like click'n'drag, holding shift or ctrl key.</p>
<p>I guess you know of that option and so I am interested in why you don't want to use it.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #14045: Style Manager : Allow selection of multiple symbols at once while grouping themhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14045?journal_id=668852016-01-02T17:16:53ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul></ul><p>Hi Sebastian,<br />I'm not using any of them :). I was just checking how it works so that I can update the Doc.<br />And indeed, i know of the two ways but I found handy the checkbox process so wonder if it could be improved (especially thought about click'n drag)<br />Maybe it'll complicate too much the use of the widget?</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #14045: Style Manager : Allow selection of multiple symbols at once while grouping themhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14045?journal_id=669422016-01-05T12:31:22ZSebastian Dietrich
<ul></ul><p>Hi Harrissou,</p>
<p>I see. I think this dialog is a good example of using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(computer_interface)" class="external">modes</a>. <br />IMHO the grouping mode should be dropped. The accepted method to select multiple objects is to Ctrl-Click or Ctrl-Click'n'drag and so on, not by using checkboxes.</p>
<p>Technically while in <em>grouping mode</em> currently no item can be selected at all. It would be possible to allow selection and toggle the checkboxes for every selected item, immediatly deselecting it afterwards. But I will not implement this :-)</p>
<p>However, one improvement I was thinking about is allowing drag'n'drop to the group tree. This is a feature I think the user would expect.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #14045: Style Manager : Allow selection of multiple symbols at once while grouping themhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14045?journal_id=669432016-01-06T00:02:06ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul></ul><p>It sounds good to me.<br />And +1 for the drag'n drop to the group tree.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #14045: Style Manager : Allow selection of multiple symbols at once while grouping themhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14045?journal_id=670092016-01-08T01:29:17ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul></ul><p>What about allowing drag'n drop for group also? User can move a sub-group to another group.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #14045: Style Manager : Allow selection of multiple symbols at once while grouping themhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14045?journal_id=762292017-04-30T22:46:47ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
