select all

Hi,

I couldn't find a way to select all items. Why ? to prevent me from doing something wrong ?
It is very time consuming to delete item by item

 

Thats not yet possible with Buildbox. It will come in the future.

 

I was also frustrated that there is no way to select multiple objects and move or delete them all. I also had rampant issues with the software crashing when I tried to delete things too fast I lost countless hours of work due to this.

 

@Perry Make sure to save every 10-15 minutes. At first it can get a bit annoying but you'll get used to it.

 

@trygiimusic Well, this is not a cheap software and therefore "you'll get used to the crashing" is certainly not an acceptable answere to be honest.

 

I completely agree with you and I can't do anything about it. I'm just giving you advice on how to handle that problem.

 

@trygiimusic I did start saving often, pretty much every few minutes. Though since it takes a good 10-15 seconds to save the project file there is so much time lost in development.
@trudnai I agree with you completely. For the amount of money they charge, this should not be an issue.

 

@Perry It is slightly frustrating, but no biggie. As someone who has worked with computers for 25+ years, I learned a long time ago to "Save early and save often". That was a standard mantra coding in the 90's... But 10-15 seconds to save? Sounds like its time for an upgrade, you have a solid state drive in your computer? Even graphic heavy games save on my MacBook in 2-3 seconds. Not trying to rub it in ;-) ... Also possible you have a plethora of unused sounds piling up in your project causing the save file to be large? Maybe try "Remove Unused Sound Files"...

 

I can recommend this useful utility on the Mac to auto-save http://tool-forcesw.com/foreversave/

 

@AndyG I use combination of Time Machine and DropBox. DropBox synchronizes almost instantaneously and you have a file versioning, while Time Machine makes backups at every hour when your backup disk is attached.

@stevinz I am with you and similar experience with floppy disks and stuff on Apple II and PC. I guess just got lazy I guess with Apple products the last few years -- where there most Apple products rarely let you lose data with their auto-temp-savings and recovery capabilities after a crash.
