Actions List

[mccreadl]

I would love to have the ability to move the actions that I use most often to the top of the actions list or at least have the actions in alphabetical order. It would be very helpful when setting the actions on a large number of objects like in a memory game. Also is there a way to have the objects in the list (like when you are setting the object) in reverse order for the newest object to be at the top of the list to prevent scrolling down so many times down a long list to set your object. If either of these suggestions is possible, please let me know how to do it. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO ON THIS SITE. Finally, the person who suggested Spell Check is so right!

I second that!

We have recently implemented this for font choices so it may be possible to do this for actions. I'll forward this as an enhancement request.

V3.7 has an option to show the actions list in alphabetical order.

Also it is now possible to type directly into the Action List selector text box in order to find an action within the list.

Oh, i would like it if I could choose the order of the drop down list. That list is really long (which is cool at the same time), so if I could choose my top 5 that show up at the top, followed by a horizontal line then the entire alphabetical list that would be so amazing!

I like the idea of your favorite actions at the top. I use some of the same actions all the time and find scrolling for them sometimes is tedious. I LOVE that they are now alphabetized, but I still have to scroll to get where I need.

Thanks for the alphabetical, but maybe in the future we could have the favorites too??:confused:

Dont forget, if you start to type into the Actions text box, the action list will drop down and automatically scroll to show you the first action that matches your typing.

eg Type 'op' and the list automatically scrolls to the action: 'Open Document or File'

This should help to reduce your scrolling.

Remember, v3.7 only.

Can people list their top 5 actions?
