Browser Selection

Hi Danny, yeah it definitely sounds like it would be useful for situations like that, and probably various other things.

I'm just not sure about doing it by default since that would mean you could possibly have to do 2 clicks (first on the eye, then do the select) to actually select everything that belongs to a given browser item slot, if some things were hidden.

I think that especially when we get to groups it will be kind of nice to have the default browser selection action be kind of a "single click always selects this whole thing".


So I've set it up with a modifier key for the next beta - if you hold down shift when you click on the browser item's text, the selection will skip over any currently hidden objects, they will stay hidden and unselected.

That will work for both shift+left click (add to current selection) as well as shift+right click (make "isolated" selection - only those items become the selection).

Thanks for the feedback!
