</div>I don't remember either. We really should be asking to confirm,<br>
especially for user-generated data. But if and when someone digs into<br>
that code, it would be great to finally address the issue of selecting<br>
multiple objects. Deleting one item at a time, even without the<br>
additional step of a confirmation, is tedious.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed. I think the expectation there was that a confirmation dialog would appear in a strip beneath the toolbar, with "Cancel" and "Erase" buttons.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also agree with Walter regarding the need for multiple selection support; we had some nice mockups with checkboxes that enabled single-click (without modifier) selection of sets of objects to take action on.</div>
