Bug ? Editing groups

Hi,

Unlike what I used to do on the classic software, on Titan I do not use precise group numbering on a regular basis - so I cannot say if this is a specific V9 bug.
But, whatever it is, right now group editing and renumbering is really messy on my desk (and on my TM as well).

Starting from auto-generated groups :

- I'm not able to renumber groups with already used user numbers, as the "Swap number with group ABCD" softkey does not seem to work at all.
- I thus wanted to start from a blank sheet and deleted all the groups (in the group window *and* in the show library hoping to wipe the unassigned groups), but I can't get rid of them : when I select all spots, click an empty handle, set group number to 1, click handle again... group is not recorded as #1, but with the first available user number, as if groups were never deleted. So I'm stuck with a show hiding groups where I cannot find them.
- [Group] 1 > [C Edit group] is the only way I found to retrieve and get rid of the auto generated groups ; I just renumbered them one by one using numbers big enough not to be inadvertently recalled.

While I'm at it : even if the re-number function worked fine, the manipulation becomes tedious if you have to renumber lots of groups. Would it be possible to have an 'edit' option in the Grid Display of the show library ?
Spreadsheets may be a bit stark, but they are quick when you can use them...

Thanks.

Charles

Not being able to remove auto gen groups definitely looks like a bug. They do actually appear after deleting in the show library if you switch to grid view and seem to be removed when deleting from there but you still can't reuse the user number and on save/load they reappear.

Swap numbers from edit groups menu certainly isn't working.

I would also argue that it might be a bug that you can't renumber a range in the same way as other handles but this may simply have not been implemented yet. Either way fixing the above and adding range numbering to groups should make things a lot easier.

Will add to the system.

I too am having this issue of being unable to completely delete groups. I'm having to renumber them out of the way to re-use the numbers I want.

It's not a massive issue really but my OCD kicks in and I want to number them in order!!!

Cheers.
