'Select All' option missing from Layers Details menu

[db11]

Since this seems like a newbie question, I thought I'd post it here: Is there not a simple way to turn all layers on or off at once?

From the Knowledge Centre I got this:

But I've checked in SU8/2014/2015 (mac) and there is no Layers/Details menu entry for 'Select All', only 'Purge' and 'Color by Layer'. Is it a Windows-only thing?

Seems I must have missed something obvious, because there surely must be a way to do this?

It works like this in windows.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that's the answer, though it's hard to understand why such a basic, simple feature is omitted from the mac version:

BUT even in Windows it's a superfluous menu-option.
To select all Layers...
Highlight the first one in the list, scroll down the list, hold Shift and select the last one in the list - all Layers in the list are now highlighted...
OR try Ctrl+A ||perhaps Cmd+A ?
Similarly holding Ctrl [MAC Cmd?] allows you to select/deselect individual items in the list...

This is basic computer-dialog list manipulation 101...

Well obviously I'm a simpleton... thanks for taking the time to give the explanation.

Hi folks.

To select all layers:

• On PC: Ctrl-A

• On Mac: Cmd-A

Just ideas.

won't work because the window isn't focused, you can however 'drag the selection' then click a checkbox to apply to all...
