“Collapse All” hotkeys don’t work with the new explorer, but works via context menu

kjhkhk

also being able to zoom in/out in the explorer, i.e same way as in script editor by changing text size, would be a great addition

Hi,

you mentioned a new drag and drop in the point 2:

“We’ve made it easier to drag objects in the explorer; simply hold the object at the top or bottom of the explorer window to automatically scroll the Explorer until you hit your drag target.”

Something neat would be the ability to rearange hierarchy by drag & drop between two object.
I alway end up having numbered objects in the wrong order inside groups or folders.

example here, 7, 6 and 9 are not following each other properly :

Thanks.

I love how this was improved from feedback!!
looks and works much better than it initially did, and I love it.
However one small thing that does affect my workflow alot, is having a few things such as “inserting objects” and “saving to roblox” being in a second dropdown… rather than just the regular one.

I use this alot when inserting special meshes and working on ugc items, please reconsider either changing this or giving users the option to disable sub-dropdowns.
I would be really happy if this changes!

edit:


Another thing I noticed while going around in my game, is that the scroll bar is still very bright, blending in with the background… would be nice having this much darker to be seen easier!

WHY ROBLOX WHY!!!

YOU GUYS KNOW WHEN THE UPDATE RELEASED, MY STUDIO HANGED ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEN I DID NOT SAVE MY WORLD, AND MY WORLD GOT REVERTED BACK!!!, AND WHEN I FORCE SHUT DOWN STUDIO, AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THERE WAS A NEW EXPLORER THERE!!!

wHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Why don’t you use the + button? I think it’s a lot faster

If it’s something you do often you can add a hotkey for it through the FILE > Advanced > Customize Shortcuts... menu

TBH, there is a thing that annoys me the most, is the option to expand hierarchy when selected is turned on by default. Turning it off sometimes still makes them behave like when it’s enabled

Plus, if my mouse is out from the explorer box, it would still expand hierarchy of items according to my mouse’s Y position

Feature from Blender, Resolution Scale. This would be nice to have. The ability to scale text. So, people with weaker sight are able to enlarge the text of the studio.

can you make CTRL + Z work with selection ?

I used it for five minutes and turned it off, what a mess it doesn’t even have a copy object name menu.

The blurriness of the text in the new explorer is definitely steering me away from using it – makes me dizzy even.

Where did the option to save something as a local plugin go?

I agree with this. This has been my biggest issue even with the old explorer. It seems to have been overlooked, but being able to press F2 to rename a selected instance (even without having the explorer focused) is much quicker than having to refocus the explorer AND THEN pressing F2! Not to mention, pressing the instance and renaming it is quite slow.
Bump!

The only reason I haven’t enabled this is because of the subtle highlight in explorer that it gives objects that you drag your mouse over in the viewport. I find that really annoying and distracting. Please add an option to disable that, or remove it all together because I really don’t see the point of it.

Right now because of this update I presume, Roblox Terrain does not work! I cannot place it, the only way I can is using Part to terrain plugin. @tnavarts

A huge annoyance is that pressing Tab while renaming things wont move down to the next instance, like in the old explorer, Ctrl+shift selection doesn’t work either

The only issue I currently noticed with new Explorer is that all Text is blurry. :smiling_face_with_tear:

For example Property window has good sharp text compared to blurry new Explorer. Not sure if it depends on screen resolution, but old Explorer had good text for me.

I just hope you will do some changes to text in next updates, because right now it hurts to read names and I will probably disable it for now. Also saw a few other people talk about blurry text so it’s not just me.

(Attached Screenshot, but not sure if it’s cleary visible here…)

It happened to me too, but it should give you an auto-recovery file warning when you open studio

The option to save something as a local plugin only appears when selecting a Folder or a Script, and it shows up in the Save/Export sub-menu.
