[Editor] 'Select All Scenes' checkbox in build settings

Okay, here's the thing. When you have a big project you sometimes want to make a quick build with independent scenes to test features, bugs, whatever. When that project has, say, over 50 scenes, if you want to make a build containing only one or two scenes, you are forced to manually deselect almost 50 checkboxes in the Build settings menu, one by one.

This is insanely slow and unintuitive. I think it's about time for Unity to include such a basic feature nowadays as a 'Select All' checkbox that would check/uncheck every scenes in the Build menu at once. I've made a quick mockup to show how it could look, and it would actually be very easy to fit in the current Editor design:





Sometimes little additions like this one help the users feel that a software is more intuitive and straight-forward. In case you guys think it is a good idea, I've created a Feedback ticket that you can support here:

What you can do is highlight all scenes (click on one then press Ctrl + A), then click on any one of the check-boxes. That will toggle them all on / off.

 

Really? I've tried holding Shift when selecting to no avail, but maybe I did it wrong. I'll definitely try that more intensely. The Ctrl+A shortcut is also welcome

Thanks guys!

 

P.S.: Hope that the new redesign of the Build Settings window includes the 'Select All' checkbox anyway to facilitate things

 

By the way, maybe I'm not getting it right, but neither Ctrl+A nor holding Shift are working for me on Windows 10... Don't know if I'm too stupid or what, but I can't get those keyboard shortcuts to work.

 

I'll try that again later, then. Currently in Windows Anniversary Update, maybe that's the key? It seems to have introduced quite a number of changes.

 

Okay, clicking on a scene first before worked, for both Ctrl+A and Shift Thanks!

 

Well, just found out about this request and would like to ask how is this progressing, since I haven't seen it mentioned in either the Roadmap or Unity Blog lately.

Is it still possible to see this change (or whichever Build Settings window redesign @shawn wrote about almost 3 years ago) implemented in the 2019.x cycle as suggested by the OP? It would definitely be a small albeit nice addition to speed things up inside that window.
