[FEAT] Set properties for all object in selection

[Mahakam20000]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is quite annoying when you drow a map to have to set properties (like "Blocks vision" "Block movement" etc.) one object at the time.

Describe the solution you'd like Select all the needed objects on the level with the "select" command, right click and set the same properties for all the objects in the selection.

Describe alternatives you've considered To add a way to set these properties before drowing something on the map (and make that choice permanent).

Additional context Advanced properties if one object is selected

No properties option if multiple objects are selected

As an aside, are you aware of the fow layer and its implications? (It automatically applies the movement/vision block settings to all shapes drawn there, they are however not visible on the normal layers so they are ideal for mapping walls on maps you have from other sources)

[Mahakam20000]

Thanks for replying so fast! Yes, I read the documentation, but I was so focussed on drawing something myself that I didn't think about import the map from another source.

[Kruptein]

The feature request is still valid, but for the time being you could use the little 'hacky workaround' that is, creating the walls/shapes on the fow layer and then move them all to the map layer.

[Kruptein]

that way you won't have to manually apply the settings on each and every shape.

Wow! Nice trick! Thank you! I discovered your software a fews days ago and I love it, yet!

This could be something that could be solved either as part of or explicitly parallel to grouping shapes (that we talk about, including but not limited to, in #280, #386, #520, and, at least in parts, in #487).

In #710, several modes to implement this were discussed:

• one could have a right-click context-menu to apply properties to all selected. I think this would actually be a good idea for bools, i.e. blocks movement/vision, is token/invisible/defeated. In this case, there should be a sub-menu containing all these under an entry called "apply properties" or something
• one could have a properties window. This is a more versatile tool, being able to process user input. However, there has to be some sort of warning if there are already different values (i.e. names etc.) saved to the objects. I'd expect UX similar to location settings and campaign defaults.

The more I think of it, I think it would nice to actually have both.
