[Feature request] Option to create new group in the Move to Group dialog

Can we get the option to create a new group from the Move to Group dialog?

I often work with preselected bodies and then it occurs to me that I still need to create a group. When I create a new group, my selection is deselected so I have to reselect and invoke the Move to Group command again. This could be fixed with the option to create a new group from within the dialog.

I would actually prefer to have a selection of elements, hit Ctrl + G, type the group name and hit done (or Enter). This is a standard in a lot of applications, but not in Fusion unfortunately.

 

E: Apparently, there is no way to sort Groups in the Browser, although the idea about this is marked as implemented...

Would be nice if the team could also add this.

This is a good idea.  I will add it to the list.  Thanks for taking the time to post it.

I added FUS-106571 for this issue.  Probably not super high priority, though, just to be honest.

 

I tend to create Selection Sets for selections that take a while to select, simply because I sometimes mistakenly click in open space, clearing the whole selection.  This can help, if you find yourself in that situation where you have stuff selected, but have not created the group.  Just create a quick selection set, create the group, then go back to Move to Group
