is there a way to modify properties of multiple drawings at once ?

Currently i can select multiple drawings in the manage drawings window but if i wanted to change the dates on multiple drawings as an example, is there an efficient and easy way of doing it or do i have to manually go to properties of each and every drawing ?

It's already hard to locate drawings in the manage drawings window. Whats the point of that window if all it does is list all the drawings and just a few minor buttons? The purpose of a management window should be to provide some advanced drawing management tools for multiple drawings at once. Its great you have a delete button but what about other useful buttons? imagine having to manually delete all the drawings one by one. Same principle with properties, etc.

thanks.

There is not a way to do this.

OK. Is it because it's not possible to implement or just something that SC feels is not important or needed? Just want to understand the reasoning behind your response because it certainly would be useful to be able to do that, wouldn't you agree?

Please refer to this thread:
Notice: Suggestions (Currently not accepting)

We cannot be responding to your other threads and to most feature suggestions. Not out of disrespect. It is simply a matter of policy that applies to all users.

You should also be aware that a large amount of drawing tool development which has been done in Sierra Chart about three years ago, was funded by one particular user who had important need for that development. If you have important need for the development, then consider paying for the development.

Otherwise, either you will not see it done or not see it done for years from now.

Thanks. I'm aware of that policy and respect your time and priorities fully.

The other two threads were old threads from March and not new feature requests. I was just seeking an update on them after 6 months because SC mentioned some of the points in there would be considered and looked into. Haven't heard or seen anything about it since so the ball was in your court when the thread left off.

Interesting story. How does this model work with SC?

- I mean does the user retain usage rights for developments that are paid for or do the developments become standard features in the program available to all users even though a user paid SC for the development of certain tools and features?
- If user retains rights, is it only for a specific period of time? Does user have to pay regular licensing fees to retain those rights?
- If SC decides to make it available to everyone, does SC reimburse or buy back the rights?
- Is there written policy documentation available on this process?

just some valid questions that come to mind before entering into a contractual agreement.

The other point of all feature suggestions and requests is just for some of them to be heard and noted so that they can perhaps contribute to the betterment of SC as a robust, feature rich and user friendly program. Definitely not looking for all suggestions to be accepted or implemented straight away. That would be not be a reasonable expectation from users. Good ones can be noted and prioritized as SC sees fit and others discarded. That certainly is my view.

Keep up the good work.

We will get back to you on this. Just give us about another couple days.

Very briefly though development done for a user which actually becomes part of the software is billed at 50% of our cost. It is a one-time cost.

- I mean does the user retain usage rights for developments that are paid for or do the developments become standard features in the program available to all users even though a user paid SC for the development of certain tools and features?
No. What we do is we reduce the price of the development to 50% or less of the actual cost.

- If user retains rights, is it only for a specific period of time? Does user have to pay regular licensing fees to retain those rights?
No.

- If SC decides to make it available to everyone, does SC reimburse or buy back the rights?
No. It is made available to everyone. Keep in mind, if there is something that you really require and it is not something we would normally add or do any time soon, then there is going to be a price attached to it. Assuming we would be willing to work on it to begin with and it is not necessarily that we would or we would have the time.

- Is there written policy documentation available on this process?
No.

We also see your Sierra Chart account is not currently active and the last couple of payment attempts were rejected by your bank. In this case we recommend using PayPal. Sometimes some banks will reject payments to the particular payment processors we use and we cannot control that. They do that when certain security/fraud rules are met even though they are legitimate transactions. We do see an increase of this lately and it has been an annoyance. We will work with each user when this happens and offer an alternative.

If you require a usage time extension, we can do that until you have a chance to work out the payment issue.

Finally, if Sierra Chart does not meet your requirements, and paying for additional development is not reasonable for you, or we do not have time to do the development, it is far better that you use another program. Since it is not possible for us to keep up keep up with or be responding to numerous feature requests.
