I wish folders could be coloured coded in GS, at the moment I have to scroll through a grey UI and pick out text or memorise the folder structure to quickly navigate to the type of folder, plan, layout, view, etc I want.

Why would they remove it?! it wasn't hurting anyone and made no improvement in the performance of the software, it slows me down and yeah I get the cmd+a but, i liked that buttons function for other layer functions? Please Fix the line type issue, the tool palette issue, the fact that only one person can work in profiles at a time first, then make "improvements" if they actually improve something. 

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the select all and deselect all options return.

There are a thousand ways to use Archicad, or any program for that matter.  I tend to agree with JDux, why remove it, it wasn't hurting anybody.  In fact, it helped users.  I think it should be noted that there are users of the program with all different levels of expertise.  The owner of my company doesn't know every last little thing in Archicad, he just knows just enough to get himself in trouble.  When I hear him say, why did they get rid of the "select all" and "deselect all" buttons in the layer dialog box, that's maybe something they shouldn't have messed with or taken out.  I showed him the alternate solution, ctrl-a, but he thought it was stupid and hopes that it will be put back in soon.  Meaning the next version...hint, hint...   All I'm saying is he's the one that pays for the program...  Just saying...
