Bulk Delete Images Not Working?

1453959544

Edited 1453959578
I have about 80 images in my library I want to delete.  I perform a search that finds them all, choose "select all" to select them all, and then click on delete.  The system waits a few seconds and then shows a blank search result screen, indicating the files were deleted.  When I return to my library, however, the files are still listed. Does bulk delete actually work?
I just noticed something:  I think the issue is that when I choose the "select all" option....it is not selecting all images in teh search results.  Only the first ~9.   So the question is: why is it not selecting all images?  What can I do to avoid this in the future?  Thanks!

The image library is somewhat less than optimal at the moment. In my experience trying to affect more than 30~ images at once is recipe for disappointment. The good news is that the devs are aware of the failings in that area and are keen to improve on it in the near future, hang in there: Steve K. said: Art library management is something that's important to the Roll20 Dev team. It's something we consider a priority, however the API infrastructure has to come first, which will be the focus of our next update. I'm hoping the marketplace and art library management comes shortly after that.

Thanks for the reply.  I agree that the UI (here and in other areas) needs a bunch of work.  (E.g., No two-sided tokens?  Still?  Really?)   Little stuff like this piles up and becomes a barrier to adoption.  Please focus on making it easier for new players to get into Roll20, not on your API.  An API has nothing to do with what, if it is not it should be, the core focus of your product:  Easy Remote Tabletop Gaming.   Otherwise you will have a bunch of people who experience a bunch of bad/clunky UI stuff and think "Roll20...nice idea but crappy implementation." Once that thought gets into people's heads, it stays there and they don't come back, even 1-2 years later after you have fixed the issues.  And there are too many competitors (some of them FREE, like Vassal) that are nipping at your heals (pun intended and relished.) Just in the assets section, alone, we have no sorting of assets alphabetically; no effective bulk delete; and when you drag image assets into your map, they come in with the wrong aspect ratio.  And that's just the issues I ran into yesterday that I decided to post about here.   Come on, guys.  I, and many other people, have been a paying pro member for a long time and it is time this stuff gets fixed.  I have been giving you money even though I haven't used you because I wanted to support teh idea of Roll20.  Time to fix this stuff.
Hi  Graham M. - thank you for your feedback. As Z noted from Dev Steve, this is something that is very important to Roll20 and we are going to be making it a primary focus of one of our updates this year. Since your original question has been resolved, I will close this thread. All the best!
