Question

Can I delete advanced actions en masse?

I have a file that has several hundred advanced actions.

Is there a way to delete the actions without going to the Advanced Actions dialog box and delete individually?

F9 only shows the frames with the actions assigned.

Thanks

Feeling your pain, had to delete about 600 advanced actions recently in a file, after having reduced them to about 10% by using shared actions and better logic. It was indeed still to be done individually. Another reason to adopt shared actions whenever possible: they show up in the Library and can be managed like any other asset in the Library.

BTW: I ended up to copy/paste to a new blank project, because some actions cannot be deleted even if they are not used anymore and I don't like clutter. Another reason for....shared actions.

F9 is just an information panel, it used to be editable long time ago, still regret that is no longer the case.
