Move multiple text displayers
I have multiple text displayers all in the same spot and set to pin to screen. Only one will be visible at a time. I want to now copy these, which is easy and then move the second bunch to display at a different spot on the screen. Is there a way to move them all in one shot? I tried selecting all the gadgets, but it still only lets me move one at a time. This is extremely tedious (and inaccurate) as i have many, many. The only options i see are to either move them one at a time, or move one, then clone in spot, but then would need to re-do all the text. It's a lot for how many i have...

There's not, unfortunately. What I tend to do is have them "in-scene" inside a head tracker. (Or several inside one chip.) Then I can easily move them around however I wish to.

Yea, digging through the archives, i can see that this has been an issue for a while. So now, instead of something trivial that should be simple, i need to decide which is worse, retyping (without keyboard) all my text multiple times for better visual alignment, or moving them manually one by one. Hours of work for what should be seconds... Or maybe just rethink entirely what i am doing

Or make them in-scene. Is that not an option for you?
By the way, you can easily copy text. Select more than one text gadget, tweak the one with the text you want to copy. Edit the text, and submit it (R2). Now all selected text gadgets have that text set for them.

Not really an option unless i start over from the ground up....
But, if i understand correct, you can copy text from one gadget to the next with them staying in their differently placed locations? I knew you could clone whole gadgets, text and all, but you'd then have to move them... If true, while it will still be insanely tedious, maybe i only need to do them all again one more time instead of many, although im not sure thats any different than cloning and moving, over and over and over. I dont think youd believe me if i told you how many i have to do.... lol

Yes, it would only change the setting you changed. So in this case, only the text would change.
