questions about 'markers'

[lowkey]

is there a way to show the markers of objects without having to hover the mouse over them? i think, sometimes it can get pretty hard to remember each markers position and having to hover across the whole document is really strange! ;)

another thing i'd love to know is how one can delete (unmark?) objects from a multi-markers-group! i tried to enter edit mode and unmark individual objects, which did not work at all.

and yes, i've already taken my tour through all the related zscript tutorials! :p

I also wish there was away to see em all the time as well.

In ZB 1.55b, the only way to unmark individual markers was to place any model using the marker you want to delete, then hit the unmark button (M-). Then you can just do a Cntl-Z to get rid of the model you just placed. It's easy and quick enough, and it's probably the same for Z2.

There is also a preference setting for the 'Marker Radius', which is in effect a radius from the cursor in which the markers will be highlighted. Increasing this makes it much easier to find markers, and then its not really an issue. Maybe there's a marker color setting as well? Gray on gray is hard to see.

To remove any existing marker, click ONCE on the marker to select it, then press Control M.

yes, i know, but what i am interested in is removing marked objects from a multi-marker-group!

Select some other tool, then delete the marker of the object you wish to remove from the group, then reselect the MultiMarker group and the deleted object will no longer be part of the group.
