I know you can delete items from your backpack however it takes a long time to right-click on every single item

A lot of people (including me) have a lot of things in their backpacks that they don't need/want there anymore.

I had the idea of adding a trash button and selecting items to the backpack.

Here's a mockup:

You'll see right here there's a trash button at the top of the backpack, and plus signs on the items.

How I thought this could work is basically if you click the trash button with nothing selected, it clears your backpack. But to prevent people accidentally clearing it there could be a pop up like -

Scratch.mit.edu says:

Are you sure you want to delete all items in your backpack?

Ok | Cancel

You can also drag things into the trash button the same way you drag things into a sprite, and it gets deleted from your backpack.

And with the selection tool - You click on the circle to select it, when you've selected the ones you want to delete you click the trash and it pops up again - this time a little different.

Scratch.mit.edu says:

Are you sure you want to delete <number> of items in your backpack?

Ok | Cancel

So that's my idea Please tell me what you think and/or ways that this feature could be even better.



Suggestions:

• @icecreamgrl Maybe instead of clicking tiny plus button signs in the corners of stuff in your backpack you could hover over them with your mouse instead and a bigger plus button would appear

• @PGBFLITE6373 Instead of a “Delete all” button it could be “Select all” , that way if you had 100 items, and wanted to delete 90, you could select all and un-select 10 instead of manually selecting 90.

It means that after you posted your post, you find that someone had already posted something similar. Read more on the wiki section about Ninja'd Posts.

Anyway, I support. Sometimes, you might have to backpack a lot of stuff, but then they just clutter up your backpack and it takes forever to delete them. This would be very useful for that.

You have to right-click and delete if you want to remove a backpack item
EDIT: I meant you have to right-click on the item that you want to delete and then select the option “delete”

I know?
Please read my original post again as you seem to have misunderstood it.

It also says at the top "I know you can delete items from your backpack however it takes a long time to right-click on every single item"

I really like this idea instead of holding every sprite and delete it support

Support because this will make an easier way to delete things in the backpack.

Bump (it's on the second page)

yeah this is a great idea!
