Modification in duration of all activities

[TAHIR]

Can we modify duration of all activities in single click?

WARNING! If you have prepared your .fet file (especially after having added the constraints), this approach is not recommended.
You can export the activities into a .csv file. Then you can edit this file (for example with any spreadsheet application) and change the duration of the activities with a few clicks. Then you can delete the initial activities of your .fet file and import for the new .csv file the new ones.
I am afraid that most of the time, this approach is not very useful, since the user should add the constraints again...

It's means within fet we can't change duration with single click.

Thank you Vangelis

There is no such feature in FET, because nobody else until now needed this. I will add this in the TODO list.

You can edit your fet XML file with a simple search and replace for the duration and total duration.

hmm.. I think if such a feature will be added, then it should contain a filter like in modifying multiple min n day constraints. So like modify only activities with hour x or with subject x or only sub-activity x.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Volker, should I add also your words in the TODO? Or better modify a selection of activities?

[Volker Dirr]

Not sure. Maybe add both, so we can still think about which variant is better.

[Liviu Lalescu]

I added both.
