This might be a common question but I couldn’t find a definitive answer. Apologies if this is already documented somewhere. Is it possible to make deleting actors in Outliner delete every single child actor under them by default?
I typically don’t need child actors to be preserved and reparented to the root of the scene when I delete the top level parent (in very rare cases where I do need to preserve something, I can just drag it before parent deletion), so having to use Shift+Ctrl+D to select everything before deletion just unnecessarily adds time in my case. I’m testing Dataprep and editor scripts so I constantly need to delete large generated hierarchies and that time really adds up.
I understand why this might not be a default (actors aren’t actually “inside” other actors, it’s not a rigid hierarchy like a drive folder), but it would be cool if an option to set the default exists. If not for time savings then for intuitive consistency with other contexts like Content Browser and Windows Explorer, where deletion of a parent implies deletion of all contents.
