How to apply selected media to all surfaces

Hello mapper!

I currently working on a mapping who is control by an OSC remote control witch I use for select the media (by name) and load on a simple quad (eventually going to be more complex).
So here my problem if the Quad 1 is select when I change media it's ok, but when I change the preset the Quad is no more selected (normal behaviour) but when I need to selected again nothing append so I was looking for the "apply_to_all_surface" function in OSC under /media/selected/ but the option is missing that intended?

So here the solution I have :

1. Create OSC control for all media with apply_to_all_surface option
2. Create preset for all media
3. Select each Quad and apply media to each by OSC (not sur if possible)

But there are a way to "apply_to_all_surface" with the selected media?

(I speak french if needed)

No it's not. Thanks for the feedback. We'll fix it in 3.0 beta 2 (out this week).

Another solution for now: create a root "Group" that contains all surfaces and assign a control to select this group "/surfaces/GroupName/select", then changing visual selection from control will assign it to all surfaces (since they're all inside the group)

Perfect timing for the update!
The workaround with group should also a good way to do it!

I would like more often work with quick support and continuous update like MadMapper.

Thanks a lot!
