Bulk actions for assets, and uploads of several files at once

Changing the schedule of 40 assets used to mean opening "Edit asset" 40 times, and people have asked on the forum for a way around that for years. From Anthias 2026.07.0, every row on the home page has a checkbox, and the header of each list, "Enabled" and "Inactive", has one that selects the whole list. Once something is selected, a bar shows how many assets you picked, with these actions:

  • "Enable" and "Disable" move the selected assets between the 2 lists.
  • "Edit" changes the schedule of all of them at once.
  • "Delete" removes them all. Deleting can't be undone.

Editing a selection

The "Edit" dialog has 4 groups of settings, each with its own switch: "Start & end dates", "Duration", "Play from / until times" and "Days of week". Only the groups you switch on are changed. Everything else stays as it is on each asset, so changing the duration of 12 assets leaves their dates alone. "No cache" and "Skip asset check" joined the dialog in Anthias 2026.07.2.

Duration doesn't apply to videos, which keep their own length. Switching on "Play from / until times" and leaving both times empty removes the time window, so the assets play all day.

Uploading several files at once

In Add asset > Upload file you can pick several files again, as you could before the web interface was redesigned in Anthias 2026.05.0, or drop them on the upload area. They upload one after another, and the dialog shows which file it's on, such as "File 2 of 5", along with the progress of the current one.
