Thanks Stefan, I believed it had something to do with the filter field too. And yes, in the past just clearing that field meant all would again become available to the select view. But not in this case. And no, the filter field was not showing when I took a selected part of the project and was dropping it into a level and everything else disappeared.
It is now just a report of an anomaly for the List. I doubt if i could recreate it. But having that filter field option (if it does have a bug) directly next to the "drop to a level" option in the RMB drop down list might be a risk (I still havent got used to using the compass menu on that one). The file is now discarded as useless. No loss to me at all. And thanks for thought on the current project. Probably the biggest thing I will have ever done by the time I'm through with it. Such fun and going so very well... The current cut on the first "episode" is the final (for now) and I am already modelling and rendering for the next.

I am not sure what you are after.. but if you just clear what is shown in the Filter field that is shown when you use Set Filter, by selecting all of it and just delete it then hit return ! Now everything in your prj should show up in the Select Window ! The odd thing though, if the Filter Field wasnt shown in the first place, it really shouldnt have something in it (new feature, Filter Field is only shown when needed, when it has something in it, and goes away from the GUI when you delete the string in the Field !) I hope any of this makes sense and is of any help.. btw.. looks like a great prj you are working on, will be nice to see more of the anim later on ! Keep up the good work !
