Removing multiple items from inventory
dramamine:
I apologize in advance for creating a thread on my first post, but I've been lurking/searching for nearly three hours and can't find a thread involving my current annoyance.
Has anyone found a way to remove/sell multiple items from your inventory without repeatedly dragging/dropping/confirming the same item? ???
I have different types of food, several fish, many gems/space rocks/ore, and handfuls of seeds. Selling twenty-five ingots, thirty or so gems, and so forth is *really* time consuming. Do I really have to go to the appropriate store just to sell them all at once? If so, where do I sell/turn in the gems/space rocks/ore? I don't have an option at the science lab like I do with the bugs.
And one question partially related to my original 'problem', are there any uses for the gems/space rocks/ore besides profit? I know you can display them in your home, but that's not a really good purpose. Are there missions (besides the goals of the Collector indicated in the skill journal) or opportunities in which a specific gem cut in a certain fashion or a special space rock needs to be used to make something unique or to aid the scientific community?
I'm baffled as to why we have options to manipulate with these items and no real use for them besides making money. It makes hikes around the Valley less rewarding to know all you're doing is making money the hard way. :-\
BlueSoup:
Click on the darker blue triangle in the upper left of the thumbnail and drag it over to the sell icon. It'll sell the entire pile. As for space rocks, you could analyze them first because you can make more cash if they're discovered to be worth more than originally appraised. There's nothing really all that useful about the collection missions other than to complete the different challenges; if you don't want to, then don't.

You can try clicking the little flippy tab in the upper left corner, which SHOULD let you pick up all of them. As for confirming, the next edition of AwesomeMod will include an option for "Expert Mode", that banishes confirmation dialogs as I find them.

It's an RPG thing. Are you familiar with the concept of "Vendor Trash"?

Oh god dammit... I thought that was some designer way of displaying the items, much like a fancy background. I had no idea that there was a use for it. As you (awesome) folks put it, several meatspace days have elapsed with me avoiding selling anything leaving me with a very clogged inventory. Thank you guys, so much.
And Pescado, that would be a god send! I am waiting a while before I mod my game so I can see what features you'll be fixing and to know a 'remove confirmation' option/ability is coming makes me giddy. :)

I do analyze them before selling them, but I have run into a space rock being worth less after analyzing it. The challenges are what, I feel, keep me playing after I've reached my LTW and have not much else to do.

Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with vendor trash. I had just hoped that there was something really awesome awaiting my rock collection instead of a table top.
Gus Smedstad:
It took me a while to figure out those stupid triangles too. What's more, if you click on the triangle rather than drag it, it opens up a window with a list of all the items individually, so you can move items of a specific quality from a mixed-quality stack.
