Hi.
Is there a way, other than clicking on every item one-by-one, to select a Container and all of its children?
For example (and the real world might involve much more complicated structures than this), the goal would be to turn this:
into this:
In particular, this would be the prelude to using Ctrl-G to make them all into a Group.

According to me if you put the containers under B in container B (drag and drop) they have become children of the parent B container ?
If you select B then, all childeren are selected too
There is no lasso tool to select separate containers.

Select All does this
Thanks. Alas, I'm afraid I need instruction here as to exactly how to make that happen.
For example, when I select box B above, and then do 'Select All' nothing happens here. None of the subordinate boxes get selected.

OK, so it seems I had a false impression that all those smaller containers under B above were B's children.
Q1. Given the above as already existing, Is there an operation that would make all those smaller containers under B above into B's children?
Q2. What is the "normal way" to create children as-you-go?
Thanks.
