Icons Inserted Play to end of Slide and can't control timing in Storyline 360
The title of my discussion pretty much says it all...I use icons a ton and they are the most frustrating things in SL360.
When I insert an icon it defaults to play to the end of the slide AND when you right click it in timeline there is no timing option meaning I then have to drag it all the way back through the timeline to where I want.
This is a complete time suck and something that is a very basic request the developers should fix.
What's also a problem is that this behavior happens on some icons but not all from the content library...meaning there is a mechanism for fixing this is just hasn't been applied to all icons.
What we really need is a way to specify on a per project basis (or even just global preferences) the default insertion timing for all media:
Text Boxes
Images
Icons
Shapes
Why is this still not done? Please make this a priority.

+1 for allowing icons to have configurable defaults.
I loathe doing any animations that are longer than 30 seconds because of this issue. Incredibly monotonous to have to drag over the timeline EVERY SINGLE TIME because it automatically shows until end.
I'd vote for adding the "Timing..." option to the icon (group) level, in addition to the current one on the icon's individual elements level. Thanks!
Hi Mengqiao!
Thanks for sharing the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Storyline!
I've included you in the feature report, and will update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap!
