How to select multiple files with Trackpad

I am new to Mac and to the Trackpad. I apologize if this has been posted.
When I work on a Windows PC, if I want to select multiple consecutive files I can click on the first file, press and hold SHIFT and then select the last file and all files in between are selected.
I tried that using the Trackpad and it doesn't seem to work the same way. Is there another key combination? I can select multiple files by either using SHIFT (on Picasa website for example) and then tap or by holding COMMAND and then tap each individual file. But how do I select multiple files similar to Windows, clicking first file pressing a key and clicking the last file.
Thanks in advance for any input on this.

If you choose 'view as list', you can use the shift-key. Select an item, press the shift-key while you press an item below and all the items between are selected.

Selecting Multiple Files With Shift Key

Am I right in understanding that the only way to select multiple files with the Shift key in Finder is by using File view? Seems kinda silly.
Thank you, Scott

I'm at my Snow Leopard machine right now, and I'm not sure that nothing was changed in Mavericks, but I never noticed that it was.
I have four view modes: Icon, List, Column and CoverFlow.
I almost always use Column view, but I am guessing that you are calling Icon view File view. In Icon view, Shift clicking seems to work the way Command clicking does in Column view (and probably the other views as well): it allows you to add randomly selected files to the selection. In Column view, Shift clicking works like it does for most things (like text selection); it selects every thing between the previous click and the Shift click.

Selecting multiple files with mouse now wonky

Using Windows 8.1 on HP machine
All updates up-to-date
Hardware: Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Explorer Folder Option selected: Single-click to open an item (point to select); Underline icon titles only when I point on them
Display: Detail list (Ctrl + Shift + 6)
No touch input
Here's the problem: For as long as I have used windows, I can select multiple files by pressing ctrl-left mouse button. If I want to select multiple consecutive files, I move my cursor down to the last file in the list and press shift-left mouse button.
If I want to select multiple files that are not listed consecutively, I move my cursor along the list of files and press ctrl-left mouse button to select each individual file.
This does not work for me any longer and I do not know why.
Often I will press ctrl-left mouse click and the file will not select. When I move my mouse away from the file I've selected, it will UN-select. If I continue to press the CTRL key while attempting to select another file and float my mouse cursor down the
list of files to select ONE single file further in the list, ALL the files in between the first file I click and the final file will become selected.
Moving the mouse cursor carefully and steadily to select individual files yields varied results; sometimes I can select individual files; sometimes, I can click multiple times to select an additional file and the file will not become selected. More often
than not, I will select several files and earlier files will become unselected.
Extremely frustrating.
I have been a Windows user since version 3.1 and this has never happened to me. I have been a Windows 8.1 user for over a year now and this is a new wrinkle. I have done system restore multiple times and it has not solved the problem. I have uninstalled
Intellipoint/Microsoft Keyboard & Mouse center and reinstalled and the problem has not solved. I have checked every setting for my mouse in the mouse center and cannot see a setting that imposes this feature.
Changing folder options to Double-click to open an item (single click to select) solves the problem. I am able to navigate and organize my files the way I always have. Only happens when single-click feature is enabled. Please note: I have been using the
single-click select feature since Windows XP.
Your guidance and actual solution to this irritant is appreciated.

Hi,
During my test, I cannot repro this issue even I configure the same setting with you. Maybe a hardware issue or software issue.
Does this issue happen to other mouse?
Can you test in safe mode to check how it works?

Does anyone know how to select multiple files in photoshop cs6 on macbook pro lion

I'm new to Mac operating system. Can anyone tell me how to select multiple images in cs6 photoshop? Without having to hold down a shift or cmd key and clicking on each one.

I assume you are using the Shape tool to draw your hexagons. After you drag out the shape, use the Transform controls to tweak the size, so that the width is evenly divisible by 4, and the height is an even number. If you wand a gap between shapes, include that in your adjustments. Make a note of the new width and height.
Once the scaling is committed and the shape is selected, Control+Alt+T to Free Transform Copy, and in the Option Bar, set the X and Y to Relative. Set X to zero, and Y to the height you set earlier, and commit the Transform. Then Repeatedly press Shift+Control+Alt+T to make more transformed copies.
With a vertical column of shapes, Alt-Click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel to select the whole path. Control+Alt+T again. This time, again using relative, set X to three-quarters of the width you noted earlier, and Y to one-half the height, and commit
Finally, again Alt-click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel, and Transform Copy relative with X = one and a half times the width you noted, and Y to zero. After committing this, Shift+Control+Alt+T as above to extend more columns.
And JJ, those are Octagons .

How to create multiple files with Receiver File Adapter in SAP PI 7.31 Java Stack

Dear Friends,
I am using Sender JDBC Adapter and Receiver File Adapter in Integration Flow in SAP PI 7.3 EHP 1 SP08 Java Stack environment. The requirement is that we need to create multiple files based on the row count in jdbc resultset. If there are 5 rows in resultset, we need to create 5 XML files with one row elements in one file. Similarly if there are 10 rows, we need to create 10 XML files.
So how can we create multiple files in this scenario. I tried placing a for loop in the Java Mapping as below in the transform method:
DynamicConfiguration conf = arg0.getDynamicConfiguration();
StringBuffer sbFileData = new StringBuffer();
for (int i =0; i < record.size(); i++ {
     . // Create XML for each row and Marshal the object into to the String Buffer
     String strFileName = "DC_" + new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyyHHmm").format(new java.util.Date())+"_"+i+".xml";
     conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, strFileName);
     arg1.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(sbFileData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
     arg1.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().flush();
So here I'm flushing the OutputStream for each record. But it's not creating the multiple file, instead it creates only one file will all record XMLs appended to each other.
Please let me know if I missing something or need to do some thing else.
Regards,
Shreyansh Shah

Hi
You can easily achieve this using graphical mapping. Create your target message type like below
MT_Target
Details 0 to 1
      Data 0 to 1
Source sample structure
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name>column-value</ column-name>
</row>
Then do the message mapping like below
map <row> with MT_Target
contant ----> Deatils
column-name ------>Data
In the signature tab of message mapping, choose the occurrence of your target message type as
0 to unbounded.
This will generate multiple files from multiple rows.
Let me know if you have any doubt.

How to send multiple files with it's original name over HTTPS using one CC?

I am working on a File to HTTPs scenario. It is in production and working fine. Currently we send only one file and I have hard coded the name in the communication channel in the header fields. Now we have to send more files with different names and I want to use only one receiver channel instead of many. We need to send the files with their original names.
I used the ASMA in the sender File Adapter and I see the FileName in the dynamic configuration under http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File name="FileName".
I know we can use a UDF in message mapping and get the value and put it in HEADERFIELDONE. But we don't want to use mapping as the files are huge and we don't want to insert XML tags in the payload.
So how do I put the Filename from the DynamicConfiguration to the HTTP header field as FileName without using mapping? Are there any settings?
Can I put something in the PROLOG or can I use any other module in the File Sender Adapter or is there any other option?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sai

See my blog:
/people/stefan.grube/blog/2009/06/19/unknown-use-case-of-dynamicconfigurationbean-store-file-name-to-jms-header-without-mapping
You have to put the configuration in sender channel, as HTTP adapter does not allow modules.
For the second module, put values related to HTTP adapter.

How to transcode multiple files with Encoder

I would like to use Adobe Encode to re-compress my video libary into a smaller file format.
The video files have different dimensions and different frame rates and I would like to preserve these parameters. I just want to compress the videos with a lower, common datarate.
However, in Adober Encoder I need to specify the frame rate and the dimensions for each separate file. Is there no easy way to just drag a bunch of video files into the Encoder and take all parameters from the source file except the ones I specify?
If not possible with Encoder, do you have any recommendation?

I think that Ann's solution of grouping files by their dimensions will work fine, though obviously, you will have a few sessions.
I can think of easy ways to go the other way around, where one would use many different formats/sizes and go to a common size, but not really the other way.

How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time? I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it. I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing. It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again. I would not buy another apple computer. I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease. Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program. If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it.
And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before. On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background. Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it. So disappointed in all of my devices! I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

This is some information on the Finder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
Hope you get used to it.

Read multiples files with same extension

how to read multiples files with same extension in java.

How is it done

- You create the filter

Multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?

Hi,
how to convert multiple selections to multiple layers or multiple files with one go ?

You may want to ask over at

or

I think there are Scripts about for the task or at least ones that could be adapted without too much problems.
The usual approach is, I think, creating a Work Path from a Selection and then using (expanded) Selections based on the individual subPathItems to intersect with the original selection.
Of course there are possibilities for bad results …

How do you select multiple files to drag

How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer. Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue. Drag it to the new folder.
If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A') individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.
Ciao.
