Allow multiple non-consecutive file selections

Hello
This was working like that in every file explorer since at least 16-bit Atari, so I'm not sure how to explain why I think it's necessary...
I would like to be able to select files 1-10 (1, Shift+10), then add files 40-50 (Ctrl+40, Ctrl+Shift+50) and have both ranges selected, then maybe to deselect 5-9 (Ctrl+5, Ctrl+Shift+9).
Why would I think this is viable request? Hmmm. Let's say that when this will work along with dragging and dropping files out of Lightroom, I will be closer to dump file explorer altogether when managing my files.
Thank You
m.

Sorry for not being clear. Yes I meant '50' as image no. 50.
So just to understand you better: on the Mac you can already select multiple non-contiguous image selections?
On Windows in 1.0 and 1.1 you can select one range of images (with Shift) and then add/substract individual images to/from it (with Ctrl). You cannot add/substract another range of images, though (with Ctrl+Shift). That is exactly the functionality I'm requesting. If that is what's possible on the Mac at the moment, we are closer to getting it on Windows.
Regards
m.

Select non-consecutive files using keyboard

Hi - I am trying to select several files in Finder using keyboard only. Sort of thing you would do with the CTRL key in Windows. I want to select several songs to open in my iTunes, but not all of them. And the songs are not listed one after another. I don't want to use the mousepad as it tends to open one of the selected file if I press the mousepad a tad too long. I just want to quickly scroll with arrow keys and mark the ones I want to select with another key. How can this not be possible on OS X?

Thanks, it's just not helpful. Sometimes you happen to accidentally double-click, epsecially when you are selecting a large number of files. The problem here was that I was trying to select songs from my folder to open in iTunes so that I would transfer them to my iPhone afterwards in one go. The moment I would accidentally double-click wth the trackpad, the entire selection that I had made would open in iTunes and start playing, which meant that I would have to switch to iTunes and press pause. I did not want to put the computer on silence because I had some other music playing on YouTube at the same time. Overall, it's a disturbance. If someone at Apple were smarter, they would have allowed for a simle selection of non-consecutive files by keyboard, as Windows does it. Scrolling and selecting with the trackpad is not very convenient in this case, because you have to use the trackpad and the keyboard (CMD) at the same time. In a situation like this, a user should be able to perform this operation with keyboard only, simply because it is more convenient that way. If Windows with its operating system has been allowing to do this for ages, Apple with its ambition to be smarter and easier than PC should have been able to tackle this problem long time ago.

Make sure one specific item is always selected in a slicer, whilst allowing multiple others to be selected also

Hypothetically, lets say the items in my slicer are "conforming" "scratched" "dented" "broken" (and many more).
I have a slicer connected to a pivot chart that relies on "conforming" always being selected, along with one of the defects.
Is there any way to force the slicer to always have "conforming" selected, whilst allowing the user to select an additional item (or more)?
Thanks in advance!

Single Class Split Over multiple non-consecutive Days??

How do I setup in OLM a class split over multiple days for Example:
I have a Diversity Awareness Course and Offering. The Class is 2 days long, but not on consecutive days, they are a week apart.
Do I create a Day1 Class and Day2 class under the same course and make it a prerequisite to attend day 1?
From a reporting point of view this now shows as 2 classes when it is only 1; inflating the class figures.
Or Can I split it into 2 sessions under the same class?
What is the best way to do this?

Hi!
You can create a Class with two Sessions underneath it (one for each day). Make the Start Date for the Class the day the Class begins and set the End Date to correspond to the last day. Your Duration should be set to 2 Days. Learners will be able to view details for each session, and you can assign different instructors and rooms for each day if you use Resource Bookings in OLM.

Allow multiple selections in 2nd box of cf_TwoSelectsRelated

Greetings. I'm very new to ColdFusion, so I apologize if this
seems like a no-brainer.
I've successfully used cf_TwoSelectsRelated to add related
selects to a form. I'm able to have a user select a school, and
have the second select box retrieve only the teachers that are from
that school. Now I'd like to allow multiple teachers to be selected
from the second list (to register for a workshop) and have them all
be inserted in my registration table as individual records.
I think I can figure out the second part of my task (insert
them as individual records) based on
Dan
Bracuk's answer to a query back in February. However, for the
first part (allow multiple selections in the second select list)
I'm not sure whether to:
a) try to edit the cf_TwoSelectsRelated custom tag (I think I
would need to know some JavaScript for that? yipe!)
or
b) do something to my existing code to allow the second
select to have multiple selections (but doesn't cf_select just
require that you specify in the attributes "multiple="true"? which
means I will probably need to edit the cf_TwoSelectsRelated custom
tag (back to *yipe*!)
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've attached
cf_TwoSelectsRelated. Please let me know if you need me to supply
my code.
Thanks very much in advance.
Marianne

Dear Dan,
Thanks for this! Well, I went ahead and kept trying to figure
it out while I waited - I found and took a look at
cf_ThreeSelectsRelated and the third select box did indeed have a
"multiple" attribute - so I borrowed it and edited the
cf_TwoSelectsRelated (as attached - just added one line to the
attributes list and added one cfif to the cfoutput for the 2nd
select box), called it in the attributes of the
cf_TwoSelectsRelated tag call in my "add attendees" page - and it
seems to work great! No messing about with scary javascript needed.
*whew*
Now I just have to edit the code to allow it to insert each
set of id's as an individual record... but I think I can handle
that :)
Hopefully this will help someone who's wondering if this will
work. I couldn't find any reference to it anywhere!

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document. I can highlight in thumbnails but only extract consecutive.

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document?
I see its easy to do it with consecutive pages by highlighting thumbnails then 'extract' but this does not allow for non consecutive pages.
Thank you

After highlighting the pages you can drag them and drop them somewhere,
like on the desktop, and a new file will be created with just those pages.
If highlighting the pages is not feasible, or too tricky to do, then a
script can be used where you specify which pages to extract and the script
extract them to a new file.

How can I allow multiple file selections ?

I used FileReference's browse function,
But it's only can select one file at the same time.
How can I allow multiple file selections ?
Thanks a lot.

You need a FileReferenceList object instead. See the Help for
FileReferenceList, it has good examples.

Select non-consecutive days in Calendar input

Hi Experts,
I designed a form in WD and have a requirement, where I need to show up a calendar display of months in which an user should be allowed to select only non-consecutive days from it.
Also I need to get all those selected days at run-time.
Is it possible?? I know that calendar is a standard input of date UI element and totally confused as how I can restrict an user to select only non-consecutive days.
Please clarify and help me in this.
BR,
RAM.

Hi RAM,
Unfortunately, with the date navigator ui element, we cannot select multiple dates except the date ranges.
Work around solution:
I suggest you to go for row repeater, in which you can place date navigator ui element and user can add multiple rows: also you he can input dates by selecting single dates.
Here you can also restrict the user to select only non-consecutive dates.
Pls refer the wiki for an example:
steps to create row repeater ui element - Web Dynpro ABAP - SCN Wiki
Try to convince the user with this or you can also for a table with single row.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Rama

Batch rename files that have non consecutive numbers?

I have a folder with about 100 image files that have non consecutive numbers. Is there a way to rename them all to add something after the numbers (and before file type extension) without changing the numbers?
Example: If I select 111019.003.dng and 111019.007.dng, is there a way to batch rename to 111019.003_tk.dng and 111019.007_tk.dng?
Of course, simply batch renaming w/ a sequence number would change them to 111019.003_tk.dng and 111019.004_tk.dng. Which is no good.
I realize the easiest way around this is to name them correctly the first time, but I am not the photographer.
Hope this makes sense, and thanks.

What is the method for folder-browsing and selecting a non media file type in Android? [Air+AS3]

Dear Gurus,

Someone did mention some possible solutions through ANE but it is just too far beyond. Even, the closest on-the-shelf solution of ANE by http://myappsnippet.com/file-browser-air-extension/ only work best to an extent and not truely "native" as the UI is not default from Android. It has workable I/O but poor usability; you can't skin it.
Is there any other workaround solution to this general I/O question? I would love to hear from everyone here.

The short answer to my knowledge is there is nothing you can invoke from AIR to open an OS-level dialog to browse/select a file. All implementations typically are people writing their own browser. They crawl the folders/files recursively and write their own display for the files. You can see a few on SO:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12255418/as3-air-browse-for-file-on-sd-card
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12257626/as3-get-zip-file-on-phone-from-app-file-path-t hen-unzip
It's not to terribly hard to code something like this (especially with that starter code). Otherwise, like you found, an on-the-shelf ANE is the only way I believe you can invoke the Android Intent for a file dialog. At that point skinning won't really be terribly easy given the nature of Android users who are completely allowed to customize their UI top to bottom.
The safest bet is just let that posted code recurse and find the files you tell it to while displaying the list to the user. You can use some pre-written GPU-level lists that you can skin yourself using FeathersUI:
http://www.feathersui.com (uses Starling)
Or you can use one of the Flash Pro List components which will be quite a bit slower being they're not GPU optimized like some Flex Spark components.

How do I select multiple, non-adjacent, cells in Numbers?

I have a spreadsheet that I need to select multiple non-adjacent cells for the purposes of highlighting them and I can't figure out how to do it. The Excel equivilant would be highlight a cell and then click he desired cell while pressing cmd. This does not work nor do fn, ctrl or option. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

K
It's apparently one of those many things that haven't been implemented in the iCloud beta. You'll be able to make that type of multiple selection if you spring for the OSX version of Numbers.

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1. If you select single file, then it is able to return file size correctly. However, if you select multiple files, then the file size of each of the selected file is always returned as 0 from javascript. This works correctly in Safari 4.0 but it does not work in Safari 5.1.
How do I get the correct file size in Safari 5.1 ?

If you want to post (or send me) a link to the lrcat file, I'd take a look at it for you, and give you a break-down what's consuming all the bytes. But it might be fun to learn how to do that yourself (e.g. using SQL). I use SQLiteSpy, but other people have their favorites.. (or you can use a command-line client if you prefer..). One way: just run "drop table "{table-name}" on each table then look at filesize (do this to a copy, not the real thing).
Anyway, it's hard to imagine keywords and captions etc. taking much of the space, since even if you had 1000 10-character words of text metadata per photo average that still only adds up to 117MB, which isn't a substantial portion of that 8G you're seeing occupied.
Anyway, if you've painted the heck out of most of them and not cleared dev history, that'll do it - that's where I'd put my money too...
One thing to consider to keep file-size down:
===================================
* After reaching a milestone in your editing, take a snapshot then clear edit history, or the top part of it anyway (e.g. leave the import step), using a preset like:
Clear Edit History.lrtemplate
s = {
    id = "E36E8CB3-B52B-41AC-8FA9-1989FAFD5223",
    internalName = "No Edit",
    title = "Clear Edit History",
    type = "Develop",
    value = {
        settings = {
            NoEdit = true,
        uuid = "34402820-B470-4D5B-9369-0502F2176B7F",
    version = 0,
(that's my most frequently used preset, by far ;-})
PS - I've written a plugin called DevHistoryEditor, which can auto-consolidate steps and reduce catalog size - it's a bit cumbersome to use a.t.m. but in case you're interested...

By default when you create new instance og JTree the selection model is multiple selection. And if you want to change it you use next:
tee.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION);
or
tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
or
tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
