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.

Can't select multiple items with shift key os 10.7

I can use command A to select all, and I can select multiple items with command and individually clicking each one, but not using Shift and clicking on the first and last items. Any ideas?

You need to display the window in column or list view. Shift-clicking items won't do that in icon view.

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?

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.

Can't select multiple layers with shift/ctrl in Photoshop CC

I honestly can't find a damn thing about this in google searches, other than one poor soul who had the problem on PS5 years ago and just reset their preferences to fix it. None of my more experienced artist co-workers have any idea either.. Well I've tried resetting prefs, restarting photoshop, rebooting PC, and finally reinstalling photoshop.
I'm on a corporate CC account with my own login, I got a photoshop update that happened yesterday, in the middle of all this. I was hoping that might fix it, but no. I tried signing out of the CC account and signing back in, still nothing. I"m out of ideas.
If I create a new PSD, and create multiple empty layers, I still can't multi-select the layers. I can only ever select a single layer at a time. What else can I possibly be missing?

Here it is, hopefully this doesn't reveal too much personal info!

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 ?
Thanks!

You may want to ask over at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
or
http://ps-scripts.com/bb/
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 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.

How to prompt user to select multiple files in file dialog using scripts

Hi, is there a way to allow user to select multiple files inside the file dialog using scripts? So not just something like "*.ai" or "*.eps" but where the user can actually use their shift key to select a batch of files inside the file dialog and then the script would process each one.
Thanks!

// Main Code [Execution of script begins here]
here's what I have so far. it would also be nice to not have illustrator stop at errors.. right now, it skips dialogs but on errors, it still stops.
// uncomment to suppress Illustrator warning dialogs
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
var destFolder, sourceFolder, files, fileType, sourceDoc, targetFile, pdfSaveOpts, folderName;
var fullPath = "";
var finalSlash;
// Select the source folder.
sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator .ai files you want to convert to PDF');
f = find_files(sourceFolder);
function find_files (dir)
    return find_files_sub (dir, []);
function find_files_sub (dir, array)
    var f = Folder (dir).getFiles ("*.*");
    for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
        if (f[i] instanceof Folder)
            find_files_sub (f[i], array);
        else
            if (f[i].name.slice (-3).toLowerCase() == ".ai"          || f[i].name.slice (-4).toLowerCase() == ".eps")
                    //convert the array-listing to a string so we can manipulate it
                    fullPath = String(f[i]);
                    //find the position of the last / to indicate where the filename starts
                    finalSlash = fullPath.lastIndexOf("/");

Command+click and drag to select multiple files

Hi everyone,
I switched about a year ago and recently joined this group. I love OS X and will never go back to windoze, however after recently upgrading to Tiger, I went to command+click and drag to select multiple files in order to drag them to the trash, all I succeeded in doing was to drop one file into the next folder down. Did I miss a check box somewhere, or something. It feels like windoze now, having to command+click individual files to select more than one, or use the edit menu to "select all".
I'm not going back to Panther just to get back this feature I miss, and was hoping there is a way to get it to work in Tiger, any suggestions?

You might find this easy to do in column view:
1. Select a group of contiguous files by clicking on the first, then hold down the shift key and click on the last one you want, all files between first and last will be selected.
2. To add an odd file here and there to the group hold down the command key and click on the file.
Thus you can quickly select an entire group in the middle with click/shift click, then add additional files individually to the selected group.

Can't select multiple files without them all opening.

I'm trying to move multiple files from another drive after having to have my HD replaced on a recall. Most every time I try to select the files I want to move, every one of them opens in its own window, as well as opening programs when different types of files are selected. I then have to close all the windows before I can move the files. This wasn't a problem before the HD was replaced and I can't figure out what is different this time.
I've tried selecting them by clicking on the first file and holding down the shift key and selecting the last one. This selects all of them, but also opens all of them. I then tried holding down the Command key and selecting them one at a time, Tedious, but still opens every one I click on. Have tried to use the mouse to draw a box around them, but this doesn't seem to work on the Mac.
This is Mac OS X 10.6.8
Please help before I go totally nuts. Nearly there now.
Thanks
Peg

@ vsai :
Do it properly man, I repeat,
Open gallery ---> swipe from down-----> tap on share option-----> and then select multiple files by touching them... and now tap share icon.
If you find difficulty let me know.

JFileChooser/Selecting multiple files

All,
I'm using the JFileChooser object in 1.4.1_02. Using the multiselection option, I'm allowed to select multiple files. However, when I scroll to the right in the JFileChooser dialog and select more files, the file chooser always returns to the beginning of the list. The files I selected to the right are chosen, but for me to select more files that are displayed to the right, then I need to rescroll back to the right. Is there a setting that I'm not doing? Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks,
Van Williams

From the Mac Help selection in the Finder's Help menu:
Selecting items</b?
In the Finder and other applications, you can select items in several ways.
1. Click to select a single item. Drag to select a group of items.
2. Press the Shift key and click other items to include them in the selection. Click a selected item to deselect it.
3. To select multiple items in a list that are not next to one another, press the Command key and click the items you want. Click a selected item again to deselect it.
To "copy" items rather than "move" them you can select the items then press COMMAND-C. Open the Finder window on the desired destination location and then press COMMAND-V to paste.

Super Basic, How do I select multiple files?

Super Basic, How do I select multiple files? I can click on one, but I want to select an entire group of files. On a PC I would use the control or shift keys, or just use the mouse to draw a box around them, but nothing seems to work.

It works here using the Shift key (after selecting the first item, hit Shift key while clicking on another). If you display your Finder windows as list or columns, it's extra easy: You click on the first item, then hit Shift and click on the last item - all of them will be selected.

Upload multiple files WITH correct pairs of form fields into Database

In my form page, I would like to allow 3 files upload and 3 corresponding text fields, so that the filename and text description can be saved in database table in correct pair. Like this:
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo1.jpg','happy day');
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo2.jpg','fire camp');
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo3.jpg','christmas night');
However, using the commons fileupload, http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/, I don't know how to reconstruct my codes so that I can acheieve this result.

How do you select multiple files at one time

How do you select multiple files at one time

Select one, and then either command-click another, or in list/column view, Shift-click the item at the other end of the range you want to select. Alternatively, click on a spot in the screen and drag the cursor until all the files are selected.
