Selecting multiple thumbnails weirdness

Windows 7 64
Bridge 5.02.4 x64
Cache is not exported to folders
When I want to select multiple thumbnails, I hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired thumbnails. Only the first 2 or 3 thumbnails change state, yet they all show in the preview window on the right. When I release the Ctrl key they all change state to show that they are selected. So if selecting many, I don't know which I have selected until I release the Ctrl key.
Selecting with the shift key works as expected.
I have reset preferences and it seems to work normally only once or twice. Same with purging cache. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge but the problem keeps coming back. It is somewhat intermittent as once in a while I can select 5 or 6 and they will all highlight, but 95+% of the time it works as described above.
Keyboard, graphics, etc., drivers are at latest level.
Any ideas? Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for the ideas, Yammer.
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6570
                Memory              1024 MB
                Memory type    2
                Driver version    13.152.1.8000
Haven’t changed anything other than turn on GPU in Photoshop.
Thumbnail size: Acts the same way no matter the thumbnail size. Selected the same files in Windows Explorer and it worked as it should.
Scroll: Tried all the options, no difference.
Fancy Keyboard/rodent: No. Logitech USB wireless KB and Mouse, Wacom tablet, all with latest drivers.
Accessibility: Nothing turned on there.
These were great suggestions! Keep thinking J

Cannot select multiple thumbnails in Pages Navigation Panel in 9.4.5

I've installed the latest Acrobat Pro version for Mac, 9.4.5, on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. In both cases, I no longer can select multiple thumbnails of pages in the Navigation Panel's Pages panel. Anyone know a fix for this?

Control-click doesn't select multiple thumbnails?

Two of our workstations have recently lost the ability to control-click to select multiple thumbnails. Control-click works in other applications, including Windows Explorer, but control-clicking in the thumbnails pane in Acrobat simply selects the next thumbnail - it doesn't add to the current selection as it used to.
These workstations are running Acrobat Pro 9.4.5. They are fully updated. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much. I did do a forum search but didn't find this. I appreciate you sending me in the right direction.

Update to Acrobat 9.4.5 breaks selecting multiple document thumbnails

After this update we can no longer select multiple document thumbnails with ctrl + right mouse click in the Pages view. Our workaround is to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 9 without any updates.

Selecting multiple pages from menu (thumbnails)

I installed the lasted Acrobat 9 Standard (9.4.5) update (6/19/2011) and since then, I have been unable to select a group of pages within the Pages menu (thumbnails) to move, delete and do some other operations. I have always been able to do this. Now, neither holding the shift key nor holding the Ctrl key allows me to select multiple pages to do anything as a group. I have to hold shift key, drag and drop and even though I do that, the results are not the same as it was before.
Did something change with the update? Or perhaps a particular setting was altered with the update? Any thoughts?I
Help needed!

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team. They are hard a work adding a fix to be included in the next update. There is no time frame for this patch to be released.
In the meantime if you are trying to manipulate contiguous pages you can drag the blue box around the pages and perform any action on the pages within the blue selection area. Of course this will not help to choose pages that are not nearby to each other.

Cannot select multiple images in iPhoto '08?

What am I doing wrong? I want to select multiple images to either print several on a page, or publish to a gallery, but for the life of me I cannot find a view which shows me all photo thumbnails or all thumbnails in an album or all in an event. I can spin the mousewheel to singly go through them, or I can hit edit and go to full screen where I get a thumbnail bar and can select multiples and view them at the same time, but printing or publishing this selection only recognizes the first photo as selected. If I try to select View>Thumbnails, the subsequent menu options are grayed out, and the top one is "hide" even though I see no thumbnail bar. Is there something very obvious I'm missing, or has something gone awry and I should reinstall?
<Edited by Host>
Any one can help them?
Thanks

There's a slider down right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.

How to select multiple clips???

I am a very avid iMovie user and now this new version has me so confused. I have the basics down, but I can't figure out how to select all clips and dump them into the "timeline" area. I can select them one at a time and place them in the assembly area but that takes forever on a one hour soccer game. Anyone figure out how to select multiple clips or all clips at once?
Thanks ahead of time.

Weird seeing this question today after I dealt with this yesterday. I did a movie yesterday that was multiple clips. I was able to select all clips at once and drag the entire thing up to the top window. I just tried to do the same thing again after reading this question and for the life of me, it will no longer allow me to click and drag to select them all. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that all 10 or so clips I was able to highlight before, were all parts of the same clip when filmed (they were split into individual segments when imported). When I try to combine two clips that are not filmed sequentially, it will no longer allow it. The help menu says nothing about this. All it says is you need to click on the first clip and hold the mouse down and drag it to the end and it will select all. That is not working.

To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

Can I somehow let the user select multiple images from device?

Is there any way to let the user select multiple images from the device media gallery?
The CameraRoll only selects one image. And the FileRefernceList doesn't show thumbnails (so you have no idea what you are selecting).
Is there a way, or maybe some sort of workaround, for this? Is there a way to maybe "read" the users gallery on the SD-card and output your own gallery that the user can select from?
I'm developing towards both Android and iOS so cross-plattform is a must.
Thank you guys

+1 to this question. I'm looking to do the same thing but haven't had any luck yet.

Can't select multiple slices at a time

Hello,
I'm having a bit of a technical problem. I have used my slice tool several times before with no problems whatsoever. However, I recently ran into a weird problem with my slice tool. After I slice an image up using the slice tool, I am no longer able to select mutliple slices at the same time. When I select one slice, and hold down the shift key to select another slice, the other slice is just selected alone. I reinstalled Photoshop and I also reverted back to the default settings; all to no avail. I'm currently using Photoshop 7.0.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If i remember right, in photoshop 7, you can only select multiple slices
using the save for web function in photoshop 7 or in Image Ready.
I don't remember be able to select multiple slices in photoshop 7 proper
outside the save for web dialog.

Best approach to select multiple/all photos from the iOS CameraRoll?

I want to use FlashBuilder 4.5.1 to build a flex mobile photo organizer project that lets me select multiple photos from the iPhone Camera Roll.
I've seen the flash.media.CameraRoll class, but it only seems to provide CameraRoll.browseForImage() that opens a dialog to pick ONE photo.
Has anyone built an app that lets users select multiple photos or select all from the CameraRoll? Can you access the embedded thumbnail DB or do you have to import all the photos into the ApplicationStorageDirectory first? Am I better off writing a native iOS application?
Does flex mobile allow something like this:
// is this a security violation?
var cameraRoll:File = new File('/var/mobile/Media/DCIM');
var photos:Array = [];
var folders:Array = cameraRoll.getDirectoryListing();
for (var i:int=0 ; i<folders.length; i++) {
    var files:Array = folders[i].getDirectoryListing();
    for (var j:int=0 ; j<files.length; j++) {
        var photo:File = files[j];
        photos.push(photo);
// show photos, somehow...
However, this method does not provide access to thumbnails managed by: '/var/mobile/User/Media/Photos/Photo Database'
from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6936881/how-do-you-access-the-ios-camera-roll-from-a-fl ex-mobile-project

I paid someone to write a Native iOS app that works ok, but it's hard for me to extend. The "select multiple/all" photos component works fine, but loading the photos into the app sandbox is VERY SLOW, and not properly threaded.
I would like to move my dev to FlexMobile and am willing to contribute my current code if someone wants to take a hack at it. Please feel free to fork https://github.com/mixersoft/odesk-11563930
I'd help, but I only know scripting languages.

Selecting Multiple Images

Recently something strange started happening ...
When I select multiple images there used to be a white line around everyone selected and a bolder white line around what I call the primary ...
Ok, so now, when I select multiple, eg 100, images and try to apply a keyword to them all, it only applies it to one ... the others no longer have the thin white border that denotes selected, only the primary gets the action to ... this also applies to ratings but not to deletes or moves ... in the thumbnail area both white borders are there ... what did I change ???
thanks in adavance as this has frustrated me for a little while now ... and culminated with me wanting to apply the same change to 3K images ...

Easy answer--I hope. This has hit a bunch of us at one time or another.
Here's my educated guess: "Primary Only" got selected somehow. There's three ways I know of this could have happened:
1. The command-key is simply "s". Therefore it's easy to toggle it and not know it.
2. The icon is the bottom left set of five, the fifth icon. That also toggles it.
3. Under the "Edit" menu it's "Toggle Primary Only"
Use any of those methods to toggle it back off and see if the problem clears up! I hope so...it stumped me for awhile also...
FWIW, "Primary Only" is a mode that applies keyword and other changes to only the primary selection, even if a bunch are selected. The primary is the selected item with the thickest white line around it.

How to see full size images when selecting multiple photos

In the Photos app, I click to view a photo and it shows up full screen like it used to. But now when I try to select multiple photos to upload to an email by hitting the send-to button at the lower left, suddenly all the photos are thumbnails at the top and a host of options fill the screen where the full-sized image used to be. Without full size previews I can't tell what photos in a series are really the better ones. Is there a way in iOS 8.1.1 to flip through your photos full screen and only select a few? It seems like this worked before but now this function has been removed? Thanks

Thanks for your answer. I think you are correct.
I did discover that when entering the first letter of a keyword in the box, a list comes up with suggestions. Frequently that list is only of the keywords that begin with the letter I entered. Once in a while I can get the entire list but I don't know how I do it. It seems intermittent but I suspect it is not. Any idea how that happens? Thanks again.

Rotating Multiple Thumbnails in Finder

I'm a convert from Windows and looking for a way to rotate multiple thumbnail images in Finder. I have the .JPGs all hilited and have the urge to just right-click and rotate CCW, like I can do in Windows Explorer. Can a MAC user out there help me out. Thanks.

There are a few options:
1) you can get a small preview of individual files by using the column view;
2) right-clicking and choosing 'Slideshow' will make a full-screen slideshow of your selection;
3) you can use a third party application such as GraphicConverter that provides a browser for graphics files.

Selecting Multiple Folders in PSE 9 (W7 64bit)

I previously had PSE 6, running on XP SP3. I could select multiple folders and filtering typically included all of my pictures in all directories, not just for the current folder. Now, I can't select but a single folder and when I search, I can only see the results for the folder I select: a single one. Is this a "new" feature of PSE 9 or am I missing something?

Yes, Folder Location view now mirrors the OS.
Use thumbnail view to search the whole catalog. Use the time line slider in folder view (Ctrl+L) to scroll down all your managed folders.
