Shift-click File Selection Broken

Hello,
I know this is a small issue, but it has become an annoyance.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my shift-click adjacent file selection method has not been fuctioning.  It behaves exactly like the Cmd-click selection method and does not select all intermediate adjacent files.
Any thoughts?
2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MBP running OSX 10.8.

Are you saying that you can not make a range selection by clicking the first item, holding shift and then clicking the last item? Does it work if you click the first item, hold down shift and use the arrow keys to select?

  • Why do you need to shift click to select stroke color with eyedropper tool?

    Hi,
    Quick question..
    Why do you need to shift click to select the stroke color with the eyedropper tool?
    I had the problem where I could not do this earlier and found the solution on this forum.
    However I still do not understand the reason for this.
    Appreciate if anyone could explain it to me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nori

    Hi, Nori,
    If you have the red and blue rectangle selected and the Fill square selected in the tool panel, as at bottom left, then hold the shift key down and click with the eyedropper on the green stroke in the upper rectangle, then the red fill will turn green but the stroke stays blue. If you select Stroke, as at bottom right, then shift-click with the eyedropper on the green stroke, the blue stroke will turn green but the fill stays red. With Fill selected and shift-click on the yellow fill, the red fill turns yellow; with Stroke selected the blue stroke turns yellow. If you do not depress the shift key, the red and blue rectangle will become yellow and green.
    It's complicated to explain, but I think that if you try it step by step it will make sense to you.

  • Shift+Click to Select Layer is moving layer across workspace

    Hello everyone.
    When I Shift+click to select a layer, this layer moves and continues to move across the stage with each shift+click?
    Weird!
    Anyone ever have a similar issue or any suggestions?
    Thanks hardlee

    No the layer object starts moving across the stage.
    I hook up my laptop to my office monitor and use usb keyboard and mouse while at office.  It happens in this scenario and also happens when out of the office using my laptop touch pad.  Shift plus LeftClick and the layer starts moving, sometimes it will move clear off the main stage in to the greyed out area around the graph.
    Again  weird...

  • Why does SHIFT+CLICK to select/append selection in STP work *so badly*?

    This drives me absolutely crazy. It's the one thing one needs to do in this application and it works appallingly.
    I have an area selected of my waveform. I want to add a little more from along the timeline, or trim the selection a bit. I hit SHIFT+CLICK and drag out the selection, and it usually deselects what I've painstakingly selected.
    Are there any ways of actually making this work? Can't believe it ships like this!!!!!

    no one?

  • Undesired Shift+Click behavior, multi select in datagrid

    I found an example in the Adobe help files that I have tried to implement, but it doesn't work the same for me as it does in the example. Maybe because the data is hard coded. My datagrid is loaded from sqlite table.
    When I use Shift+click to select multiple items in the list, the first item selected appears twice. I sort of understand why that happens, but why is it acting different in my code vs. Adobe's code, and how can I avoid this behavior?
    My code is exactly the same except I'm using a dataGrid and not a list, and that I had to add ".title" after the selItems[i] in order for it to not show [object Object] in the text area control, Adobe's example didn't require that. What's different there? I'm using Spark controls.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WSc2368ca491e3ff923c946c5112135c8ee9e-7fff.html     scroll to the discussion on "Handling multiple selection in the Spark List control".
    my code:
    import spark.events.GridSelectionEvent;
    ... functions to initialize database, execute sqlstatement, assign data to the grid are omitted
    protected function myDG_selectionChangeHandler(event:GridSelectionEvent):void
    var selIndices:Vector.<int> = event.currentTarget.selectedIndices;
    var selItems:Vector.<Object> = event.currentTarget.selectedItems;
    var numItems:Number = selIndices.length;
    for (var i:Number = 0; i<numItems; i++)
    selectedItemsTA.text = selectedItemsTA.text + selItems[i].title + "\n";

    Okay, you said reset the string at the top of the code. That works. I'm trying to learn the nuances here.
    What if my code changed one line.
    From: selectedItemsTA.text = selectedItemsTA.text + selItems[i].title + "\n";
    To: selectedItemsList.dataProvider.addItem(selItems[i]);
    <s:List id="selectedItemsList"
                                  x="309" y="184"
                                  height="200"
                                  width="228"
                                  dataProvider="{listDP}"
                                  labelField="title"/>
    because the same problem occurs when adding items to the list.
    Thanks

  • Does awt FileDialog allows multiple file selection?

    i m trying to select multiple files using FileDialog, but it does not allow me? why? is it possible to select multiple files using FileDialog?

    Something you might want to try. Turn off the auto download. Put your card into the reader. Library Module, click on Import. Select Choose Files rather than the card drive itself. Now you have a navagatable window from which you may use to view thumbnails or names. Use the traditional CTRL + Click, or Shift + Click to select your files and click on Open. Your Import window appears for you to make your Import choices like normal.

  • Shift + Click, and Apple + Click Stopped Working

    Pretty much what it says in the title. For some reason, I cannot either shift + Click to select a number of files/photos/whatever, or apple + click to select "non-adjacent icons from a list."
    I have no idea what precipitated this, and I have no idea where to reset it. And, I couldn't find an adequate answer from searching discussions (am I blind?).
    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Casey:
    1. Do you have multiple accounts on the MacBook?
    2a. If so, does this behaviour occur in all accounts?
    2b. If there's only one account, try creating a new standard account, and see whether you can shift+click or command+click to select items.
    Basically, if it works in one account and not another, the problem is with the account; if it doesn't work in any account, the problem is with the system. Knowing where the problem is will help finding the solution.

  • Re: Shift + Click, and Apple + Click Stopped Working

    Pretty much what it says in the subject line.
    I know that this may be an OSX type question, but those over in the OSX forum didn't really have an answer, so, I thought I would try over here.
    I don't know what happened to precipitate the issue, I don't know how to fix it, but I can no longer use shift + click to select a number of items in Finder/iPhoto, whatever, or apple + click to select non-continuous items in a list.
    Is there a place to reset these key strokes? I have tried restarting, and no dice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Casey

    In response:
    Are you using an Apple mouse and keyboard?
    It is a MacBook, so I am using the keyboard and mouse integrated into the laptop.
    Are both otherwise working?
    Yes.
    Do you have shift and apple keys twice on your keyboard, and if you do, have you tried both sides?
    Yes, and I have tried both sides, and neither work.
    Do you have a multibutton mouse, and if so, are you sure you are pressing the left mouse button to do the selection?
    No, I do not.
    Is Universal Access in Apple menu -> System Preferences turned on for any of its features?
    None of the features are turned on.
    Is Full keyboard access in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse turned on?
    Yes, I believe so. Though I did not see a check box of "Full Keyboard Access." But, I may be blind.
    Are the mouse button assignments different from what you expect them to be on in the same panel as the last question?
    No, as expected.
    If using a third party mouse and keyboard, did you install their software, and make sure their software is known to work with your operating system version?
    No 3rd Party Mouse.
    Thanks for the input. Any suggestions? It is really annoying.

  • Shift+Click And Drag Select

    In demonstration mode I can show how to select a range of
    cells in Excel by dragging with the mouse.
    I can achieve the same outcome by using Shift+Click on the
    start and end cells to select the range, although the viewer would
    not see the Shift key being held down of course.
    I am at a loss to see how to get (and require) a user to do
    the same things in a Trainng or Assessment simulation before being
    able to continue with the next step.
    Can anyone advise please?

    Hi again,
    I think I have something that will help you. It's in flash
    though so don't know if you're going to be able to use it.
    Basically it draws a rectangle that follows your mouse and then
    leaves the final rectangle in place if your user hits the target
    area. I must confess to heavily borrowing from the Flash help and
    then tweaking.
    I've just published this as player 7 and tested in Captivate
    2 and it works like a charm.
    This is what you do.
    1 - export the Captivate slide you wish to do the drag select
    on into Flash
    2 - get rid of everything apart from the screen shot of your
    excel. You can add everything else in afterwards.
    3 - put the background on the bottom layer of your stack and
    lock it.
    4 - Create a movie clip for the cell to be dragged out. You
    should be able to draw a rectangle the same size as a cell then F8
    it into a movie clip.
    5 - Create another one that's going to be the target.
    6 - Place these both on the stage in the correct location in
    a layer above your background.
    7 - Copy the code below into the topmost layer (usually
    called actions). You'll need to adjust the start positions and
    final rectangle positions (in the rectangle function and xpos and
    ypos) to what you want.
    8 - test the movie and it works :)
    9 - publish as a player 7 swf.
    10 - Import into the relevant place in Captivate - test and
    play.
    Now the code:
    /*THIS CODE REDRAWS THE RECTANGLE AS THE MOUSE MOVES.
    1 - Creates a function for the final rectangle
    2 - Creates the mouse listener for the drawing
    3 - Draws the rectangle dynamically while mouse pressed
    4 - If drawing ends on the target area then the dynamically
    created rectangle is hidden and the full rectangle is displayed
    5 - If drawing doesn't end on target area, rectangle is
    hidden and the user can try again.
    function rectangle() {
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("rect_mc", 5);
    rect_mc.beginFill(0x333333, 30);
    rect_mc.lineStyle(2, 0x333333, 25);
    rect_mc.moveTo(100, 120); //starting point
    rect_mc.lineTo(400, 120); //top line
    rect_mc.lineTo(400, 120); //right side line
    rect_mc.lineTo(400, 320); //bottom line
    rect_mc.lineTo(100, 320); //left side line.
    rect_mc.endFill();
    var xpos = 100;
    var ypos = 120;
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("new_mc", 5);
    var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
    mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {
    this.isDrawing = true;
    this.orig_x = xpos;
    this.orig_y = ypos;
    this.curPos_mc = new_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("",
    new_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
    mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
    if (this.isDrawing) {
    this.curPos_mc.clear();
    this.curPos_mc.beginFill(0x333333, 30);
    this.curPos_mc.lineStyle(2, 0x333333, 25);
    this.curPos_mc.moveTo(this.orig_x, this.orig_y);
    this.curPos_mc.lineTo(_xmouse, this.orig_y);
    this.curPos_mc.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
    this.curPos_mc.lineTo(this.orig_x, _ymouse);
    this.curPos_mc.lineTo(this.orig_x, this.orig_y);
    this.curPos_mc.endFill();
    updateAfterEvent();
    mouseListener.onMouseUp = function() {
    this.isDrawing = false;
    this.curPos_mc.hitArea = target_mc;
    if (this.curPos_mc.hitTest(target_mc)) {
    this.curPos_mc._visible = false;
    rectangle();
    } else {
    this.curPos_mc._visible = false;
    Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
    Let me know if you have any issues or want the .fla or .cp
    file with this.
    Cheers

  • File selection with 'cmd' key broken?

    in previous OS X's you could hold down 'cmd' and select (or deselect) multiple files in Finder.
    e.g. you have 100 files lin list view. you want to select files 1 - 20, 30 - 40 and 60 - 100
    used to be easy - click 1, shift click 100 (thus selcting all the files) then hold down 'cmd' and click/drag over 41-59 then 21-29 to deselect the chunks you don't want.
    but in Lion it doesn't work does it?
    Am I missing a new and better way of doing it or have they hobbled something useful for no good reason?

    Thanks for the suggestion Don, but no joy on either of my Lion macs.
    Using Command key is fine for adding(or removing) single files from a selection, but it does not enable adding a chunk of files - either by draging or using Shift and clicking first and last of desired extra set.
    In the latter case it just adds the first and last files to the selection (and nothing in between). In the case of trying to use Command to drag additional files, as soon as you begin the drag movement it just assumes, incorrectly, that you're trying to move the files in the current selection.
    What I don't understand is why something so basic would be different between our various lion installations. I'm not missing a preferences setting am I?
    Anyway. I'm going to pop into a Mac store and see what the techies say. And whether or not I find the same problem on the store's computers should tell me something...

  • How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time? Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the item

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

  • How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

    Title says it all!
    How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
    The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
    I hope PP is smart enough to do this
    Thanks in advance!
    -- Tim

    Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

  • I do not see print dialog when I click File Print and thus cannot select a different printer from previous printing.

    When I click File Print, no dialog appears. Instead, printing starts immediately so, I don't get to select a printer. At some point in the distant past (with a previous version of Firefox, maybe), the dialog must have appeared I must have chosen the Office Onenote printer. Now, whenever I print a web page, Firefox always uses that printer.
    I can change to another printer by editing the config file but, I have to do that every time I want to change printers. That's a bit cumbersome. Is there any way to force the print dialog to open when I click File Print so that I can chose a printer that way?
    I am using Firefox 3.6.3 with Windows XP SP3.
    Thanks for you help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I don't recall exactly.

    I was having this issue, first when trying to "Run" and then after saving the exe and trying from the desktop.
    To solve it, I simply right-clicked the exe and clicked Run As Administrator. Its installing as I type.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
