Unable to do multiple selections
Ok, Capture One 4 has now gotten my vote of dissaproval!
How in the world do I do multiple selections? In the thumbnail view in the bottom; I select the first image hold down the shift key and select the last image. It shows they are all selected. However, when I then try to rotate them or batch process it just does the first image and not all! I had no problem with this in version 3.
I had no problem with this in the beta version of four. Please help.

As I replied in your other post, you have to hold shift down to get muliple manipulations, e.g. shift-(click)rotate or shift-(click)process.
I hope that's one problem gone for you!0 -

I THINK you have to rotate the first one, then click the copy button, and then select all the images, and then click the past button.
BUT!!!
You better click the Adjustment button first to review what adjustments are going to be copied because it when you click the copy button it adds all your adjustments to the Adjustment clipboard so you need to click off all the other adjustments you don't want to copy to all the images you have selected.
Convoluted? Well yes but that's what it seems the development team was going after when they designed, developed, didn't listen to is user base, and then released this mess.

I'll try it on my next batch. But that sounds so retarded and sounds counter intuitive. The first thing I do is rotate all pictures. THEN I worry about making adjustments. 0 -

I just tried this: selected one image. Rotated it using the 90-degree rotation tool in the toolbar. Selected Adjustments>Copy adjustments.
Looking at the Adjustments Clipboard, I see that the rotation was not added there, even though "Rotation" is one of the check-boxes. It turns out that only custom rotation (via tool selected by pressing "R" or Shift+"R") is added when "Copy adjustments" is selected. Too bad. So one alternative is selecting multiple images in the browser, then holding down Shift and clicking the 90-degree rotation tool in the toolbar.
Keystroke alternatives for 90-degree rotation: Control+Shift+Alt+L to rotate all leftward. Control+Shift+Alt+R to rotate all rightward.
Adding to the joy :-/ ... if the custom-rotation tool is selected -- specifically, its "rotate left" or "rotate right" mode -- and rotation is applied, "Copy adjustments" also does not copy that change to the Adjustments Clipboard. Only freehand rotation and changes applied via the "straighten" mode of the tool are copied into the Adjustments Clipboard.
Yeah, that could sure use some improving...0 -

I don't know why you guys are making this complicated. As I said above, just selct all your images (ctrl-click), then hold shift down and click rotate. It's quite simple!0 -
it's not that we are making things complicated. it's that in earlier versions we didn't have to do that...just select all the images you wanted to rotate click rotate and voila the selected images are rotated 0 -
I understand that all too well.
All I'm saying is don't make life any more complicated than it needs to be. The only difference now is that you have to hold the shift key down when you select rotate. Not much difference really.
If only the other issues were so easy!0 -

New versions of software sometimes behave a little different, don't they? And maybe for a reason.
CO4 allows you to select a group of images (either manually or through rating), show them all or separately in the Viewer and apply adjustments individually or to all (with Shift-key).
I just start getting used to this Multiple Images concept, which is one of the base concepts of CO4 and I think it is great and well implemented. It allows for easy and fast compare and making adjustments within a selected group of images. Yes, in earlier versions we were not able to do that...
Enjoy CO4, it is a different animal!0 -

Still doesn't really get to the point of "why"? Why add the extra step of holding down the shift key when that wasn't needed in 3.7? Can someone explain that? Generally I'm starting to get used to 4.0, despite what I consider to be some flaws. But new and improved should mean easier and less steps involved, or at least not added steps that were not needed in the previous version, or in any other software I have used before. So why add the shift key? And why not explain it in the manual? 0 -
Cntl A selects all properly. NOW how do I get them into the batch Que? When I try to batch process it only processes one image. 0 -
After all images that you want to process are highlighted, hold down the shift key and then click on the process button. Phase One added the extra step of having to hold down the shift key when you click on process. Who knows why they added that step when it wasn't necessary in 3.7. This has been explained several times in this forum and still people are confused by it. Doesn't make any sense to me why Phase One would make this into something that ultimately confuses people. And you can't blame people for being confused. 0
