Batch processing doesn't appear to be doing anything!

I'm now frustrated because I've tried 3 times to process a set of images that I took in Portugal last week and I absolutely cannot get batch processing to work.
I've selected the half dozen images that I want to process with the same settings, they are listed in the box on the process menu. I've made the adjustments, clicked on the folders icon that says 'apply these settings to the selected captures, then clicked on the icon in the process box to batch process those images and . . . nothing. They've all been processed but none of the adjustments I made have been done so I've now wasted 2 hours processing 300 images that I've got to go through all over AGAIN one at a time. Why does the help menu not state clearly how to apply a particular set of settings to a selected number of images? I cannot find how to do this.

Capture One uses the standard method of selecting multiple items that first appeared in early versions of Mac OS and Windows 3.1. But the majority of computer users don't know about it.

The selection rules work like this: When one item is selected (has the solid beveled border in Capture One), clicking another item while holding the shift key will select all items in between. Clicking an item while holding the control key will add that item to the selection group. Control+clicking an already selecting item will un-select it. (Ctrl+A will select all.)

First click on the thumbnail image on the left which you are going to adjust. Make your changes. Then using the shift or control keys in the method described above to add more thumbnails to the selection. Now when you use the apply these settings to the selected captures it will be applied to all the images that have the dotted border around their thumbnail. Just make sure the image you want to copy from is the first one you select so it has the solid bevel.
