pick images on import

Thomas Schneider

With CO21 the import of images change:

Now all images of my Memory Card are selectet at default. I can deselect all with a button. But now I have to select each image individually. The extension of a selection by using the Shift key does not work anymore. So when I have a Memory Card with 800 images and I only want to import 400 (in ascending order) I have push 400 times the pick button?

Does anyone else have the same problem?

    This is what the online help says:

    "When you want to select specific images to import, adopt the usual Shift-click to select contiguous images or Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click (Windows) to select individual images. When you want to reset the image selection, click on the background between thumbnails."

    Well on my Apple silicon Mac mini I get the same problem as you, that advice is just plain wrong.  Will you raise a problem report?

    Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.

    I think with the introduction of the additional shortcuts for the speed edit the problems have occurred. They are different on Mac or Windows Systems. So double-clicking on an image in Windows sometimes behaves strangely: I was used to double-click a image to go to the viewer for editing. Now the double-click does not react until i change the grid view to the list view and back.

    I am not sure if a problem report will do any good. In the meantime there are so many problem reports about the CO21 update here in the forum, but hardly any reaction from Phase One, except for a price increase.

    Greetings

    Hi Gents,

    I was having this same problem when I noticed something interesting - there's a difference if you 'select' an image (by clicking on the image) and if you 'pick' the image (by clicking on the small box with the check-mark).

    If you only want to import a range of images but not all of them:

    1. De-select 'Pick all'.
    2. Click on the first photo you want to select - on the image itself, not the check-box to pick it - and there will be a white border around it.
    3. Hold the shift key and click on the image of the last photo you want to select, and there will now be white borders around all of the images between the first and last photos inclusive.
    4. Click the pick-box of any photo in the range with white borders, and they will all receive check-marks.  You can now import them all in one go.

    If you try to do the same by holding the shift key and clicking the pick-box of the first and last photo, this will not work, and you'll only pick those two photos.

    Hope this helps,

    Larry
