(Loading & Saving, Drag & Drop) SELECTING MULTIPLE FILES FOR DRAG-DROP, COPY, MOVE, DELETE, RENAME, BATCH OPERATIONS OR CONTACT SHEETS

If you want to copy/delete/move/rename files from the current folder, you need to indicate which file(s) are to be operated on. You can do this by checking the checkboxes next to the filename in the files list. Also, if you have the "Thumbnail Checkboxes" option set, you can check those checkboxes as well.

TIP: If you want most of the files in the list checked and you don't want to waste a bunch of time clicking away, you can just check the ones you DON'T want checked. Then click the "Flip All Checkmarks" button. Then what was checked becomes un-checked and what was once un-checked becomes checked. The "Flip All Checkmarks" button looks like a BACKWARD green checkmark. There's also a "Checkmark All" button and a "Un-Check All" button as well to help facilitate checking the files you want. These tagging buttons are located on the Quick Tools panel.


TIP: Sometimes you may want to checkmark a bunch of files all at once. There is an easy way to do this. Just click on the first file in your bunch. Then, WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY, click on the last file in your bunch. The shift key tells Photo Jockey that you want to do a whole group at a time. You then get the choice of (checking, un-checking, flip checking) all the files in the group.

Once you have selected your files, you can then do the following with the tagged files:

Drag/Drop images

Copy files

Delete files

Rename files

Move files

BATCH function.

Contact Sheets.

Once you start one of these operations, you are given a choice to either perform the operation on the current file OR on all the tagged files.

HINT: You can also press the "SPACE BAR" to check and un-check files.

HINT: You can press the DELete key and it will act as though you had clicked on the Trash Can button.

HINT: When you do your dragging, you have the option of dragging the current image OR all the tagged files. Also, you can ONLY DRAG FROM THE IMAGE DISPLAY area of the screen.
