Question

Adding to default collection

I am selecting several images and press "B" to add them to a default collection. However only the first of the images is added.
Is this normal behaviour or yet another "feature"???

Thanks

Pete

Use Grid View [G] when adding multiple images to a Collection.

In Loupe view [E] you will only get the primary selected image from multiple selects on the Filmstrip.

Also be aware that if you press [B] a second time- the selected images are then removed from the 'Target' Collection.

Thanks so much. I was going crazy. 
But why on earth should selecting a photo in one view or another be handled differently??

Cheers

I do not know 'why'!  But imagine that the Filmstrip is not currently visible- How would you select multiple images in Loupe (or Develop) View? I guess it is just not logical to select multiple image when the UI is focused on one single image.
