robinoz

As my title explains,I love ACDSee for managing all my
pics,but when I hold down shift(or CTRL)to multiple
select pics for moving,copying deleting etc for every pic
I highlight(or delete)it creates another copy.I end up
with 8 and 9 copies of each picture in my folders.

What is going on,I cannot find anything in options where
I have selected "Make copies" or anything.Does anyone
know a solution?

Thankyou guys

Hi,

I replied to your previous message before
I read this one...Yes, your problem can be
solved with my instructions.

================================

It happens occasionally to most anyone who
is trying to multiple select by holding the Ctrl
or Shift key while left clicking to select the
image files.

The copies are created when you fail to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. If a group
of selected files is dragged...even the slightest
bit...the next mouse click will produce copies
of all the previously highlighted files.

It's somewhat easier if you have your Folder
Options set to Single Click...this way you can
select/deselect a file with just a mouse over
and you don't have to click. For multiples you
still have to hold...Ctrl or Shift.

No click...no drag...no copy...maybe that's
your solution.

If you wish to delete all the files in a folder
you could try the following:

Go to...Edit / Select All...or type...Ctrl / A...

With all files selected...go to...File / Delete...
or press your Delete key...or...right click the
group and choose "Delete".
