Selecting several images or files with one click - can it be done.

Permalink
Hello
Is it possible to select more than one file at a time? For example:
1. I wish to create a set. Do I have to select each file/image one at a time then click on choose - to add it to the set?
2. I with create/edit a slideshow - do have have to choose one image at a time to add it to the slideshow?

I tried to shift click and select more than one file but it still only selected one file. I have several slideshows to create. It's a bit onerous having to select one image at a time.

Assistance greatly appreciated thank you.

Yes, although it's a but unintuitive at first. The trick is to check the box next to the images you want to select in the file manager, then click on the little dropdown at the top of the list (the one that has two asterisks in it, "**"):

To create a file set, check the boxes next to the images you want included, then choose "sets" from the "**" dropdown.

To add multiple images to the slideshow block, add/edit the slideshow block, make sure you're using the "Custom Slideshow" option, then click the "Add Image" button, then check the boxes next to the images you want to add and choose "add" from the "**" dropdown.

Oh thanks so much for that. I did wonder what the ** was for. Guess I should have explored further. So relieved I dont have to select each item one at a time anymore!

Thanks again for your help.
Cheers
