Filemanager - select multiple

[DrSpringy]

Theres no way to easily select multiple files at present You should be able to use the Filter to show files with a common naming and then tick a select all tick box to select all of those files

[DrSpringy]

and there's no way to quickly unselect all files as well

[DrSpringy]

need this fixed ASAP

The unselect button is at the bottom of the page, near the line showing how many files are currently selected.

With select all, we have talked multiple times about this. While implementing this is easy, we need to be careful to introduce it, as users might mix files and folders in the list, or add multiple different file types together. From our previous discussion, I think Nick and I agreed to leave it out, as multiple similar files can be included as series.

Yeah okay, it’s definitely annoying from a users point of view, and keeps coming up since I forget we’ve discussed it before, so we can put it on hold, but need a way to do it In this case I was trying to push multiple files to CVL from the files manager, which I can’t use the series button for since it doesn’t exist

JS, NC, DG, ND, ME zoom call on 27-Mar-2024:

Provide advice on how to improve user experience

• file type filter with select all?
• job params should default/template to the same for all selected files
• behaviour should be as close as possible to win/mac file explorer
• select multiple files currently works for CVL
• part 1: basic select multiple
• part 2: applying templates, metadata for multiple files, with some examples as input
