Once image markers are selected, they cannot be deselected

[alee001]

After selecting image markers, whether individual or all are selected, the deselection button cannot be pressed in the editing bar; it can only be done using the space bar.

I have no idea what OP is talking about, but there is some issue with deselection:
1.10.5 - browser - filelist - disabled 'Select none'

[alee001]

I have no idea what OP is talking about, but deselection is not available in the following case:
0. open folder with subfolders and files in Browser
1. press 'Select all files'
files are selected
2. press 'Invert selection'
subfolders are selected
'Select none' is disabled

Don't complicate a simple problem. I mean, after selecting the top left corner of the thumbnail, it cannot be canceled normally.

Pressing Edit > Select none cannot deselect thumbnail checkbox; I can only the space bar to do it.

Edit menu has nothing to do with thumbnail checkbox
you need Metadata>Check

The problem is that the Edit menu cannot deselect all checkboxes, because you have to click "Select All" each time to check and deselect them.

This is likely not a bug but an operational defect.

Maybe part of the difficulty here is your wording. Are you using a translator? Because "Editing Bar" and "deselection button" have no valid meaning in this context. Also, "Select" and "Check" are very different things, as are "deselect" and "uncheck".

You don't.

If you want to "deselect all checkboxes" does that mean UNCHECK them?? Then use the "Clear all checks" toolbar button. This would be said as "uncheck all checkboxes" not "deselect" them.

There is also a "Check/uncheck" toolbar button to be used in conjunction with the "Edit->Select Checked Files" command.

Thank you for your explanation. You're right. The problem was caused by an error in the program's translation section, which prevented me from finding the issue. After switching the settings from Traditional Chinese to English, I found the relevant deselection option in Metadata instead of Edit, and the problem was solved.

P.S. In previous versions, the Chinese-English language translation has always been incomplete, making it difficult to use.

Tell me if you see some errors in translation...

There are too many to list (see part), please conduct a comprehensive review of the Chinese translation and word choice.

Comprehensive review with who? He needs a Chinese speaker.

This is rude and ungrateful, alee001.

It doesn't surprise me that the program's translation is imperfect. Maybe the Chinese translation is terrible; I have no idea. (Pierre is French; even the English translation is imperfect!) But he at least makes an effort to make the app available in 29 different languages. Many applications put out by a single developer don't offer more than one. And he offers it to you for free. So that's something to consider.

Maybe he should drop Chinese altogether if it's not usable.

If you think the Chinese translation is terrible, maybe you should actually contribute to the betterment of the community and submit a better translation to Pierre for him to incorporate.

Consider:
Someone has, for a long time, been giving you the benefit of their efforts, for free. They ask you for help with something that is difficult for them to do, but you can do better.

So what's the right thing to do?
1. Help
2. Complain they don't do more for you

It seems very simple to me...

Please clarify your reasons before making unreasonable accusations…

I understand that translating into a non-native language presents certain difficulties, but there are many tools available for foreign language translation today. As a developer, this is not an excuse, especially for retail sales.

You are being too naive about this issue. The purpose of setting up a software discussion forum, besides allowing users to exchange ideas, is more importantly to bug fixes, suggestions, and improvements. Therefore, developers should be grateful for the contributions of users, not ignore their opinions.

If the software itself has many problems, is difficult to use, or even worse, even if it's free, users won't stay. They would have already abandoned it or switched to something else. Why would they waste time on a discussion forum?!
