Once image markers are selected, they cannot be deselected

Post by 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.

PS v1.10.5 win

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

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.

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.
