Any quick way to delete multiple image thumbnails?

Post by surfgranny »

:x I am in the middle of a huge project and it is extremely time consuming to click on each image thumbnail, click delete, then enter, and enter again to remove it from the file. THree clicks and it takes about five seconds per image. With three hundred plus images, that's a heck of a long time to sit there clicking.

I love using Ulead for image-based projects because it allows me to drag and drop entire folders of pictures in one movement. If only the same were true for getting them off of the thumbnail page.

Deleting the file makes for even more work - then I not only have to click Delete for each image thumbnail, but also have to go through the added steps of cancelling Relink. This requires five clicks and takes about ten seconds an image.

Does anyone know how to delete all the thumbnails at once? I've searched forums old and new to no avail, as well as the help menu. This board is my last hope.

Thanks!

Click on the first one, then Shift-click on the last , hit the delete key.

You will still get a couple of boxes to click but thats just to make sure you've got it right.
Just make sure you click "No to All" in the SECOND box if you do not want to delete the actual video files from your PC, or conversly "Yes to All" if you do want to delete the video files.

Also note that after deleting you will still get the "Relink" message if you still have clips in the storyboard/Timeline which you dragged and dropped from the library pane.
