From the Media Browser screen, almost every single feature of Media Purveyor works off the selected thumbnail(s). It is therefore important to know how to operate the thumbnail scrollbox efficiently.

Left-click the mouse to select a thumbnail.

To select a batch of thumbnails, first select a single thumbnail. Next, hold down the Shift key and click on a second thumbnail. All thumbs from the first to the second thumb clicked will be highlighted.

Hold down the Ctrl key while left-clicking the mouse over thumbnails to select or de-select them without clearing a batch selection.

Left click any thumbnail that is not in the current selection without holding down Shift or Ctrl and the selection will clear and that one thumbnail will select. Also, pressing the ESCape key will clear the current thumbnail selection.

For some operations, such as generating a numbered series, it is useful to move a thumbnail from one location to another. Simply drag and drop the thumbnail to its new location.

The scrollbar on the right may be used but perhaps the easiest method is using the scrollwheel on the mouse. The default scroll amount is an entire page. To scroll only half a page with each turn of the mouse wheel hold down the Ctrl key.
