just deleted a whole folder cos I didnt realise they were all selected (DOH!:oops::shock::roll:) could have done with a warning dialogue e.g. " are you sure you want to ditch the lot matey?";)

How and from where did you do that? Usually there is a warning.:roll::shock:
 
Wow! I can't do that however hard I try!!! You're getting really good at this! :D

No idea - I was going back and forth twixt Library and dovelop, zooming in and out checking sharpness, assigning stars, etcerarar, I had just added a desaturate preset to the folder I was looking at (i.e. did ne then synched the lot )and deleted what I ythought would be one photo , whops - the lot went!

It was still applng the presets , maybe that did it?

select photos and rightclick to selct delete photos, asks if you want to delete from library or delete from disk, selecting delete from disk kills them , and the problem is when youre in a hurry ( like I am - imagine the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderand - tat;s me!) it doesnt offer the option to set a pref where should you select rather al lot of pics it wansyou ...
would be useful to me as I had no idea how I selected the lot, but then I d find that using a wacom pen does odd things somethimes e.g. SINGLE clicking on a pic often wil open it in CS3 or LR, no idea why ( sensitivity probably )_ but it doeas.. so odd thngs happen..

So I should qualify that request to say ' warnings if you're going to dlete the lot.. e.g. in photoshopit says 'are you sure ou want to open that many files, geezer'? - IN LR it could just as easily say - 'are you sure you want to dlete that many, old bean?'

Maybe, just maybe, you could slow down and pay a little more attention to what is happening and what you are doing. My experience tells me that most errors are mine!!:cheesy::cheesy:
As for the Wacom, maybe someone will give some advice on setting that up to your preference.
Thanks for being so entertaining as well!!;););):lol:

Do you have the latest driver? Are you inadvertently pressing the side buttons when you click?

I had a Wacom pen go bad. It was mostly noticeable in the sensitivity. It would register a double click when I only clicked once. The settings didn't help it. Opening files in another app is weird though. I can't find a setting that would do that except having a button set to fire the Command-E keystroke.

yues to latest driver ( actually I prefer to think of them as 'chauffeurs';))

Inadertantly pressingside buttons? Almost coitenley Stanley! It's impossible not to with hair on both sides of one's mitts, so don't ask me not to - give me warning dialogues instead!:lol:;)

It does the same as yours- i.e. double clicks on single click- is it hardware rather than software glitching? ( I have emailed Wacom)

As for opeing in another app. that is due no do8ubt to my accidentally clicking the side doo dah, so that's whyI need a warning diatribe - I mean dialogue-;)

slow down, slow down? I can't slow down,Im trying to speed up! I concur, they are indubitably my faults Holmes, but if one is born Speedy Gonzaleth how can one fight it?

A safety net is what's needed here, just as there are plenty already for other Ps3 minor misdemeanors, I can't be te only one out here with fat hairy mitts, a coffee bean for a brain and a wobbly chair?
