After Rating a Selection, Not Push the User Back to First Selection Image
I'm new with FRV, I have tried to tinker with the Selection options, currently (in Grid Mode), I can manage to make a large selection and give them all a rating, but after rating the images FRV seems adamant to push me back to the first image in that selected bunch. This is kinda jarring and annoying when selecting some 200+ images to rate *.
The idea here is to quickly do a first cull pass, namely from Grid view, select all the images/thumbnails that show potential, but at this time we are not concerning ourselves with checking focus or even composition necessarily. Because it is quite a superficial basic selection it can be quite a vast number, not a few, but hundreds even (quite easy when shooting 15fps). The problem I encounter is after highlighting all the files and pressing the '1' key to give them all that * rating, RFV seems to take me back to the top and not leave me in the Grid view at the last highlighted image that was given the 1 star rating. Is there a combination of parameters that I need to set in the Preferences>Selection to make FRV behave like this?
Thanks,
BB

Dear Sir:
Dear Sir:
Please have a look at FastRawViewer manual, "Actions on marked/selected files" section (starts at p.69), and use the "gear" icon on "XMP batch change ..." panel to adjust "Move to next file after..." item to your liking. Maybe "Do not move" is what you are looking for.
The User Manual is a fully searchable PDF featuring a nested table of contents. It can be accessed instantly from the FastRawViewer's main menu under Help -> PDF Manual.
