Multi-Select using Shift on Mac selects too many

Am I missing something?  Generally speaking, if I select an item in a list on my Mac, press shift, then click on another item in the list, all the items between are selected.  When I do this in FRV, it always selects from the beginning of the list, not where I initially clicked.  Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Can I view Lab values with a color sampler?

Can I view Lab values (Lab Color Readout values?) with a color sampler in FRV? An important part of my culling process is checking the Lab value of the white patch on the x-rite ColorChecker targets in my photos. It is not enough for me to know that the white patches are not overexposed. For example: a photo of a ColorChecker Digital SG target with a white patch L value of 97 is better than one with a L value of 99, but FRV seems to give me no way of distinguishing between the two. Am I missing something?

Is there a way to search the forum for key words?

I apologize if I'm missing something obvious. Maybe this is a problem with my browser?

Lightroom load metadata stopped working

I used my free trial of FastRawViewer to rate and label a couple of folders worth of photos. For the first batch, when I used "Read metadata from file", Lightroom updated the ratings and labels perfectly.
For the second batch, I can see that the xmp files associated with the rated and labelled photos contain the correct ratings and labels, but they don't update when I click "Read metadata from file" (although Lightroom does show the progress bar as though it's reading the files).

Advance on Rating

Hello. I very much like FastRawViewer and have supported the effort with a paid license. One feature that I think would be very useful is the ability to have FRV advance to the next pic upon setting a rating. This would allow for even faster culling by cutting "rating" and "advance" clicks/keystrokes by half. Asimple toggle in preferences would be great. I hope you will consider this. Thanks.

Setting defaults

I've been a registered FastRawViewer for a couple of years, and I like the software, but I don't like the way it seems to have taken over all aspects of my photo file handling. Sometimes I want to use windows file manager or Canon Digital Professional to quickly sort through my photos. If I happen to double click a photo for a closer look in another program, it opens the file in FastRawViewer, which I don't want. I'm assuming some defaults need to be undone and reset, but I can't find out how to do it. I tried fiddling around with the defaults in the Windows Settings, but that didn't help.

Keywording?

Scene capture type

Scene capture type seems not to be working in exif panel of FRV for my X-T1, it shows "standard" for all my RAF files.
Is this a bug or could it be my camera setup ? It shows all other Exif information just fine in the Exif panel.
And yes i did tick the box in the Exif display preferences of FRV.
 
Thanks, Iwan.

Fix filmstrip to right hand side?

Is there a shortcut to fix the filmstrip down the right hand side of the screen? When I drag it there it pops back to the top or bottom.
