Places: what means a gold pin?
In Places View, if I click a red pin:
- it turns gold
- the Images associated with that pin are selected in the Browser (e.g.: "2469 selected - 33407 items displayed")
If I click the black-to-blue arrow on the right edge of the black pin label, the Browser is filtered to the Images associated with that pin:
- all other pins disappear
- the pin turns red
- the view zooms to the pin location
- a Filter is set with the Rule "Area" (no arguments are shown in the Filter HUD)
- the Browser shows only those Images associated with that pin (e.g.: "2469 items displayed")
If I click that red pin:
- the pin turns gold
- all Images in the Browser are selected (e.g.: "2469 selected - 2469 items displayed")
No problems so far. Clicking a pin selects its Images; clicking a label arrow filters to those Images. Gold = Images are selected.
What I want to do is select _two_ pins (I want to select, for example, just the wildlife refuges along a coast). And here the behavior breaks down (or floods my capacity for comprehension).
Clear the Filter (or click the "Back" tile at the top left of the map).
- Several red pins appear.
Click one of them.
- It turns gold, and the Images associated with that pin are selected in the Browser (e.g.: 41 selected - 33407 items displayed).
Click another pin.
- it turns gold, and the Images associated with that pin are selected in the Browser (e.g.: 7 selected - 33407 items displayed).
- the previously selected pin returns to red
Still all OK.
Now, "{Command}+click" another red pin -- not too close the gold pin.
- it, too, turns gold
- but there is no change in the Browser.
You can turn as pins gold in this way as your like. The Browser selection never changes.
So "Gold" does not equal "Image associated with this pin are selected in the Browser". That's not good.
It gets worse.
Now, "{Command}+click" a red pin _close to_ the gold pin.
- it turns gold
- sometimes -- and this seems to depend on more than the distance between the pins -- the Images associated with this pin _will be_ selected in the Browser: the count of selected Images is incremented to include all Images associates with each gold pin.
What am I missing?
And what is the easiest way to group the Images associated with different pins? (Currently I select, flag, unselect, and repeat, then go to Flagged View. Nothing wrong with that, but seems like wearing a parka when a wind-breaker would do.)
As always, thanks.
