4.2.5 Selecting Lesson Cards

FineTime allows you to select a subset of the cards displayed in the timetable view for operations such as attaching, detaching or removal (see Section 4.2.6). To select single cards, simply right-click on them in turn. The selected cards are displayed with light writing on a black background.

You can deselect cards by right-clicking on them a second time. Each right-click of the mouse toggles the selection state of the card under the mouse cursor.

It is also possible to select or deselect certain groups of cards at once. You can (de-)select a complete row of cards by right-clicking on the resource label for that row. To (de-)select all the cards for one day, right-click on the corresponding day heading; to (de-)select the cards for all lessons taking place at a particular time, right-click on the corresponding period number heading.

In addition, you can choose Edit - Select All from the menu bar to select all the cards in the timetable view or Edit - Clear Selection to deselect all cards. Choose Edit - Invert Selection to select currently unselected cards while deselecting currently selected cards. The latter is useful when, for example, you want select all cards except those for a certain day or teacher.
