Multi-select pictures when Auto Flyout (automatically import/place pictures with auto page addon)

[AffinityMakesMeWonder]

Hi Affinity friends out there!

Question: have 200 pictures, try to auto flyout them into Publisher v2 on iPad - four circleformed pictureframes on each sida (A4 landscape)…

Choose 200 pictures from Files app, they jump in to Publisher and landing on a strip with 200 thumbnail with checkmarks…

On my Mac I choose first thumbnail, go to last thumbnail, press Shift on keyboard, and choose them all between, BUT, it can’t be done on iPad…?

There’s that dot you can activate screen key modifier, but when I choose Shift there, nothing happens when doing the same as on the Mac…??

Any tips here?

You need to select the images in the Place panel (blue dot), tap the + icon on panel and select desired images or the square icon for all images, then simply tap inside/on the first placeholder. The first image will be placed there and each of the other selected images will be placed in turn in the following place holders. There is a good description in the apps Help file too.
