How to batch select photos for printing

Batch selecting photosDo you sometimes get lists of selected photos from your clients, which they want you to print? How do you actually pick those photos out of the folder in which they were stored?

Do you sometimes lose attention for a second and release that damn CTRL key and need to go all over again? Man, this little thing can actually burn a photographer hours of work doing practically nothing. If it's only a small amount of photos - no problem, the manual selecting works fine.

I do. and for long time I've been using all sorts of hot shoe adapters, when all I wanted to do is just plug a Pocket Wizard or any other radio slave to my flash. Then I bumped into Lotto's post on photography-on-the.net forum. Now, you know how it goes when you see a useful and simple trick/shortcut/device and go "Gosh, this is so simple!! why didn't I see this a year ago?" This is how I reacted after seeing how simple it is to implant an1/8" socket to receive the standard sync plugs directly into the 580EX.
