Culling actions used to operate on a single photo (the activePhotoId)
even when many were selected — pressing 5 with ten thumbnails high-
lighted only rated one. Same for the RightSidebar buttons, which
weren't even visible in multi-select mode. Lightroom semantics: every
culling action applies to the whole selection.
Fix
- Three new bulk helpers in services/api.ts:
photos.bulkSetRating(ids, rating)
photos.bulkSetColor(ids, color | null)
(existing photos.bulkDiscard / bulkRestore reused for X / U)
All matching the backend BulkAction { ids, action, value } shape
the /photos/bulk endpoint already accepts.
useKeyboardShortcuts
- New cullTargets() helper: selectedPhotos if non-empty, else
activePhotoId in a singleton, else empty.
- updateActive() now branches on cullTargets().length:
1 → existing PATCH /photos/{id} path (single-photo).
2+ → fans out to the right bulk endpoint per field. rating goes
to bulkSetRating, color_label to bulkSetColor, is_discarded
to bulkDiscard / bulkRestore.
- 1-5 / 0 / X / U / 6-9 shortcuts now Just Work on multi-select
without further changes — they all funnel through updateActive.
RightSidebar
- Restructured the Quick Actions block: filename / title / notes are
hidden in multi-select (they only make sense for one photo); but
rating / color / flag controls are now always visible when at
least one photo is selected. A small "Rating, color, and flag
apply to all N selected" hint shows in multi mode.
- New applyRating / setColor / applyDiscard helpers fan out to the
bulk endpoints when selectedPhotos.length > 1, otherwise hit the
per-photo PATCH path. The displayed value still reflects the
active photo (last clicked) so the user has a visual anchor —
matches Lightroom's "focused vs selected" model.
- Pick/Heap-toggle button is now selection-aware too: heapMutation
takes ids[], the click handler reads selectedPhotos, and the
add-vs-remove decision uses "every selected is a member" exactly
like the P keyboard shortcut. Optimistic membership cache update
also flips the basket badge across all selected thumbnails
instantly.
