A lot of my job is copying and pasting big batches of PDF files from one file window and sorting them into folders in another window. Before I upgraded to 11 when I would paste a batch it would keep all the things I just moved highlighted so I could easily grab them all again and move them somewhere else. Now with 11 when I go to grab that batch it only selects the one file I clicked and dragged on directly while it automatically deselects all the other ones.

Please tell me there is a secret answer to this because it has slowed down my work flow significantly and I cannot use Linux or stay on 10 as we are required to move to 11 in order for data safety compliance blah blah blah

Please tell me I am just blind or searching the wrong things up looking for my solution.

    Do all the new files have the same date and time they were generated? You can sort the folder by most recent and select all the most recent files.

    If you output the files to an empty folder, you can Ctrl+a to select all files.

    Unfortunately, unless the software has options to change the way files are handled, you may have lost that functionality.

    One last thing you can try is uninstalling the program and reinstalling it.
