Suddenly I don't get a thumbnail when I take a screenshot, how do I get this feature back. I use Command Shift 4 to take a small screenshot, then a thumbnail appears in the lower right corner of the screen and I can right click that for a menu or drag it to another window. Suddenly this feature is gone and it opens a window and wants me to save the image as a file. I don't want to save it as a file, how to I get the thumbnail feature back?

How to remove photo selection thumbnails at the bottom of displayed photos on iPhone When I display a photo on my iPhone (iOS18), at the bottom of it are tiny icons of many pictures in my library that I can select. I DON'T WANT THAT DISPLAY. I JUST want the picture I selected to be displayed. How do I get rid of that tiny row of picture icons at the bottom??? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is there a way to delete multiple pages (thumbnails)? I set up a template document for home inspections with many blank pages with pre-formatted tables in to drop images into and write text descriptions. Sometimes the report will be much shorter and I need to remove several of these pages. In an older version of Pages I was able to select multiple thumbnails over on the left and then delete them, easy peasy. Now I have to select one, hit delete, and do that over and over. Not the end of the world, but Is there a way to select multiple thumbnails to speed up this process?

If you are referring to an open multi-page document using Thumbnail view, then if it is a default word processing application, you cannot delete a thumbnail without clicking in that associated page, and then removing the contents on that given document page representing that thumbnail.

If you have a Page Layout form of document, then every thumbnail is a removable page, and you can right-click on that thumbnail and choose delete.
