Quick Method to Drag Images Through a Contact Sheet

[David Roth]

I usually start arranging my images in capture time order. I've been grouping images taken in different locations into separate contact sheets to minimize the number of images I need to work with at one time. Even so, I can still end up with several hundred images in one contact sheet. If I want to bring together images taken on different days, I find myself dragging the selected images over many pictures. I also create title slides from some images in an external editor and save them back into the contact sheet directory. These always appear at the end of the contact sheet and require that I drag them back over many images also. I know that holding the cursor nearer to the top or bottom of the contact sheet speeds the scrolling process, but I still find that this is not quick enough.

Is there a way to drag and drop these images more quickly or to insert them at a particular point?

Thanks.

Have you tried pressing the Home or End keys?  (I haven't tried it but those keys move instantly to the top and bottom of the contact sheet.)

I've tried those and Ctrl, Shift, and Alt to no avail (page up and page down too).
