Edit: sorry, I hadn't realised Frigate v0.15.0 (the non-beta version) had been released yet. I'll upgrade to that and will report back if the problem persists.

Explore:

• Long press or right click (Cmd-click on Mac) selects tracked objects.

This doesn't seem to be working as explained on my system.
Frigate v0.15.0-beta4 through Google Chrome for Mac, Version 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (x86_64)
MacOS Sonoma, 14.6.1.

• The Cmd-click on Mac (left click while holding down command key) just opens the tracked object details page.
• Long-pressing with left mouse button also opens the tracked object details page.

Right-click does work and selects an image as expected, though.

The beta4 version is old, you should upgrade to the 0.15 Release version.

The beta4 version is old, you should upgrade to the 0.15 Release version.

Yep, just tested with v0.15.0 release version and the Cmd-click and right-click are working, but the long-press left mouse button is not working.

[hawkeye217]

Long-press is for mobile devices only.

Long-press is for mobile devices only.

Thanks for clarifying.

This is great knowledge! Should there maybe a guide setup under the guide section on the documentation page to share this knowledge and a go to as the UI evolves?

[NickM-27]

Might make sense to be somewhere in the docs but a guide tells you how to accomplish something from start to finish. This isn't really guide material more just a reference

The Ctrl/Cmd-A seem not working on explore views (on 0.15.2) while it works fine on the review page, it would be handy to add it there as well. Thanks!

[NickM-27]

It works on the Explore view after you have activated a filter, selecting on the explore overview page is not supported

See the note above - you need to be in grid view, not summary view.
