Description Christian Gruber 2019-05-05 11:16:35 UTC 
When you are in album mode, mark some pictures and press Ctl-L to compare them in lighttable, only the last one is displayed in the right hand window. You have to do a lot of manual dragging and dropping first before you can start to do the real work. I think that the lighttable has to be changed ergonomically, and it should be communicated a sample work flow how to use it.

Select items from icon view before to press CTRL+L

Else press SHIFT+L in icon view, this will load all items from current album in Light Table.

It seems that I just used it the wrong way, Is there a tutorial that describes the correct use of the light table?

Hi,

It's probably described in this book which includes plenty of tutorials :
