Description Pmarj 2002-05-15 10:48:06 UTC
Hi,

i would like to report a bug/feature request on selecting files and cells
in treeviews(if possible), currently it's possible to select multiple items
separately with holding down the ctrl key, but it's unsufficient, therefore
it seems *really* important to me to add this feature before gnome2
arrives, as an explanation a screenshot showing this on win9x, you select
files the same way as in nautilus by dragging a square, see 
http://www.laapp.miesto.sk/dragsquare.png
with ctrl pressed you can select another multiple files to those already
selected.. 
Other than that - gnome2 is really cool, and i love it :)

(File selection is also planned to be completely redone for
GTK+-2.4.)
