GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 85759
no selection box style multiple selection for list view
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Version 2.0.0 When viewing files in the list view, user cannot select multiple files by clicking and dragging a selection box as can be done in the icon view. Expected behavior: if a mouse drag does not begin near an icon or a filename for a file, then begin a multiple-selection box like in the icon view.
nautilus uses the gtk tree view for the list view so i'm going to mark this a dupe of bug 80127 which is a gtk bug that addresses this issue. please add comments there. Thank you. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80127 ***
