Description Alexander van Loon 2006-05-09 07:49:49 UTC 
Recently I imported over 100 vacation photo's in F-Spot, and I wanted to give a
tag to all those photo's. The problem is, how do I select all those photo's in a
quick and easy way? I can't drag a selection square in F-Spot and then substract
from the selection with left click when keeping Ctrl pressed (which can be done
in Nautilus) Another method would be to select all the photo's by first
selecting photo #1, and then keeping Ctrl + Shift pressed while clicking photo
#117. That would select all the photo's in between #1 and #117. That's how the
method would work in Windows, but it's not possible in F-Spot (not in GNOME
either, unfortunately). Could this please be implemented?

Being able to drag with the mouse to select a bunch of photos has been requested in bug #336906.  Selecting a range of photos by selecting a photo then pressing Ctrl-Shift while selecting the last photo in the range indeed does not work (and I can confirm that it does on windows).  It will work if you just press Shift, though.  The selection logic default to 

I'm not sure if this is something we should change.  It probably is, and it should probably be specified in the HIG, which doesn't cover the Ctrl-Shift case.  As it is, we behave the same as Nautilus does.  I've e-mailed the usability list to this end: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2006-May/msg00057.html

Thanks for the info Gabriel and Benqt. I opened this bug based on a wrong assumption, now that I'm just using Shift it works fine for me. So I'm closing this bug.
