Description Zane Tu 2010-05-01 20:05:49 UTC
Please add an option to disable whole line/row selection in list view so that right-clicking on a point under a column other than "Name" (eg "Date Modified") will invoke the context menu for the current folder (eg "Create folder").
Please note that this issue will not emerge when there are only a few files in a folder, because a user can always find empty space not occupied by any file entry where right-click can invoke the context menu for the current folder. For folders with lots of files occupying more than one screen in the list view, right-clicking on any point in the file list will lead to the selection of some file entry, thus preventing the user from accessing the context menu for the current folder.
