--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Chun <unmonito...@jonathanchun.com> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Our own open/save dialog does this too, so it's a bit odd that Dolphin > doesn't. > > One concern is that this could make multi-selection using a box more > difficult. Indeed, the file dialog doesn't even implement this at all. > Nonetheless, the other file managers you mentioned seem to have solved this > problem in a fairly elegant way: > - click-and-drag upwards in an empty area = drag a selection box > - click-and-drag sideways in an empty area = drag-and-drop > - click-and-drag in any direction on an item's icon or label = drag-and-drop > > I think it would make sense if Dolphin implemented this too (and then the > file dialog, for that matter) To add on to that, in most file browsers I've used, shift+click will select from your current row and invert-select up to the row you shift+clicked on, which eliminates the need for click+dragging altogether. I'm not saying it shouldn't be implemented -- just providing an alternative answer to the "selecting multiple files might be hard" problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
