It seems nothing is being done on this bug (or is this a duplicate and the party is somewhere else?). So if this cannot be considered a bug due to some formal or bureaucratic reason, please tell us whether this has been fixed and/or implemented in future Ubuntu releases. Rubberband selection in list views is such an important basic operating system feature that people shake their heads when trying Ubuntu for file management, as in "what do you mean this doesn't work? Why not?" If there is a big show stopper (as in, major bug in some dependant library that nobody has figured out in eight years), please also tell us.

[Bug 49348] Re: List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse
"It's not a feature that you would advertise if you were selling Ubuntu" This is not a feature, it is what is commonly called a "hygiene factor" in engineering. Hygiene factors are things that nobody notices when they exist but everybody will complain about when they are missing or broken. Selecting objects via rubberband (almost) everywhere but *especially* in the file manager is so commonplace nowadays that this is an absolute must have. This is THE single feature in file management that every single person I introduced Ubuntu to complained about within ten minutes of usage. (In contrast: absolutely nobody currently cares about touch features, where a lot of effort seems to go.)

(From a duplicate.) "This is a new feature, not a trivial usability fix, so it is not considered a paper cut." "Implementing the rectangular select in list view would involve writing and testing new code. I agree that it would be a great fix to make, and it affects usability greatly, but it requires new code, which is what I mean by it being a new feature.

[Bug 49348] Re: List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse
For clarity here are the steps to reproduce it... 1. Open a folder in Nautilus using "Icon View" or "Compact View" 2. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor so that a selection box appears. Use the box to easily highlight multiple files. 3. Switch to "List View" and try step 2. 4. Be very annoyed as no selection box appears. To workaround this users have to... A. ...swith to "Icon View" or "Compact View" and perform step 2. B. ...remember the Ctrl hotkey. Hold down Ctrl and select the files one at a time. C. ...remember the Shift hotkey. While holding down the Shift, choose the 1st and last file. All files between (including the 1st and last) should be highlighted. I also think drag-select should be allowed in "List View". This will reduce the frustration level in newbies like me :-) while making nautilus easier to use.

[Bug 49348] Re: List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse
I noticed that the file panel in Brasero has this feature. But it is not very well done. Indeed, you have to first clic on the file to drag n drop it, otherwise it makes a rubber band. This is very annoying.

[Bug 49348] Re: List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse
Not sure If I should open a new thread on this, as this is related to file display modes. in the wishlist category, and relating to being able to select files with the rubber band box, I would like to see a view option offering a compact text listing of files, with just file names, in columns. As a programmer I view directories with hundreds and sometimes thousands of files in them, and I like to see as many as possible at a glance. This is basically one of the file view modes used in, ahem, one of those other operating systems. i.e. "list view" on, dare I say it, Windows. It's pretty useful and I think it would be a good addition to nautilus. -- List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
