Thumbnail Selection with Shift
Posted: 08.03.2009, 19:05
I am treating this as a bug but it may be that it was intentional behaviour (although unusual) in which case hopefully a mod will move this to 'feature requests'
When in thumbnail mode selecting a set of images that spans several rows it's usual for the Shift key to select contigious thumnails in the sequence displayed.
Freecommander however will select images in columns thus leaving out those that don't match the width and depth of the selection.
The usual behaviour in most (if not all) thumbnail browsers when using the shift key held down and clicking on first and last image, is to select ALL images in the display between the two images.
Currently it's a big pain to select a set of images in thumbnail mode as you then have to select all the missing ones using the CTRL key and on an individual basis.
Hope the explanation is clear.
