-it'll be very useful to have a way to apply new criteria and append other stuff to what currently is selected via CTRL+M, context menu > Select > Select Items. (Sticky Selection should NOT be part of the solution, since it works with a severe deal breaker for me as it currently is).
What about...?
Thanks!

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
That was planned anyway, and was already coded under the hood.
It will work like this:
1) hold SHIFT while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Add matches to current selections
2) hold CTRL while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Remove matches from current selections
This was my intuitive decision. Does everybody agree with SHIFT=ADD and CTRL=REMOVE?

No prob for me.
Code: Select all
This was my intuitive decision. Does everybody agree with SHIFT=ADD and CTRL=REMOVE?

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
It doesn't seem to jibe with the modifiers for drag-and-drop: Ctrl+left mouse button copies, which seems like adding to me; Shift+left mouse button moves, removing the file from the original folder.admin wrote:That was planned anyway, and was already coded under the hood.

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
Yes, I'm aware of this. But still I find it more intuitive as I did it. Probably because with manual multiple selection SHIFT is used to add more selections, and CTRL can be used to unselect a selected item.

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
(Too) Late to the party, but anyways...
That was/is my way of thinking, so much so that reading the log about this feature, I wondered why it had been done in reverse...
Anyways, is there I reason this only works while clicking OK? I mean, why not allow a CTRL+M, <type filter>, CTRL+OK to add (I mean remove, damnit! ) and no need to go grab the mouse
Not sure I agree with that (that it's more intuitive this way) (besides, you can use both CTRL and SHIFT to add, and both at once to add or remove items in a selection... ), especially since, when trying to think, I think of the icon used in drag&drop operation : CTRL == + (I think add); SHIFT == - (I think remove)admin wrote:Yes, I'm aware of this.

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
I'm absolutely open to changing CTRL and SHIFT, and given that jacky is always right, I should probably do it.jacky wrote:(Too) Late to the party, but anyways...

Yes, +ENTER of course!admin wrote:You mean CTRL/SHIFT+ENTER, yeah, I'll check that...
Also, I just assigned a KS to this thing (it should have one by default btw. Not sure which one, I used Ctrl+Alt+M but it's not free, however Ctrl+Shift+M is if I'm not mistaken), and upon trigger XY tells me "Function #256 not found!" I'm not sure what to say..?

Re: Append Function to Select Items, Selection Filter.
Erm.. I'm too late, but why didn't you just make this an option in the dialog?
