File View request

Post by diarrhio »

Is it possible to change the selection mode of the File View listbox?

I think right now it's in "Multiple" mode, but it is very annoying to use (no offense). It doesn't behave the way most things in Windows do (which it would if it were in "Extended" selection mode). Clicking on an item should clear all other selections and select only the item you click on; shift-clicking selects the range between the "anchor" item (the first selected item) and the item you just clicked on; and ctrl-clicking toggles the selected state of the item you click on. XY's File List works like this. I think the File View listbox should do the same.

Right now, it's more of a toggle/accumulate selection where clicking on an item toggles it's selected state. Shift-clicking selects a range, but it doesn't deselect anything outside of the item you just clicked on and the "anchor" item. Ctrl-clicking seems to have no different effect than regular clicking.

It would be nice if it behaved that way by default, or at least was made on option.

Thanks again,
D

Absolutely! Thank you, that's one of those dusty old parts stemming from the last millenium...
