Hi.

Is there a way to select multiple files that reside in different directories? I can't find a way to navigate the directory tree without loosing the current selection.

Via the Catalog. You collect your files inside a new Catalog Category via drag+drop, then right-click the Category and do "Copy All Items in Category".

OK thanks, close to what I need, but the files do not seem to be selected in a way that allows me to right click the selection and access the context menu. I am looking for a way to select two files in two different directories and then right click and select "WinMerge" from the context menu to do a diff between the files.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Ah, I see. Yes there is in fact a way to do it. See http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 2136#22136

I never looked at the catalog for something like that, stumbling over this has now actually solved a similar problem I've had for a while!
Just wonderful, thx :D
