Hello all, let me tell you what happened to me today. I was going to copy all but one file from a folder to another in the Filer, and so I did a "select all" and then <ctrl>-clicked away the selection on the file I wanted to exclude, and began to drag the files - except that every time I tried to do this the selection kept resetting to a single file! I kept trying this over and over, thinking that my wireless keyboard's batteries must be going out or something, not understanding why it wasn't working. After minutes of frustration I eventually discovered that the selection is reset if you hold <Ctrl> while dragging, which was what I was doing from the deselection operation. Now I might be the only one that will ever run into this problem - I don't know - but considering a lot of focus selection happens through <ctrl>-clicks right before drag-and-drop operations, might it not be wiser not to reset selection on <crtl>-drag? Just a thought, -Kacper -- http://kacper.doesntexist.org http://windows.dontexist.net There is symmetry in chaos, and chaos in excessive order. |
