I can drag one file from one dir to another. If I select more then one file (ctrl-click) i cannot drag all of them because once i ckick the mouse on any of the selected files, all others are deselected. it's pretty annoying :) btw, i'm using 4.2.2 but it's not on the list of versions so i chose 4.2.1.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open xffm 2. navigate to a directory with more then one file in it 3. select a file 4. press and hold control 5. select more files 6. try to drag them all anywhere :) Actual Results: all but one file deselected Expected Results: drag all selected files (to another folder or whatever) if you need more info, just ask
Sorry. Not a bug. Default gtk beaviour. You have to start dragging *without* releasing the button when the last item is selected. In version 4.2 you can choose to disable the default gtk select mode and use a select mode where items are not unselected on mouse release. There have been many complaints on the gtk list because of the behaviour of selecting on press instead of release (like qt does), but they don't care. In 4.3 the option to replace the gtk selection mode is removed, the default gui is iconview where selection works the way you and I would expect it to. .
thanks for explaining, i could even get used to dragging right after the last selection, though now i'm looking forward to xfce 4.3 even more :)
