Description Markus Elfring 2008-01-26 20:29:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I can "draw" a bounding box for multiple object selection on the desktop.
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-mouse.html.en#bounding-box-selection
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/mouse/index.html

But I do not get an indication from the widgets that some will be selected. I don't get the expected result after I drag a border around target candidates.

SVN commit 774352 by aseigo:

don't show the rubber band: it doesn't do anything these days. if/when we get multiple selection, turn it back on.

I would prefer to keep this report open as a reminder ...

I am curious when multiple selection will be supported.
See also the issue "possibility of selecting multiple items in plasma" (bug #156849).

Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-02-19 12:42:33 UTC

except ... there's already a wishlist item for that, and the specific problem in this BR has been addressed (namely the discrepancy between a rubber band selection and no multiple select).

and those two facts are why i closed this one. b.k.o is not your personal reminder board.

i'm closing this report (again) and marking it as a duplicate of #156849 which will get you cc'd to the item you want to follow.
