Description Javier G. 2008-06-27 16:11:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

By default dolphin in KDE 4.1 has a nice feature to select individual files in the folder clicking in a "+" that appears on the left corner. This feature isn't available when your mouse mode is switched to the "double click mode".

I see those details interesting for the usability of KDE 4, independently of what mouse mode was selected in system preferences.

I'm confused: this feature is not needed in the double click mode as clicking on the item anyhow selects/deselects the item. Am I missing something?

Comment 2 Javier G. 2008-06-27 16:59:37 UTC

double click mode works exactly like in windows
If you click a file/folder is selected only the file/folder you clicked.
To click multiple files/folders that aren't on the same row/column you must click Ctrl+ left click on every file/folder you want select.

I liked the idea of the "+" icon to not use the Ctrl key to select those files but is only available on 1 click mode (the default mouse mode of KDE4).

Ah, thanks for the explanation. OK, I'll fix this :-)

Thanks to you for reply very quickly :)

SVN commit 825325 by ppenz:

Also allow to use the selection toggle when double click is used. This allows to select/deselect files without CTRL key.
