Version: 3.5.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.4.4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer OS: Linux I have the 'Open File' dialog box and need to select multiple text files to be opened. So I select the first file, hold down the Shift key and select the last file. But Kate doesn't do what I want. Instead it selects a bunch of files AND directories that happen to be inside the geometric rectangle defined by my selection points. I saw this in Versions 3.3 and 3.4 and was pretty sure people would catch this by 3.5. Nope. Hence my bug report now.
Reassigning to kio/kfile. But maybe it should really go to k/qiconview?
I'm afraid, we either have to find a way to "fix" QIconView's selection behavior or simply use a different view. QIconView's behavior is simply not what people expect.
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
