2006-06-11 10:39:40 Adam Lindberg description When view files in Nautilus one can drag a rectangle around them to mark certain files. This is not possible in the list view of Nautilus even though there is usually a large white space in folders with few files that can make a user believe that dragging with the mouse there would produce the same rectangle as in icon view. I do it all the time by habit, and it is very annoying. Proposal: * Make it possible to drag a rectangle in list view. The problem is that starting to drag on a list item moves that item. Konqueror has solved this that you have to drag on the item name itself to move, else a rectangle marquee is started. Personally I find this quite efficient but may be annoying for less experienced users... When viewing files in Nautilus one can drag a rectangle around them to mark certain files.
