Yes, but there is habitually no interest in selecting a file by its attributes. It would be better to be able to use area selection in this zone, at the place of reserving it for drag & drop too, where the whole window's content (the window being assumed to be filled with files) is already in drag & drop mode. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
