From: Merciadri Luca on 3 Jun 2010 06:40 Hi, In a directory, using the `List' mode of Nautilus, how can I select `continuously' files from one to another? I.e. let's say that I have == file1 file2 . . . filen-2 filen-1 filen == I would like to select files from file1 to file filen-2. To do this, I would like to select file1, to maintain some touch, and to select filen-2, simply. (I know that, in this case, it would be better to select all the files and then deselect filen-1 and filen, but this is an example. How can I?

In this case, normally, the files in the related zone are selected. When you're in list mode, Nautilus lets you drag & drop at the place of using area selection, if you have too many columns showing properties such as last mod date, etc. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

OK, that's what I thought. > In this case, > normally, the files in the related zone are selected.
