Scott -- The tree isn't representing traditional files and folders,
so the design is wide open. I can do whatever I want (though I'm
sure the developers would like it if some components were steal-able
from common JS frameworks!).
Brandon -- thanks; I think that's what Mac OS does, but given that
my users didn't understand the square mixed value indicator, I'm
worried that they won't understand a dash either. It's a bit risky,
since I can't test again.
Bryan -- while playing around I added a total count at the bottom of
the tree ("104 selected") but perhaps I need to go further in your
direction, by listing them out directly. The problem is the number of
items in the tree: it could range between 1 and 3500 (sigh). If they
did a "select all" on the tree, that would be one massive list on
the right!
I think I'll still play around with that concept though... I agree
my best bet may be to get myself out of the standard tree entirely.
Thanks all!
Meredith
