Nope, control+click modifies selection state, which is the default for a gtktreeview. I found that when dragging with the right mouse button things work but for the left mouse button the button-press event is used for selections etc. Don't really know how this should work but I got the feeling a lot of users are going to expect drag-n-drop using the left mouse button because this is how the iconview works and also how a lot of other programs behave. >>Also I have one wish-list item.

I.e. > http://foo-projects.org/~benny/tmp/thunar-list-view.png Yes and no. This is indeed the look I intended but there are some differences: A) The text besides the icons is wrapped to multiline when it is longer than X characters. This causes a lot of whitespace because it makes other items in the same row assume the same hight. Also there is a lot of spacing in the icon view which is still there when text is besides the icons. I put two screenshots in http://zoidberg.student.utwente.nl/~pardus/tmp/thunar_screenshots/ to illustrate this. But I'll admit this is a purely cosmetic wish-list item. B) The icon view is ordered left to right but when I'm visually scanning lists I expect a top to bottom order in the columns. Of course I can get used to scanning left to right, but it won't feel real natural for lists. Anyway, keep up the good work! -- Jaap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
