Sorry What I gave was a little rudimentry...
The issue becomes more apparent when more files are being selected I'll attach a screenshot so that it becomes more clear. Try to recreate the following scenario found in the attachment screenshot. If in windows (or any other desktop environment / OS) I would select logos -> case oakland university, then ctrl+select case_ubuntu locatrix_v1.pdf, then ctrl+select fables_01_aesop.spx, then ctrl+shift+select oo-about-these-files.odt (this would select everything in between), then ctrl+select oo-derivatives.doc, then ctrl+shift+select oo-presenting-ubuntu.odp. currently in nautilus, it doesn't work this way, as once you have selected file(s), you cannot reselect many files using shift without losing your current selection, or if you use ctrl+shift which most users would attempt to do, you may only select one file at a time. I hope this makes it easier to understand... I'm not very sure on the terminology / a better way to explain, and am trying to do the best I can. Please DO point out better ways to explain it / any questions you have. ** Attachment added: "gnome nautilus multiple file selection" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16376404/Screenshot.png -- ctrl doesn't work when used in conjunction with shift click for multiple file selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
