Selecting?

Post by MMFrLife »

I noticed "select all" under Edit and there is "ctrl + select each one individually".
What about grab select with mouse?

Thanks, Petr.

Just to give you something to think about, because I know the dev team doesn't have enough to think about already :wink: ,
I would "really" love to be able to mouse select around the middle to far-right horizontal direction of the columns layout in the
file list without the horizontal scroll shooting back far left just after the start of the grab. This is a huge pain in MM4.

I like to select things based on looking at column info that isn't always in the visible, left-most part of the file list.

Can you put what you "really love" it in picture?

It's kind of difficult to put into a picture, but it's easy to test in MM4.

First, in simple Details View, you need to have enough columns selected to where a considerable number of them are "not" visible without h. scrolling
to the right. Try it on a show details view where all of the columns are selected. Maybe you have that with Entire Library?

In the file list, slide the horizontal scroll over about 3 quarters towards the right. Now, grab/mouse select near the top downward.
As you start to slide downward, it should shoot back over towards the left. Having it "not" doing that is what I would love.

I tried in the Now Playing node in MM4 and no scrolling of any sort is happening. In a Collection it only scrolls horizontally back to the first column on MM4. Funny, never noticed this.
