actually it works the way you describe in SOME apps.

works as you discribe in:

- addressbook
- iphoto
- mail (mails and mailboxes)
- safari (in the bookmarks)
- ichat (in the buddy-list)

sadly doesn't work in:

- finder
- itunes

it's the same as with the interface-mess (aqua, metal, unified... uno saved me): consitency, apple! please!

regards, n.

Agreed! This is a PITA. Often I want to select noncontiguous selections in iTunes to drag over to the iPod. I have not found a method to do so other than selecting a large range and command-clicking to deselect. This is a major flaw in the app in my opinion.

Works fine in the finder.

iTunes does not do much correctly interfacewise, so its not surprising it does not work.
