Use Command-select and drag-select together
Authored by: Unsoluble on Oct 06, '05 01:29:37PM
Oops -- more clarification needed! Just realized that the previous poster was talking specifically about column view, which is something I never use, so I didn't notice that it doesn't work there. Or rather, only the drag-to-deselect doesn't work. Everything else is the same as in list view, it seems.

Use Command-select and drag-select together

Ephraim: in 10.3.9, it doesn't work in List view, either. Any drag in white space selects the file that's on the same line in the list, no matter how far to the right or left I try my dragging.

In fact, I can't even start a drag in the white space to the right of the rightmost column. In my case, it's the "Kind" column.

Could you clarify what you're saying there? When you say, "Any drag in white space selects the file that's on the same line in the list, no matter how far to the right or left I try my dragging," did you mean to say Any drag moves the file on the same line? Because it's supposed to select it... it's just that it shouldn't start moving unless your click was aimed at the filename itself.

And when you say you "can't even start a drag in the white space to the right of the rightmost column," what do you mean by "can't start a drag"? Can't begin to select/highlight more than one item? Or can't begin to move/copy the items that are already selected? Just trying to get things straight here. :)
