FreeCommander Forum

Hi, I'm using the recent version of FC with Vista Home Ultimate 32 bit.

In Windows Explorer I used to suffer from the bug that I couldn't select individual files by CTRL-Leftclick.

Now that I've successfully fixed this "Windows Explorer single select bug, I still can't select multiple individual files with Free Commander.

Bug or feature? How can I select multiple individual files with FC? Thanks.

Ctrl+left-click works good here (Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit). If you're using NC-Mode, make sure the option "Extended selection with Shift and Ctrl" (in Settings > Select items) is enabled.

You can select items also with Shift+arrow keys, Insert, Space and others to select all files, all files with same extension etc.

Sorry, "Home Premium". All this marketing gibberish has me confused ...

Good to know that this isn't a bug of my valued FreeCommander.

Thanks for the hint, Dreamer.

I hadn't used NC-mode before.

Now when I switch it on and enable "Extended selection ...", CTRL-leftclicking still won't work.

It seems that my Vista is doomed ...

Yes, I think so, sorry, I can't help you with that, but perhaps Google??

@Gyro --
I can duplicate that behavior, both on XP and on Vista HP 64-bit, but I don't know if this is what you are seeing.

If I have only checked "Select files in NC mode" and no other options, I can not select more than one file at a time.

If I turn on "extended selection with Shift and Ctrl", then Ctrl + Left-Click works to make multiple selection.

If I turn on "Select with Right mouse button" AND "extended selection...", then I can make multiple selections with Ctrl + Left-Click, OR with just Right-Click. (then to get Context menu, need to use Ctrl + Right-click).

So for me, I must turn on at least one other option in addition to "Select files in NC Mode".

Are you sure you have the "Extended Selection" option turned on?

granny - this behavior is normal, Gyro said before that NC mode was disabled, also then it should work, so I think it's some kind of virus/ad/spy/bad-ware, or Windows bug, but I don't remember any such a bug.
