Multi Commander > Support and Feedback

mouse file select / activate

<< < (2/3) > >>

Norbert:
Thanks Mathias and Jungle for your explanations and your videos, Jungle!

I have done as you suggested, but please let me try to explain what the missing part is:

I can do the one-click opening/activation alright, as in explorer.
But if I then try to select files by pressing the ctrl-key and left-clicking files, they should get selected (or unselected), but the one click opening does not allow that, instead opens the file or folder. I can then go back to the original folder and see the files/folders selected, but that is not as expected.

Hope I could make myself understood.
Thanks for your efforts.

Norbert

Have "Single Click" open/enter active and Windows Explorer compatibility settings on, might not be a good combination. I there you will always get a some wired conflict there,  since you can not select file correct without starting it or entering a folder.. maybe move the file selection to the right mouse button. and shell context menu to right button double click..?

Norbert:
Your suggestion with the right click works nicely and is certainly an alternative. Thanks!

It might be still a good idea to emulate the behaviour of the explorer more closely, if you should  find time to implement this. It would be of help for all people who have to switch between ms explorer and multi commander.
Just a suggestion. Multi Commander seems like a great program anyway.

I have been using this setting since more than a month now and my experience is:
Yes, the workaround as suggested can be used.
Still, it would be much nicer to have the real thing, i.e. MS explorer - one click functionality like the original (LMB one click activation, RMB one click context menu).
Any chance for an improvement in a later version?
Many thanks.

Just to be clear.

You want to be able to have

LMB - Open file / Open Folder
RMB - Context Menu
LMB + Ctrl - File Selection

Will check if that can be added without interfere with other setups.
