RE: [Evolution] Selecting multiple messages buggy

["Dave Anthony" <danthony roxolid com>]

oops. OK, I stand corrected.

I was letting go of the 'control' key when selecting the last file in the
second group.

and, just to double-check, it works in Outlook as well.

sorry for the confusion.

regards,

Hmmm ... Windows 2000 is one of the versions of Windows I *don't* have
installed here. But I'd be really surprised if this doesn't work on that
one version of Windows but does on so many others. Are you sure?

To recap -- to select multiple non-contiguous groups of file in Windows
explorer:

      * View -> List
      * click to select first file of first group
      * shift-click to select last file of first group
      * control-click to select first file of second group
      * shift-control-click to select last file of second group
      * you should now have two non-contiguous groups of files selected

That really doesn't work in Windows 2000?

Best, Darren
