Hello,
I noticed when using
kde4 I couldn't drag files or folders to an empty space in the
window. I do this a fair bit to select the remaining files to copy or
move. This is the same in Dolphin and konq.


Today using kde3.5 I
had to move 60ish files and folders around. Two files were to be
copied to one drive, and the rest copied to another drive. I moved the
two files to the bottom of the window right clicked and copied no
prob. The rest of the files I banded and copied to the other drive
no prob.



My question is on kde4
I couldn't move the two files out of the way to select the rest. So I
would have to select them one at a time then copy. It might not be a
problem when moving files but sure is when coping files. Is there
anyway to resolve this? thanks

You can band-select everything, then use the +/- to deselect the ones you don't want (in KDE 3.5 and other systems you can do similar by ctrl-clicking to deselect individual items).

Ah that makes sense, I need to get up to speed with kde4.
Thanks for reply.

And if you are more used to shift-click and ctrl-click, that still works . Use whichever best suits you.
