I wanted to know if this functionality is somewhere to be enabled. Currently, when selecting some files on a panel, then clicking the other one, then clicking back on it, it deselects everything that was highlighted.
I know that clicking on the title bar avoid this and also that in "Power Mode" selection behaves in another (stranger for me) way. What I'd really love is for it to work as in Xplorer2 "Eat the first click..." that would prevent the first click (focus) on the panel to change the file selection.
That'll work when activating the window itself, but not when the window is already active and you're changing between tabs within the window.
There isn't currently a similar option for when switching panels in an active window. You need to click the panel title bar, folder tab, or scrollbars -- or push the tab key -- to switch sides without affecting the selection.
In delicate cases, you can also use the checkbox mode, which is great. Here´s
a code, which will toggle the checkbox mode & if done, toggles back to the
normal view with maintaining all selected files:
@ifset: CHECKBOXMODE=Toggle
Select FROMCHECKS
Set CHECKBOXMODE=Off
@ifset:else
Select TOCHECKS
Did this ever get implemented? I used "xplorer 2" for a long time, and it's a great function. (Not that it compares overall in any way, but that function was excellent.)
