I'm addicted to selection by checkbox. I want to enable it always and forever. Yet every time I navigate to a new folder it turns off. I searched in the preferences and found nothing. Checked the FAQ, too.
This seems simple (even windows explorer has it now, though it's not as cool), but I can't figure it out.
This seems to be a transient mode, since there is no fixed option in the folder settings, nor is it possible to save it as part of the default lister
(Unless there is a trick to achieve this).
Maybe you can file a request to GPSoft, to include this as an permanent option.
