Ctrl+Shift+"-" only deselects the files

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Ctrl+Shift+"-" only deselects the files

Post by *HPA »

From the History.txt file:
07.04.06 Added: If "Select only files" is checked, Ctrl+"+" selects all files, while Ctrl+Shift+"+" selects both files+folders

But the opposite Ctrl+Shift+"-" only deselects the files, the folders stay selected.

By pressing Ctrl+"-" the directories can be deselected.

Yeah bug:

Turn on "Select only files"
Press CTRL+Shift+Num+ and Everything is selected (wrong :!:)
but CTRL+Shift+Num- Deselects only Files (correct)

Press CTRL+Num+ and Files are selected (wrong :!:)
but CTRL+Num- Deselects Everything (correct)

Looks like something got mixed up there :?:

That is for backward comptability - TC has always deselected both folders and files using Ctrl+Num-, no matter if "Select files only" or "Also select directories" was chosen - so using Shift+Ctrl+Num- now does the opposite - that is: takes into account what you have configured for selecting files.

You are wrong. Using Shift reverses the configured behaviour, so if the configured behaviour is to "select only files" then pressing Ctrl+Num+ must select all files but NOT folders, while Shift modifies it to selecting ALL files AND folders when pressing Shift+Ctrl+Num+.

sorry I would find it better when the with wrong marked would be exchanged to make the behaviour "even"...
