Description ise 2009-10-14 10:25:25 UTC
When given the dialogue box to select the files to upload/download, it is only possible to check/uncheck one at a time.
A better way would be to allow multiple selections (using either shift or ctrl) and the ability to use space to
check/uncheck the selection in one go, as is the case with many other UIs.
Comment 1 Tomas Mysik 2009-10-14 11:52:38 UTC
Maybe, the "Search" field could help you - type e.g. "mydirectory" in it and then invoke the context menu and
Check/Uncheck All - all files and folders underneath "mydirectory" should be checked/unchecked.

I wasn't aware of this, and yes it does help somewhat, though this feature would still be preferred as it is quite a
long way round.

If this is considered an acceptable alternative (I know there are far more pressing issues), I will resolve the issue as
WORKSFORME.
Comment 3 Tomas Mysik 2009-10-14 13:35:13 UTC
I would suggest to keep this issue open but OTOH we have quite many issues and other enhancements, as you
can see... but keep it open, please.
