Hi,

On 2xExplorer version 1.3.1.12                                                                                                                    nn
running under W2K sp2

In a pane, multiple-select some files.

If you right click on the files selected and chose open: all files open

If you hit <enter> with multiple files selected: only one file opens.

Feature or bug?

Thanks for help,
Alan Campbell

feature  :)

you'll be glad for that decision next time you accidentally hit on enter whilst having 1000 items selected in the windows directory. Using the right-click activation you indicate that you consciously and definitely want to open those 1000+ files!

enter on its own works on the focused item (the one with the dotted rectangle around it) --- even when nothing is selected

Hi Nikos,

Point taken.  I have indeed hit <enter> a bit too enthusiastically on occasion.
