How to disable the full blue file rectagle selection?

Post by platanos »

Hello, in detail or list view when you try to select two or more files you have to use control or shift keys in keyboard, as with mouse is not possible due to the blue rectangle that appears as soon as you over the mouse in a file.

When you click with the mouse (even outside of the name of the file), xplorer automatically select the file and makes impossible to make normal selections like in Windows default explorer:

uncheck Full row selection in Tools/Options/Window (tab) and see if that works for you better
