Greetings--
I think I just stumbled on a little glitch in xplorer² (1.0.0.2 [Unicode]).
Here are the steps to reproduce this:
1) Select one file with any extension in a folder.
2) Hold Ctrl down and click on the name of another file with same extension in the same folder. Both files are now selected.
3) Still holding Ctrl down, click on one of the 2 previously selected files. It gets de-selected but there remains some kind of ghost frame around its name. You end up with 1 file selected (highlighted in blue), and another with a kind of ghost "de-selection mark".
4) Now if you press ENTER, the file that gets opened in the associated application is the one with the ghost frame, not the one with blue highlighting.
Note that this is not happening in Windows Explorer.
File Selection Glitch

you are in a situation where the focused item (the one with the rectangle) is not selected.
when you hit enter, x2 opens the focused item, not the selected item
this is by design; e.g. if you have 10 items selected and hit enter only the focused one will open.
To open all of them you must use "open" from the context menu

Thanks for explaining. In the future, I'll make sure I don't leave focus on unselected items.
