Re: [Usability] rubberbanding in gtktreeview



I think rubberbanding in simple use of gtktreeview can be useful
sometimes...

For an example, using nautilus, it can be cool to sort files by (size ||
date || type), select files using rubberbanding and then drag'n'drop in
another window.

You can imagine the same things for example to sort kbps in mp3 files
or size Lxl in jpeg files...

* Only _one hand_, one mouse button, _no keyboard_ and two mouse click
to do that.

With "standard" table method you must click, shift on keyboard, click
again and then drag'n'drop.

* one more hand (two hands not three wouh!! :p), one more manipulation
...

Maybe it's not a good idea to add this directly to gtktreeview because
gtktreeview do really more than this "simple" usability and this
functionality can introduce bug and complexity in sourcecode.
Maybe another class using gtktreeview like :
+GtkTreeView
|
` GtkTreeViewRubberBanding

Can be the solution. Only first column can be selectable at any time
with rubberbanding. Others (on the right) are only here for information
(date/time/size/comment or anything you want...).

It is my opinion. I understand yours...

Bye.
