* Provides more mouse utility - you can select a region,
then operate on its files. Alternative ways to select
(mark) multiple files:
. drag a region, then choose Mark in the popup menu
. click, then Shift-click, as in Windows Explorer
. Control-click, as in Windows Explorer (alternately marks
and unmarks the file)
That sounds good. Would someone please install that feature?
* Provides fancy highlighting (customizable through user
variables).
. You can see immediately if a file has the wrong
permissions (e.g. writable or executable when it
shouldn't be).
That sounds useful, if it is reliable.
* When a file is marked, the entire line is highlighted.
* Files that are marked and files that are flagged for
deletion have the mark/flag highlighted differently.
Those features sound useful.
* The entire line is highlighted on mouse-over, regardless
of where on the line the mouse is. Click `mouse-2'
anywhere on the line to open its file or directory.
I don't understand that one.
