Title:
Should be able to select files with lasso instead of rectangle
Status in Nautilus:
Expired
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
It should be possible to select files by drawing a lasso around them,
instead of holding down Ctrl while drawing a bunch of rectangles.
Often you want to select a block of icons, but not a few in either
corner. So this requires you to drag 3 or 4 rectangles when it would
be easier to just outline the ones you want. Also would be easier to
grasp for the less technically-inclined.
The line that you draw should be simplified as you draw it, on the
order of the size of the icons, so as not to be all messy, and it
should be possible to "backtrack". If you draw backwards within a
certain width of the line you already drew, it will erase it, so as to
de-select something you accidentally went around.
