Is it possible to select multiple files without having to click on each one? I have a list of files sorted by track #. All files missing a track # are at the top. Do I have to click on each of 200 or so files with ctrl held down to select them? I can't seem to get it to select multiple files by clicking and dragging. Is there another way I'm missing?
This is a great program, thanks!

Ok I figured it out. I click on the first file I want selected, then hold shift down and scroll to the last file I want selected, then click again. Everything in between is highlighted. Perfect!

Glad you figured it out, but you should be aware that every Windows application on the planet behaves in exactly the same way.

Obviously, I'm from another planet 😉
