[QUOTE="remain, post: 472515, member: 23182"] Whoops, missed this post the first time. Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "select from A to B" is superior to and should replace "click and drag" + "Command click." (but not the opposite either) Obviously, there are cases where it is best to use the latter. However, there [b]are[/b] situations where "select from A to B" is more convenient. For instance, imagine if you wanted to select Folder 6 to 19 (in a folder set to "Keep Arranged by: Name"), as illustrated here: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/mac_finder_multiple_selection.png[/IMG] In this case, clicking Folder 6, then Shift clicking Folder 19 is clearly faster than a combination of "click and drag" and "Command clicking." I'm not saying one should replace the other. It's just that depending on the situation, one can be more useful than the other. [/QUOTE]
