Can't select mutiple files?

brodiemac - November 17, 2008 - 3:02pm

I want to be able to select several files for backup but Toucan doesn't allow the native CTRL-CLICK or SHIFT-CLICK to select multiple files? Am I missing something or is this a bug in the program?

Not

a bug, a feature, or rather the lack of a feature. I looked at doing this the last time it was requested, but didn't, I shall look at it again though and work out why I turned it down last time.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I also wanted to say that I am testing your latest release (version 4 I believe). If seems a bit faster and it doesn't hog the system resources the way the last stable release did. One thing I did notice though is when running a backup for a second time, Toucan had difficulty overwriting the previous .zip file:

this fixed in the final release (version 2.0.2)?
