Unexpected email behavior

scottb2 · Post by **scottb2** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:37 pm

If I select a file in the document selector pane, and then click on File->Send, an Outlook window appears ready to send my file. If I select more than one file (with ctrl-left click), then click on File-Send, I get (drum roll please), *one* file to be sent. I would have expected all of my selected files to be sent. Bug or feature?

Feature vs "undocumented feature," I cannot comment but I can verify that I see the same behaviour. It sends only the first item to have been highlighted. I thought perhaps it'd have queued up my three items to send but that was not the case. I selected multiple items and hit print and it only printed the document with focus so if I were to make an assumption, it is working as intended. I'll admit one would think it'd apply to all selections but it appears that functionality is limited to the options of the context menu in the document selector.

Since most other programs perform an operation on all selected files, this is unintuitive behavior. I'd really like to see this fixed. It is a pain to have to use a different program just to email multiple files.

How does reporting a bug (my opinion, of course) work here? Do the moderators scan this list for problems or do I have to post the problem somewhere else, or what?

You'll find the "TextPad feedback form" over here.
