</div>If you check carefully the Gnome Documents application, you'll see that<br>
the "Selection mode" button is there too... which makes sense: otherwise<br>
nobody will think of right-click to select items.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>As said on the IRC chat, the selection mode is meant for touch input only. It would be activated using right-click if the operating system automatically converts a long-tap into a right-click (as I don't have a tablet, I have no way to test this).</div>
<div>Long-push to select is a standard on all of the major touch-based operating systems, so it should be discoverable for tablet users.</div><div><br></div><div>Mouse users will select objects using an on-hover checkbox, just like in various web applications, and the Marlin and Dolphin file browsers. They won't use the selection mode.</div>

To keep consistent with that idea, we may not want to show the check<br>
boxes when hovering on items, but only in selection mode.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not sure what you mean by this.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

I'm also pretty annoyed by that pseudo-Macos look of the filtering<br>
buttons... couldn't we have something less inspired from some<br>
OS-specifics?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Fun fact: the filtering buttons were based on Gnome's new design approach [1] -- nothing to do with Mac OS X. I was assuming that it is a standard GTK+ widget, as the widget plays an important part in Clocks + some other planned Gnome applications, and that the GTK+ guys already have a way to theme it based on the OS.</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, as it turns out that it's not that simple, I'd definitely agree on adopting a regular tabbed widget instead.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
Changing these buttons into something less<br>
visually-imposing would also give some more importance to the Selection<br>
Mode button.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>As above, please keep the Selection mode button hidden.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

Any quick though? Remember that you asked me to enable it as<br>
non-experimental feature for 4.0 and we need to come up with something<br>
definitive soon ;) </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
