Allow selection of discontinous group of documents
Currently you can only select items in the tree if they are all at the same level. I'd like to select multiple items at any level.
Petko's concern about how a MOVE will work:
I think that if you select multiple items then a Move would work the same way it would if you selected just one: Sub items get moved with the main item.
If you select an sub-item of an already selected item such as:
- Project <selected> a. Task (1) Sub task <selected>
Then there are two options:
1. Powerful but complex: As described in previous post above, 1. and all it's sub items except for (1) and all of it's sub items would get moved to the new location. Likewise, (1) would be moved as well and now 1. and (1) would be siblings.
- Simple, less powerful: Do not allow sub-items of an already selected item to be selected. Or, even more intuitive, UNSELECT the Item when it's subitem is selected. _________________

UNSELECT the Item when it's subitem is selected... *definitely* more intuitive! Have you considered the idea of checkboxes on tree items? This would make it easier to define a discontinuous set of items. Hmm... maybe I'd better make that a separate suggestion.
