And here we are again with our weekly quotum feature request :)

Maybe i missed how this should be working somehow. Currently, selecting with 
CTRL+A is 'select-all'. But when renaming files, when there are also subfolders 
in the same place, it's a little bit tedious to always uncheck the folders 
after CTRL+A ('mark all' ).

How about a special shortcut like CTRL+SHIFT+A for 'mark all files-only' (and 
not the folders) ?

Probably with the respective menu entry.

I think it could as well be CTRL+A for 'mark all files' and the SHIFT thing for 
'mark really all', because in 99% of all my cases i need files-only, and i find 
it even hard to imagine when one would want to select files and folders 
together. I mean, moving to another place ? And how often does that happen ??
But renaming / moving just the files, happens all the time.

Which leaves the question if there should be a 'select folders-only' shortcut. 
Personally i don't need it and i bet it's even more rarely used than 
select-all. But YMMV. It could be added to the menu and left for a custom 
dynamic shortcut, in case someone asks for it. But i won't :)

This is of course no priority. But i imagine this cute little thing to be 
useful for just anyone.
