selecting multiple files for copy/cut/delete

Such a limitation would make the multiselect useless for moving and copying files between directories. You probably wanted to say:

Such simplification is reasonable. I think that selection inside single directory is sufficient in most of the cases of use if you will be able to select directories beside files.

Yeah that's what I was going for. The difficulty will be finding somewhere to store the selected items and figuring out some way to display the selection. Check marks or something similar in the list view might work for display. As for where to store the selection, perhaps a flag could be stored against the file entry in dircache? Would make this a dircache only feature though.
Chronon:
Including this information in dircache does seem reasonable. I have a hard time imagining that people wishing to navigate between directories for bulk copy (etc.) operations will not have this turned on already.

If I understand it correctly, this limitation

is no longer valid, with an additional flag in dircache, isn't it?
The ui selection is made in the list view, but the information, which item is selected is stored in dircache.

Please provide a prove to your accusation. If you can't then I expect an excuse from you.
You can quote my post, but please don't quote some nonsense from yourself and then say I said it.
And, please respect this forum's rule and stay on topic. This thread is about multiselection.

That was a general "you" not a specific. You said the code guidelines were preventing work from being included, my statement was only that they don't prevent it. Authors choosing not to follow them prevents it.
As for on-topicness, I was responding to a post in this thread. I suppose if you follow the transitive property, it's your original statement that was off-topic. Someone's free to split these, of course.
