I have an update on this seemingly dead request here:

Look forward to this working finally in version 2.5!

John,

There are technical reasons why the project outline still doesn't support multiselect. Specifically, the tree is a Windows Tree View control, part of Microsoft's Common Controls library, but the control just doesn't support selecting multiple items. There are some hack-y solutions to fix this, but I'd prefer something that is "correct" rather than "fast and sort of working."

Honestly I hadn't thought about the issue in a long while, though. I'll start looking into a solution again. Thanks for bringing it back to the forefront.

Can't multi-select in project outline

It's occasionally quite a nuisance having to operate on one file at a time in the project outline list.
If, for example, I wish to recycle a project structure (same libraries, same options etc) to create a new project with new source files, it is a chore because I can't use multi-file selection when deleting files from the project outline.

SF is now so efficient in most things it does, so this is a bit out-of-character.
