    Though this isn't possible in Windows, I'd like to have this behavior in C1 Windows version too.

    C1 behavior in the browser isn't adhering to the Windows (Explorer) behavior anyway.

    I also voted for this request. And got curious about 

    Though this isn't possible in Windows

    You mean, "in Windows Explorer", generally in Windows or "in C1 Windows version"?

    Was not sure about and tried (I'm switching daily between Mac and Win). So, SpeedCommander can do it, Explorer can do it, Adobe Bridge can't do it (surprise...) but XnView Classic can as well do this "selection with gaps in between". Thanks for making me check, didn't know that :)

    Throughout almost all of the Mac interface, I can make a selection of contiguous objects, then hold Command to add a discontinuous object, and then Shift to extend that second group.

    JoJu, if you do this in Windows Explorer (Win10), you will loose the first group. But maybe I understand it incorrectly.

    That's what I understood:
    Select a file, Shift-click a file below, forming the first group, CTRL-click a file down below and Shift-click another file even more below, forming the second group.

    I am doing it in Windows Explorer of Win 10. Windows 10 Enterprise, 21H2

    But I misunderstood that bit with using the shift key to expand the second group. What I did was

    Selecting files with CTRL+click, then holding the CTRL key and click+hold primary mouse button and drag it over the next files, this even works if I add more groups to the selection.

    Windows 10 Pro, 22H2

    That's a novelty to me :-) 

    Issue is that it works only once. I need to create a new Explorer window that it again works exactly once.

    EDIT: And even then not reliably.

    How does it work on the Mac? Like so?:

    Select a file, Shift-click a file below, forming the first group, CTRL-click a file down below and Shift-click another file even more below, forming the second group.

    I would like to post a screen video, but .... hmmm ... gif is possible?

    I can repeat that over an over, as long as I keep the CTRL-key pushed

    Got it, thank you.

    My fault was I did not pay attention if the mouse is over the file name. If it is, a drag event is triggered.

    Windows guy here, using keyboard. When selecting an additional group, Ctrl+Space on a first file in group, navigate to the last file in group while holding down CTRL (arrows, PgUp/PgDn, whatever else), Ctrl+Shift+Space on that file to confirm selection. The same with mouse clicks: click while holding Ctrl for an individual selection, hold Ctrl+Shift to select continuous group since the last selection/click. Holding only Shift would discard selections preceding the last click.

    After checking, this flow is not possible in C1P's Browser, so upvoting.

    CTRL+SHIFT + mouse click lets you select the end of an additional group without deselecting the previous ones in Windows Exporer, I learned something new, thanks.

    Yes, this would be great to have in C1.
