Selecting directories and files
You can select multiple files and subdirectories within a directory in the tree view and the flat view of Corel File Manager. Selecting multiple files and subdirectories enables you to move, copy, cut or delete the selected files at the same time. You can select a group of files and subdirectories that display consecutively in the file list, or you can select multiple files that display discontiguously in the file list. You can select all the contents of a directory at the same time or invert your selection, so that all the files and subdirectories you have selected are de-selected, and the files and subdirectories that were not selected are selected. Inverting the selection de-selects the files and subdirectories if all the contents of a directory are selected.

2. Click a directory in the tree view or flat view to display its contents.
