Ah, that's too bad then... I won't bother you with it again, I only use 
the icon view as a thumbnail viewer so I didn't notice the same 
behavior...  Some day I might be able to patch my own Thunar to get this 
'select next item on delete' thing...

Until then, I'll try to select multiple files when sorting out a 
directory (and hoping not to lose the selection premature)...

Thanx anyway,

Harold.
