Separate tree: Mouse behavior

So, what would happen in the case i describe above?

It would depend on the modifier state.

Sorry, i didn't get it. Do you mean "shift"? I assume that the user is trying to select the following by pressing shift.

The selection should be dictated by the starting point. If starting at a level 2 directory depth - select all level 2 directories, ignore the rest.

C:\Dir 1
C:\Dir 2
C:\Dir 2\Dir1
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir1
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir1\Dir1
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir1\Dir1\Dir1
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir2
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir2\Dir1
C:\Dir 2\Dir1\Dir3
C:\Dir 2\Dir2
C:\Dir 2\Dir3
C:\Dir 3

But is it really what the user will always want to select?

It should select that... otherwise there's trouble, as Lefteous said (name conflicts).

Yes but it's not what Lefteous has suggested here. His suggestion might be convenient in some cases, mine might be in other cases. There are both solutions to the problem (making the tree work in a better way) but i don't think there is a way to decide if one is better than the other.
