Picking up multiple items from ground

[Sarge]

Right click drag box around items on ground - picks up all in some sequence when RMB is released (like to inventory) 'till inventory is full, or for more than one item type in box...
Brings up an item display box for items in dragged square and you can select items to be collected...

or something like that, iso having to pick up items by carefully right clicking one by one? especially arrows, straw, plant fibers, meat & intestines

No need for the drag - just try to pick up every object in the selected tile; this would also reduce the annoyance of trying to click precisely on the one or two pixels that show between crops etc.

This might actually make archery bearable.

Click + drag to form a selection box is used in some other programs. Might not be too bad.

[Onionfighter]

Try click + dragging an item in your inventory. It's weird.

[Jackard]

Uh what about it.

Hmm this could be useful for more than picking up multiple things. You could highlight multiple items in your inventory with it and then transfer them all with SHIFT+click or drop them all with CTRL+click.

Or if rightclick is modified according to that suggestion from another thread (perform default action instead of call radial menu), you could say highlight a bunch of apples and then eat them all with a single rightclick.

Thats some great idea, reminds me of windows' copy and paste system. If its just as easy it will definitely improve the game.

i recognized that newbs often try to drag and drop stuff from containers to the inv and so on... but i guess a drag box combined with jackards ideas would be really good aswell...
