Hi,

When I renamed files pressing F2 or slow double clicking in the file, the name of the file used to be selected but not the file type, for example I have a file Movie.avi if I pressed F2 it just selected Movie not the .avi part, so it was easy changing names without messing the file types. But I found my 1 year old son smashing the keyboard and the mouse and has changed something beacuse now Flashfxp when I press F2 it selects the whole name MOVIE.AVI, so its a pain changing names now... I can't find the option or shortcut to enable this again... Please Help!!

I have Windows XP and Flash FXP 4.1.3 (build 1658)

Thanks!!

EDITED:

I have tried to post a reply but it doesn't let me, firtly I want to thank the reply and the help but I have checked if the shift key is stuck but it isn't I can perfectly write 2 instead of " (shift+key2), and I have also checked the sticky keys beacuse maybe it was that but it is disabled so it wasn't that either.

There must be a keyboard shortcut or option that enables / disables this, as nothing has changed just my son was pressing random keys and clicking the mouse, and before that worked and after it doesn't, so after cheking with another keyboard the only possible thing is that there is a shortcut or option that has enabled the extension selection.

This feature is really important for me so any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

most likely the shift-key on your keyboard is stuck, shift+F2 will select the whole filename.ext, where-as F2 will select just filename.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've checked as you adviced me if the shift key was phisacally stucked but it isnt, so i've even entered in the sticky keys option to disable it just in case it was that but it wasn't.

There must be some shortcut or some key combination that has disabled this option as it worked perfectly before and nothng has changed, just that my son started clicking keys...

This feature is quite important to me so please if someone has any clue it will be really appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but I've checked if the shift key was phisically stucked and it isnt or even it was set on the sticky keys but it wasnt, I can perfectly write 2 instead of " (shift+key2).

There must be an option or a shortcut that enables disables this option, because nothing has change, just my son pressed some keys and moved the mouse...

This feature is very important to me so any help will be really appreciated.

Thank you.
