Selecting games with CTRL while in size on disk mode?

[Coffee]

I miss the old design where you could see all in detailed mode and select multiple game using CTRL then clicking on each games you wanted to select to uninstall a bunch at once.

Now you can't do that even with a size on disk game collection. You can't select multiple games at once AFAIK in that mode.

That is a useful way to select multiple smaller games you want to uninstall to gain some space for another game you want to instal.

Any idea if you can and i'm missing something?

It never worked since the redesign.

Ctrl click has worked totally fine since the redesign use the side library bar for mass selections

Am I understanding that what you are asking is on the Home page not in the sidebar?
If so I can agree there is no option like that you can select on the sidebar and pick by name, even that as the order by the disk is on the right I do think will be useful to be able to pick more then one there as well

If that is what you meaning what you can do is drag them to the top and make a collection and then mark all that collection to be deleted or the like I think

I'm guessing OP is referring to the view of shelves on the Home page of the Library. In that regard, no, you cannot select multiple titles from the shelves.

You can still do it from the game list as you can see in my screengrab below.

As Black Blade says, you can drag titles. Make a new collection called "DELETE" or something. View your game by "size on disk" in a shelf on the Home page. Then you can click and drag the title from shelf and "drop" it into this new "DELETE" collection. Then when you have all that you want to delete in that collection, ctrl/shift-click all of them and right-click, manage, uninstall.

Yeah that's the workaround for now. It's seriously annoying tho. Was great to select directly in the listed view with size showing like before. Now you can't, you have to select it via the list on the left instead of directly on the game.

Kinda annoying when you have so many games.

I wish they can update it someday!

They really should have kept List View in the Steam client.

It sucks that they didn't.

It would make the most sense here -- you can see and even arrange all your games by size on disk while seeing a bunch of other information about them. Then, as a list, it'd work well with multi-selection.
