What changed

Changed

• Only the checkbox selects; any other click or tap opens (#26, fourth
  round). In 0.41.2 a click opened only when it landed on the name itself — the
  reporter: "need to click precisely on name, if a lil bit on the right then it
  selects file, change it so if only clicking on checkbox it selects it, any
  other click will open." That is now the rule, with a mouse and on a phone
  alike:

  • A click or tap anywhere on a list row, grid card or gallery tile opens
    it — the name, the icon, the empty space to its right, the size and date
    cells — with or without a selection, and with Ctrl or Shift held.
  • The checkbox is the one click that selects. Shift on a checkbox still
    extends the range from the last tick. A right click or a long press still
    opens the menu; the star and the ⋮ button still do their own job.
  • Grid and gallery cards have a checkbox now. It shows on hover, when the
    card is focused or selected, and on every card once anything is selected —
    so on a phone a long press selects the first file and the boxes are there
    for the rest. In the grid it takes the type icon's place, so the name does
    not move; in the gallery it sits in the thumbnail's corner opposite the
    star. The recent and starred cards on Home have none: a click there opens,
    and there is no selection to add to.
  • On a phone the tap opens at the moment the finger lifts wherever it lands
    on the item (0.41.3 did that for the name only), so it never depends on the
    browser delivering a click.
  • Ticking a checkbox with the mouse leaves the keyboard focus where it was,
    so tick-then-Space quick-looks the file instead of unticking it again.
  • A double-click still opens only the first item: the second click lands on
    the listing that just opened and is ignored for half a second.

  For embedders: GridView and GalleryView take a selectable prop (default
  on) that draws the card checkbox; the click-row / click-card payload marks
  a checkbox click with check: true, and FilePane treats every other click
  as an open.

Fixed

• The release build of 0.41.3 stopped on a race in the SFTP server's test
  harness. Addr() read the listener while ListenAndServe was still
  assigning it, and an interface value read in the middle of that assignment
  can carry its type with a nil pointer — (*TCPListener).Addr then panicked.
  The SFTP and NFS servers (the same code) now guard the listener, and a
  Close that arrives before the listener is up no longer leaves it open.
  go test -race is clean on both packages.
