Allow Click and slide selection (like in a classic file viewer)

[artonge]

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to be able to select multiple images at once by click and sliding like in a classic file viewer.

Also other usual methods of multi-select like hold shift to select all photos in between the first and the last selected photo

Which describes the desired functionality for files

I've just started working with Photos on NC 26, and ran into this as well. My use case:

I come back from an event with 300+ photos and want to make an album out of them - am I truly supposed to click on 300 individual photos in order to add them? Or am I missing something?

With NC 26 there are multiple ways to select ranges of files which all seem to be gone with NC 28.
