Bug Description
It should be possible to select files by drawing a lasso around them, instead of holding down Ctrl while drawing a bunch of rectangles. Often you want to select a block of icons, but not a few in either corner. So this requires you to drag 3 or 4 rectangles when it would be easier to just outline the ones you want. Also would be easier to grasp for the less technically-
The line that you draw should be simplified as you draw it, on the order of the size of the icons, so as not to be all messy, and it should be possible to "backtrack". If you draw backwards within a certain width of the line you already drew, it will erase it, so as to de-select something you accidentally went around.
