Bug Description
There should be an option to invert the selection in a Files window; this should be implemented in a right click menu (or in the <Edit> or <Tools> drop down menus in traditional menu bars).
Use case: I have a bunch of files inside a folder that I want to move (drag and drop) into another folder, but they are not ordered or sequenced in any way that makes block selections easy (ctrl - clicking). However, I know which files I want to keep inside the folder.
If this feature were implemented, I would select the ones I want to remain, right click and hit invert selection, and then drag and drop them into the new location.

There should be an option to select all files in the right-click menu as well.
Much easier to use right-click than Ctrl+A
