Comment #3 by Tony MOREHEN:

Go ahead please make the change.

Another inconsistency in behaviour:
Columnview/Gridview have three ways to select multiple items with a mouse -- control-click, click and drag, and click plus shift-click. Iconview only has two, control-click and click and drag.  I'm doing some work here and will upload some suggested code (maybe a pull request) in a few days.

I'm paying close attention to these issues because I'm developing a file explorer application and selection is an important part of usability. Adding click plus shift-click to Iconview, lets me consider disabling click and drag, which makes improves the handling of drag and drop of single files.  (Currently, to do drag and drop of a single file, you must click and release then click and drag).  I've attached a screenshot of gbExplorer.
