[Bug 665511] [NEW] Gnome Baker does not allow drag and drop when multiple files selected

[Lem]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnomebaker

In the Gnome Baker file selector, when left clicking and dragging, a
rectangle file selection box occurs, even when a selection already
exists. This prevents me from dragging a selected range of files into
the project to be burnt to disc.

The selected range can be added to the project with the Add Files button
above the project, however this behaviour is totally unintuitive and not
consistent with the behaviour of the rest of the system (particularly
Nautilus).

For consistency of user interface, and improved discovery/intuitive
behaviour, my suggestion would be to default to drag'n'drop of the
multiple selection if a selected item is clicked on, and allow the
rectangle select mode to occur if a non-selected file is clicked on at
the start of dragging.

Hmm, maybe this is a wishlist item, though I consider it a usability bug
(papercut even, it made me angry like a papercut :P)
