Another way to do it:
Select the gray box next to "old". The files under old *and* junk get
selected.
(de)Select the gray box next to "junk". This way only the file in "old" will
be selected.
But I agree with Jerry when he says that CTRL-click should still be
supported. Also it would be nice tho have a "Select All <ctrl-a>" option
under edit, at least on the win32 clients, just to keep up with the windows
explorer.
As for the gray/checked/yellow/partialy yellow/with a green dot box, it can
get confusing.
