Multiple selection tickbox needs a re-think

[philipjackson]

The only effect of the "Select Multiple Images" button is to produce a delete button. It doesn't affect the ability to select multiple images; that is done by ctr/shift clicking with or without the tickbox activated.

We need to display the delete button whenever any images are selected, regardless of if the "select multiple" box is checked. In which case, the only remaining purpose for the "select multiple" box would have no remaining purpose, and we should just replace it with a delete button that's always there. Or we could leave it in and have it enable single-click multiple selections (which it currently does not do), giving users a way to select multiple without using the keyboard.

Thanks for explanation above. I picked up on this yesterday. I wrote in my notes:

"“Select multiple images” doesn’t do what I thought it would. What difference does this button make to selecting the thumbnails I want, because I still have to hold Ctrl to select multiple?"
