If one wants to select some images with the mouse, this is quite hard, because nearly all space in the right pane is linked to opening pictures. One has to find a tiny spot inbetween the pictures which is not part of an image's frame to click and draw the frame to select pictures. It would be very useful, if selecting/opening pictures would work like in konqueror.

To open the picture one clicks on the picture/thumbnail. To select it, one clicks on its information, i.e. in digikam's case the white space around the thumbnail itself.

This way one could easily select images in the middle of the right pane by drawing a frame.
