99% of apps out there do something called the extended selection. a click on an item will select, a click elsewhere will unselect. to retain/enhance selection, you make use of shift/ctrl click. both selection and de-selection should be easy, and an inclusive selection makes the latter part difficult (and also goes against the trend of other apps).

regarding the tri-state logic: you have feedback for execute, the mouse cursor turns into a hand-cursor when over the thumbnail. for the other two, users will have to learn it. and i don't believe its very difficult to become comfortable with it in a short period of time (without resorting to reading any manuals).   there are plenty of things in any app which are not obvious. for eg, how many new users will learn the concept of drag-and-drop on their own.
