Two things a tablet could not do. Both existed for a pointer and had no
touch form at all, which on Android meant the collection sidebar was
somewhere to look at rather than somewhere to file into.
**Selecting more than one.** Ctrl-click and shift-click are the only ways
into a multi-selection, and touch has neither. Holding a cell now enters
selection mode, where a tap toggles — reported to Rust as a ctrl-press, so
it goes through the same `apply_press` as everything else rather than
growing a second copy of the selection rules. A double tap takes the run
between where selecting began and there: the touch form of shift-click,
and the reason the anchor from *before* the double tap has to be
remembered, since both of its taps move the anchor onto the cell being
tapped. A "Select" button does the same thing where a gesture would go
undiscovered (FR-UI-4).
**Filing without a drag.** A one-finger drag beginning in the grid belongs
to the Flickable that scrolls it — that is the arbitration working, not a
bug to route around — so the selection can now be filed from a sheet
listing the sidebar's own rows. Copy by default, as the drag has always
been; moving out of the collection being shown is a switch, because it is
the one that takes something away.
**Taking a collection offline.** The machinery was there and reachable only
by scoping the grid to a collection and finding a button behind a
disclosure. Holding a collection's name now asks the question directly, and
the tray on a row and the header button ask the same one — three
affordances doing two different things is how a user comes to avoid all
three. The question is asked rather than a toggle flipped because both
answers are expensive: one downloads gigabytes, the other deletes them, and
the counts and sizes go in the buttons where they are read before the tap.
`Cache::release` is new and is the destructive half `unpin` deliberately is
not. "Remove the local copies" is asked by someone whose device is full,
and withdrawing a promise while leaving the bytes for a future eviction to
notice is not an answer to it. It unpins before forgetting, or the next pin
fetch would dutifully download everything it just deleted.
The sidebar's trays read `tier_actual`, never `tier_desired`: the question
is whether these will open on the aeroplane, and a pin whose download has
not run yet answers no.
