As a user I want to click and double click items in Filux to have specific actions happen..

Single click will select the file or folder clicked.
Double click on a file will open the file for preview.
CTRL + Click allows the selection of multiple files.
Click to select one, the Shift + click will select all files / folders between the first and second selections.
For multiple selected files, I need a way to have the actions I would have if I had clicked the 3-dot menu for one file.
For multiple selected folder, i need a way to have the actions I would have if I had clicked the 3-dot menu for one folder.
If both folders and files are selected I need the options as follows: 'Compress to zip archive', 'Move', 'Download', 'Share all selected', 'Add Selected to New Folder'.

'Compress to zip archive' will compress all files into a zipped archive. We should ask the user what to name the zipped file.We should provide feedback for events as follows:
- When the archive begins.
- When the archive ends.
- if the archive has errors
- progress of the archive.
'Move' - move all selected files and / or folders to the user designated location.
'Download' - Create a compressed archive of the selected files, ask the user for a 'Name for the download', and apply that name to the archive zip file, then start the download of the zipped file.
'Share all selected' - will perform the same share action as it would for a single file, but be applied to all selected files.
'Add selected to new folder' will create a new folder (prompt the user for the new folder path and name), then move the selected files and folders to the new folder.
