Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Add a shift+click multi-select to selecting podcast episodes from a particular feed. Meaning if I select a singular episode, then scroll down a ways, and shift+click another episode, it would select all episodes between the first selected episode and the last selected episode.

This behavior is standard in file browsers and email services, for reference.

Why would this be helpful?

I am trying to Mark as Read ~500 episodes of a 1000+ episode podcast. Without the ability to quickly multi-select, or at least more filtering options like show all episodes from 2015, 2016, and 2017" then we could just select all + mark as read, this will be an incredibly fragile and tedious process.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

No changes to UI are necessary. Just the logic that when selecting a podcast episode with shift+click after another episode was previously selected, all episodes between the two would also be selected.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.21.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I am looking at the episodes view of a single podcast.
