This pull request introduces several usability improvements and bug fixes for the video dashboard and player. The main updates include enhanced multi-selection support using shift-click in the dashboard, improved drag-and-drop file handling, and better detection of network stalls during video seeking. These changes improve the editing workflow and playback reliability.

Dashboard and Selection Improvements:

• Added shift-click support for selecting ranges of videos in edit mode. Users can now select or deselect contiguous ranges of videos by holding shift, similar to file explorers. The selection logic tracks the last selected video for intuitive range selection. (Dashboard.js, CompactVideoCard.js) [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Reset the selection anchor (lastSelectedIdRef) when exiting edit mode to avoid unexpected range selections. (Dashboard.js)

File Upload Handling:

• Updated drag-and-drop logic to support uploading multiple files at once by calling openFiles with the full array of files, instead of only the first file. (GlobalDragDropOverlay.js)

Video Player Stability:

• Improved playback stall detection by distinguishing between genuine network stalls and expected "waiting" events during user seeking. The player now ignores "waiting" events triggered by seeking to unbuffered regions, preventing unnecessary quality downgrades. (VideoJSPlayer.js) [1] [2] [3] [4]

Other:

• Bumped the app version from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 in package.json. (package.json)
