Description

Add the ability to multi select roms / save states / favorites in the game library in order to,

  • Multiple delete
  • Toggle favorites (needs to ask if all on / all off if the states are mixed)
  • Restore artworks
  • Paste artwork (useful if have multiple hack versions of a ROM)

Need to:

  • Determine how to toggle multi-select (new edit button, sub menu item, gesture...)
  • Add selection indication background to cells
  • tvOS

Research direction
Examine the current game library implementation in the Provenance codebase, likely using UICollectionView. Look for existing selection behavior and how cells are configured. Check the tvOS target for any special requirements. Consider the design of the multi select toggle (e.g., adding an edit button to the navigation bar). Review any previous attempts or discussions in the issue comments.
