Cannot select multiple files when importing files #574

Description

When I import external audio files to Pocket Casts I expect to be able to multi-select them in order to import in bulk. The UI seems like it should support this after I long hold a file, but then only allows me to select one file for import at a time.

I have a series of talks in about 100 different audio files which I have to import one at a time instead of being able to bulk select and import them at once, which is enough of a UX burden that I won't bother using Pocket Casts to listen to this particular series.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Open Pocket Casts on Android.
  2. Click "Profile" on the bottom right.
  3. Click "Files" in the menu which appears.
  4. Click the "+" button on the bottom right to add files.
  5. With multiple audio files available on your device, select the "audio" type on the top bar.
  6. Long hold on a file.
  7. Observe that "1 selected" appears on the top of the screen, seeming to indicate that you could have "2 selected".
  8. Click another file to select more files for import.
  9. Observe that this undoes your prior selection, selects the next file, and you still see "1 selected" on the top of the screen.

I don't think it's a bug, I think it's intentional because of no way to do multiple renames, but I have one bit of advice if you can put these pods on your PC you can use the webapp to batch upload 😉, at that I wouldn't mind this being a feature:)
