Suggestion

In addition to the Name, Total Size and the completely unnecessary Download Priority columns, I ask that you consider adding a file extension column.

Use case

I need to download files of only a certain format:

The easiest way to do this would be to sort by file type and deselect file sequences using Shift + LMB and Space.

There's a search filter: *.ext

Wouldn't work in all cases. Files with that extension could be in different folders and doing that would deselect the whole folders.

There is no solution for all cases. But there are solutions for everyone. In this case, it is an obvious solution to understand and use, understandable to anyone who has ever used any graphical file managers or tables, and does not require inventing complicated mechanics, such as regular expressions. Is this an improvement over the current implementation? Definitely yes. Especially when the distribution, as in the given example, consists of one or more folders with files. Can we do without it? Of course, we can, as well as without many other improvements to this window. Including displaying file sizes. Or priorities.
