Selection assistant - Unmark All - Only on selected

Post by phila »

|There seems to be some confusion in the menu of the selection assistant.

I checked "Work ONLY on currently selected rows", and then clicked "Unmark All" and, bingo, 2 hours work on some 4000 dups was lost in an instant because the "Work only on currently selected rows" was not respected. Furthermore it was then that I realised there is no UNDO.

I did see the confirmation box "do I really want to unmark all" but answered yes to it assuming it referred only to all in the selected rows.

So I believe you need to make it clearer in the menu what the "Work only on currently selected rows" will achieve, and please can we have an undo, or at least some kind of preview of what will be the result of large ranging actions.

Also an action I have not been able to find is to invert marks in just the selected rows.

I would be happy to pay for these features if they were just in pro.

Sorry you lost your checkmarks! I've put a note on the bugtracking system to update how this works, or at least make it clearer.

Selection assistant 'undo' is on the upcoming development list already.
