From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: it would be great if i could select-all select/deselect multiple-packages [shift], [ctrl] to ignore for update eg. install a full rhl 9 in 2004 or now rhl 8.0 a lot of packages which i would not update all together, but i will get the info about new erratas for the first time: ignore all in several sessions: select a few packages for update check, all ok select a few packages for update check, all ok ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-applet-2.0.9-0.9.0.1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a full system in 2004 2. or install now a full rhl 8.0 3. try to ignore some/all packages Actual Results: you get a "tendovaginitis" by clicking for ignoring every package Expected Results: select all select/deselect with [shift], [ctrl] Additional info: not sure, but if you startx for a new user all ignored packages are shown as not updated you get once again a "tendovaginitis"
bug #165317 addresses making 'shift' and 'ctrl' work as one would expect in a multi-select box, and 'select all' is 'click first item, scroll to bottom, hold down shift, click last item'. 'select all' doesn't work for the current UI because, well, which list does 'select all' apply to? The left one or the right one? We could have instead 'ignore all' and...and... 'pay attention to all', but I think the shift/ctrl solution is good enough. Closing as a dupe of 165317, since that bug includes a patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 165317 ***
