I've responded to this previously if you look back at posts #25/#26. I completely understand why you are asking for this, particularly if you have a bunch of my plugins that I upgraded recently. However supporting it "properly" may involve (I think) several more screens and basically a lot more dev effort

For instance, how do you handle multiple plugins being installed for the first time, each of which are prompting you where to be installed?

How do you handle a plugin that fails to install for whatever reason? Do you keep going and display a summary at the end, etc?

As this plugin code is intended for Calibre integration one day I've tried to keep it fairly simple and consistent with the existing Preferences->Plugins screen in behaviour where possible.

Having said all that if Kovid tells me he wants it to support installing/updating multiple plugins at once (with some suggestions on how he would like to see the above handled) then I will take a look at some point.
