"select all" feature?

RKnack · 11-20-2015, 07:07 PM

Does Calibre have any sort of "select all" feature, so that I can do a one-click select of all the books in my library and send them all to my Nook Color at once? I have over 1,000 ebooks, and it would be s tedious task to click on each one individually...

Select one book, then hit CTRL-A and all will be selected.

If you want to do smaller increments, click on the first book, scroll down to the next and shift-click on the last title you want to select.

Or click in the empty left corner square at the top of your book grid. That will select all books. At least in Windows. I assume it will work in other OS's.

This is a STANDARD UI feature (at least for Linux and Windows)
Try it anywhere (within the OS UI

)
I mean anywhere

On the desktop. Whoa!

don't hit delete

Inside this browser session.

What varies is how much (just what has focus) gets selected. MDI
