"Select All" Function?

samara2894 · 05-24-2019, 05:00 PM

Hey all- I just installed Calibre for my new Nook reader...But I am stumped. I am trying to do a bulk conversion of my MOBI files to epub, but I cannot figure out how to select them all. I know I could hold down "ctrl" and click each one, but there are nearly 2,000 of them...that would be massively tedious. There obviously has to be a 'select all" function, but Calibre's help files make no mention of it, that I can find. Can anyone please steer this newbie in the right direction? Thanks!

In the book list press Ctrl+A - same as most other programs.

And the 'secret spot': click the (column title) box right above the row numbers.
(IMHO Ctrl+A is easier)

Thank you so much, guys! I am embarrassed to say that I have been using Windows since 1995 and never knew about "ctrl A". And I have built computers from scratch, many times. Wow, am I dumb.
