Select All Objects in a List - Possible?

[ssandino]

Is there a way to add the option to select all objects in a list?

Hi @ssandino it's a bit tricky, since we use pagination, to deal with collections that could have thousands of entries.
It would make sense to enable the select all toggle when pagination is disabled manually.
Or maybe we could create a 'select all in this page'

Thanks @fgatti675 – I think your proposition: select all on this page would already be a big step forward when pagination is enabled.

I guess this is a common issue in list views with pagination. Gmail has solved this quite nicely:
1: Select All = all on the page
2: Offers new option to select beyond the current page/view

Another simple way how to handle the select all for a list – without confusing the user (All is really all? Or only all that are shown?). The select all option reveals a dropdown with the two options (see image).
