A long click is really hard to discover, there are two action we want to surface very soon that operate on “everything in the list”
If you are on unread, and have more than 1 topic in the list, we want to expose “Stop tracking” which would move all the topics in the list back to “Regular”
If you are on new, and have more than 1 topic in the list, we want to expose “Clear New” that would basically tell us only treat stuff as new if it is posted after when that button was clicked.
(undo semantics are complicated though if at all feasible)
The big pain point I see now is not the selecting, its invoking the operation on the partial batch.
I don’t see it. I can select multiple topics while browsing the category view, but once I have the topics selected I can not find the delete link anywhere. I’ve tried the hamburger, etc. I’m admin on the instance of discourse I’m using. I’m running 1.2.0beta4.
I see the wrench at the upper right – it’s a bit offscreen depending on your resolution. Look there and drag the browser to make it horizontally wider. You’ll find it!
