Re: [Kimchi-devel] UI Extension Proposal - Same Action on Multiple List Elements

Hello Samuel, I think we both agree that from a usage perspective we should support an action for multiple list elements. Please correct me if I am wrong. The next question is how to implement this. We currently have an action combo box for each list element. With an action combo box for the whole list we can do both: 1) Action for a single list element 2) Action for multiple list elements Depending on the selection the possible actions may change. There are also actions which can only be executed on a single list element. We definitely need further discussions on this.
