Hello, Can be possible to add the possibility to “select all” the média when we use filter. Like if i use filter “genre\>Comedy” i really need to can select all for change Comedy in Comédie, for the exemple. We can “unselect all” but not the inverse, and select by click on one movie by movie it’s very long and boring. Thank you. ---

Ok thank’s a lot ! I don’t see “hold the Shift key down and click the last item” That’s very cool. ---

This is very similar to standard file managers on all major desktop operating systems. Try it on your computer. ---

Make it possible for the Plex app, also to select a few movies and delete them at once, why an app when always referring to the web! Asked this a million times already… ---

Aside of Otto’s guidance… there’s an existing feature suggestion asking for a “one-click” `Select All` option. > [@Please add "Select All" to go with your "Deselect All"](https://forums.plex.tv/t/please-add-select-all-to-go-with-your-deselect-all/453645): > > If I have my movies filed in folders by type and I want to quickly add a collection tag to all of them, I have to manually select each one before I can do that. i can deselect easily but I can’t select them quickly. This would be a huge timesaver for people who also file their media in folders this way. # > [@deevinityplayfair](#): > > Make it possible for the Plex app, also to select a few movies and delete them at once You can already do that in Plex Web – which is the main admin interface for your server while the “apps” are mostly players. _(also getting a bit off topic from the OP’s suggestion)_ # Considering both, I’ll go forward and close this thread. ---
