In the desktop application, being able to control click or shift click multiple chats or multiple messages to perform the same action on each selected item, such as delete, forward, or copy. This functionality already exists in the mobile app (Android, at least).
Only one chat or one message can be acted on at a time in the desktop application, which can be laborious and inefficient.
+1. Must have for batch deleting messages from for example Saved Messages.
I think the easiest way would be to select the chats/messages via context menu or by holding down CTRL/CMD and left clicking.
A multiselector would make the use of DC-Desktop more comfortable.
In addition, the number of sync emails between devices would be reduced.
This is particularly important for users with cheap email providers.
Is there a github issue to track this feature proposal? I couldn’t find any with search terms ‘select multiple’
feature proposals are tracked here the forum, unless there is someone actively working on them
There is another idea to add that also affects mobile apps:
It would be useful if you could export/share attachments/images of the multi-selection in one action.
Like you select multiple images and have a single option to export them all to the file system.
And conversely it would useful if you could also select multiple files to import into the chat in one action. But maybe this is getting further away from the original topic.
