Select multiple packages in the browser, then select 'actions->install' (above versions) to flag them for installation.

Only the first item in the selection is flagged.

'Install/update selection' does work, however the menu labelling is confusing.

This is the normal behavior. The difference between per-package and selection-wide actions is shown in the user guide at https://github.com/cfillion/reapack/wiki#actions.

Do you have an idea for a better labeling?

Is there any reason why there's a way to install 1 package when multiple are selected?

It seems to me that the menu-items should correlate to what is selected, single or multi-selection.

Am I perhaps missing some functionality here that would make that sub-optimal?

It adds flexibility and speed (especially when right-clicking). The per-package actions show details and options (eg. pick-which-version and show documentation) on the selected package under the mouse cursor that would otherwise not be available without first discarding the selection (and possibly redoing it afterward, which I find annoying).

The best suggestion I have is some better indication that then second 'install' menu option is for the item under the cursor.

Perhaps something such as "Install only v1.1" would better indicate that a single package is being acted upon.

I can do it like this using a submenu:

cfillion added a commit that referenced this issue Jul 17, 2017
and never in the Actions button's menu
