@tarsius there is an option to drop all stashes(https://github.com/magit/magit/blob/master/lisp/magit-stash.el#L163) and it is not working for me and other users http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14024/magit-how-to-drop-all-stashes-at-once

If you have your point on the "Stashes" header, k will offer to drop all stashes. You can also highlight several stash lines and press k, and it will offer to drop all of those lines.

@kyleam that was the expected behaviour. i am not able to get it work.

I can't reproduce this with "emacs -Q".

Please provide more information than "not working". Is it prompting you like it should? Is it giving an error? Printing any messages? What is in the process buffer?

If you have your point on the "Stashes" header, k will offer to drop all stashes.

It is just asking for a number to drop stash.

You can also highlight several stash lines and press k, and it will offer to drop all of those lines.

Even for this it is asking for a stash number to drop

I think you are using an old Magit version.

@tarsius , you are right. This was happening to me. For some reason package list said that there weren't any updates. I uninstalled magit using the package manager a new version was there.

The old version number from melpa was magit-90150116 so maybe it was thinking that 2.1.1 was older.
