"Select all" files option in multiselection mode

[jabarros]

In #1176 multi select feature was developed and to avoid wasting time selecting all files in a folder one by one, an option to select all the files in a folder is necessary. This will let us select all files in a unique click.

An option in the overflow menu should be enough.

Is anyone working on this?

@SD1998 No, contributions are welcome 😉

@davigonz I would like to work on this.

@SD1998 for me it is ok, go on!! first of all, we should agree the way it is going to be displayed. I think in several options:

• Set a global checkbox in multiselection mode. By selecting it, all checkboxes will be selected
• Set an option in tool bar or three-dot-menu to select all the stuff.
• (... your ideas)

Also, it would be cool to include an additional option to "deselect" all the stuff

If you are going to work on this, maybe is a good idea to create mock-ups before starting to be sure if all of use are on the same page, and we agree in the UI.

@jesmrec I will add the mockups here is some time. I think the second options will be better and I think that the option in three-dot-menu should only be available if the user has already selected an item(i.e is already in multiselection mode).

@jesmrec I have made the mockup. The mockup is not very good as I still learning to make these so Sorry for the inaccuracy to replicate the UI completely but the mockup still represents vaguely the option in tree-dot menu to select all the items and deselect all the items. Is this type of representation of the options ok?

[shashvat-kedia]

@jesmrec Is this alright? If it is then I will start working on it.
