[FEATURE REQUEST] "select all" option when selecting documents

Open PirMei opened this issue 2 months ago • 7 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm using paperless-ngx to directly consume exported PDFs from OSS document scanner. paperless-ngx deletes consumed PDF files from its consume folder which is also the destination folder for my OSS document scanner PDF exports.
The next time I start OSS document scanner on my phone, it sees an empty destination folder and re-exports all documents in its library which in turn get consumed by paperless-ngx again (and this results in an error because the document has already been consumed).
Not that bad until now, but to avoid the repeated export of PDFs from OSS doc scanner after cleaning up my paperless-ngx-consume folder, I have to select every document one-by-one in OSS doc scanner manually to delete it. This is kind of tedious on a touch screen.

Describe the solution you'd like What would help me avoid this error (and simplify housekeeping of documents in the OSS document scanner app):

  • a toggle/optional setting to delete documents from the library after a successful PDF export
  • the possibility to select all documents in OSS document scanner and delete them/purge the entire OSS doc scanner library

Describe alternatives you've considered none

Additional context none

@PirMei it has been implemented. In review on the stores

@farfromrefug Is there a specific release version to look out for in which this has been implemented?

Also sorry for apparently not giving a descriptive title to this request, but it has nothing to do with a zoom slider?
Are you sure, my feature request has been implemented or is this related to the most recent OSS Doc Scanner iOS release?

Seems like a duplicate / very similar to https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner/issues/478

@PhoenixIV I mean yeah, my problem could probably be solved by a two-way sync in which OSS DocScanner removes documents when their PDF export has been deleted.
However a simple "Select all" option in document selection mode to delete all documents in the library when their PDF export have manually been checked as "saved elsewhere" would probably be way easier to implement.
I'll rename the issue accordingly and hope this can be implemented soonish :)

@PirMei select all is already available. select own then ooen the menu and choose select all

@farfromrefug Select all is only available for pages of a document (at least in my version (1.16.2 Build 125), "Alle auswählen" = "select all" in German):

However it's missing in the main screen or when entering selection mode for multiple documents (by long-pressing a document):
