Check-all, uncheck-all button for list of blocked hosts

[Landpaddle]

I'd like a button to check and uncheck all filter lists at the click of a button.

Sometimes, I turn off filters to save memory on a low-end laptop - say, when watching streaming videos - without totally disabling the matrix. This would make that process less of a hassle.

Ok, you mean more like a master checkbox to ignore all currently selected lists. In your scenario, select all/deselect all would not accomplish much for users who have half the lists selected.

I'd still like a method to toggle checkboxes, even if the preference is stored as a crude boolean.

Alternatively, you could consider implementing a Ctrl- and Shift-click method of selecting a range of boxes, but that would be a large undertaking for something relatively harmless, though tedious.

Ok, a master checkbox as you want is rather easy, and it's not even a setting which has to be persisted, it's just a UI widget to assist the user into quickly selected/deselecting all -- although I will require that the Apply button still be press, loading/parsing these lists is a very memory and CPU intensive operation, and I don't want this to be done on a checkbox which can be easily toggle on/off.
