Suggestion: Bulk Operations

[Hannes1909]

Hi,

I am missing the option to archive, delete, edit Devices in bulk operations, like selecting devices from the web interface and running an action against all of them at once. For now I am trying to achieve this via SQL statements against the DB, but I'm sure thats not "supported" :)

Regards! Hannes

I've added some basic bulk (non-selective though) operations in this fork: https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert

Is this fork going to be merged in future?

Bulk operations is definitely helpful .. even on my home network (3 kids and a techie parent) I have 40 devices. Ok I admit most of those are mine. But the inactive hosts are over 100. This is painful to have to manually edit, I would wait for a bulk option.

I don't think there will be a merge. I've added over 2k lines (originally around 1.5k lines, now 3.5) of code just to the core script. Also there's been no activity for almost 2years in this code base.

Please open a new issue on my fork with exactly what you need in bulk actions. Just BTW my fork has a CSV export and import feature so you could bulk edit the devices that way. Backup first.

I can play with the bulk export, I wasn't aware of it. Thanks.

I didn't realize I was on the wrong forum, already using your fork - thanks!
