Enhancement request: Please add ability to select and work with multiple links simultaneously
I use this extension a lot and very much appreciate your creating it. Thanks!
It would be very helpful if you could add the ability to select and work with links for multiple watched pages simultaneously. Such as being able to select multiple watched pages then set the same update properties for all of those pages at the same time, or being able to select multiple watched pages at once for deletion or to be able to move them to a folder simultaneously.
I have a lot (over 150) watched links and out of respect for site owners I try limit the impact they have on sites by scheduling page checks at odd times or limiting some update checks to manual checks. However, when I have to reinstall my browser or backup/restore links, all the update properties get reset to check daily. I then have to manually, one at a time, select each link and reset the properties. It is horribly time consuming and actually painful for someone like me who has arthritis. It would be so much easier if I could select a block of watched pages and then set the same update properties on all the links at once. Similarly, when a website goes away that has multiple watched pages on it, it would be great to be able to select all the webpages associated with that site for deletion all at once rather than one at a time. For organization, it would be nice to be able to create a folder, then select multiple pages to drag and drop into the folder.
I think that works already, doesnt it?
If it does, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Working with one link at a time in the sidebar is very time consuming (especially having to re-set the update settings for each sidebar link one at a time).
