Bug Description

When you have to restore 200+ files in a directory, Deja Dup does not offer an option to select and unselect all flies: forcing you to click the checkbox for each one, which is a very tedious process and should not be necessary.

As well as that, after you select all the files, they are displayed in a huge list that easily stretches the deja dup window far below the screen and thus hides the actual controls. If the user doesn't know about the alt+drag trick, they cannot click restore (as tabbing and pressing enter blindly is not a safe approach).

Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu4
duplicity 0.6.18-0ubuntu3.1
