Select all and Unselect all options are not easily discoverable

[Shankar Narayanan]

The select all and deselect all options should be easily discoverable, as currently they can be found in the context menu, which is "hard" to find. A more obvious way of selecting/deselecting all packages should be exposed in the UI.

Since you're talking about selecting, I think you probably mean update-manager.

Yes !

There's really no need to ask that question - it's quite apparent that the requested feature has not been implemented in update-manager. However, you can deselect/select *groups* of updates (i.e. distribution, security etc,)

There is a context menu in update manager with Check/ Uncheck all, so I am updating this bug report, as the context menu is not easily discoverable.
