cannot select all items in search for save into list #98

In the old catalog there are buttons to 'save marked items' and 'save all on page'. savealloldcat

VuFind lacks the save all function and seems to require clicking a button and choosing a target save list, for every desired item, instead of a checkbox where patrons can go down the page and say, that, that, not that, yes this, click save all, done. nosaveall

This is pretty undesirable behavior, but hard to prioritize. Maybe a relevant example might be, would a commercial shopping cart tolerate this level of inconvenience at its initial public rollout? But I am also afraid the solution needs too much work for the time available, with new UI and possibly back end work.

But a good workaround is Save this Search. Also when inside a Saved Search or a Saved List, there are checkboxes for all or individual items, in preparation for sending off to oneself.

Also question: is there a configuration option inside VuFind for Save All from a search results page?
