I was psyched to see move finally introduced in NC 11 and while it works perfectly for single files, there’s no option to move a selection of files.

I thought this was coming back in 11 after going missing at some point in the past, but it doesn’t appear to be working for me.
###3 . Clicking select all on filtered search still selects all files in the folder and not only those filtered.
In the absence of shift+select this would be my next go-to, unfortunately for me it’ll still only select all files in a directory or none, not those within the criterion specified.

You can only ask for some thumbs up on your github issue. But there isn’t anything else for your topic we can do on the forum.
I know, sharing for visibility and/or “me too” discussions.
As it turns out I was doing shift+click wrong (can you believe it…) so that’s solved.
The possilbility to select the search results is a recurring theme in the forum:
I am trying to synthesize what is written in different issues, hoping that a “comprehensive” issue can be useful for the developers.
Often there is the request for the possibility to perform group operations on files.
Multiple files can be selected in different ways:
they are a search result
they are a tag selection result
they are selected by hand
It would be really practical to have the possibility to perform operations as:
share all the selected files
tag all the selected files
delete

Hi,
This is probably a stupid question but is there a way to select multiple files and share them? Like if I have a folder with files, but I want to share only let’s say 49 out of 100, can I just select them and click “share” somewhere?
I can see download, but I cannot find “share” and if I click on an icon next to the file, it’s just sharing one file.

thank you
This could be a handy feature…
p.s. Also if I “star” the files and then go to favorites I cannot multiselect files and s…
Hello I was wondering if there was a way to select all after doing a search.
For example I do a search for .NEF. I get aobut 900 results. At this time I would like to delete all of those. However there is no select all . or individual select for that matter on that page.
I was wondering if this is something that can be done … or if not then maybe get it added to nextcloud. It seems kinda like an important feature to help manage files like this.
Thanks.

### Steps to reproduce
1. Search for zip files in your cloud
2. Now try to delete them all
### Expected behaviour
The results list should allow me to select all or part of the files shown and present me with some standard file operations. Delete being the most obvious one.
#### Needed
- Delete
- Tag
#### Not needed
- Move (only works in some specific cases)
- Rename
### Actual behaviour
I can only click on an entry, which will take me to the folder.

### Steps to reproduce
1. Have a folder with various files.

2. Search within the folder (e.g. search for "mp3")

3. Select all files using the "select_all_files" checkbox.

### Expected behaviour
I would expect that only the files shown after searching are selected. This would e.g. simplify downloading only certain files.
### Actual behaviour
Instead of only selecting the 3 shown files, all files within the folder (also the ones filtered out by searching) are selected.
**Nextcloud version:** 10.0.1
I searched for similar issues and found this one: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/1274 However, I think this issue here is a bit different as this is not about group actions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Such +1 doesn’t help, it only clutters the forum. If you want to support it, you can give the github issues a thumb up (on the initial posting) or even support it via bountysource:
