Create "Delete All" functionality

Enhancement request (low priority): Create "Delete All" functionality

Situation: I have about 1,800 notifications accumulated for over a year. The problems are neither reportable nor serious. I would like to delete them all, but manually clicking on each one seems an overwhelming chore.

Desired outcome: It would be great if I could delete them all at once, whether by "Select all" > "Delete" or simply "Delete All".

(The root cause of all the notifications is a video driver that routinely causes a kernel oops. Because NVIDIA.)

Thank you for the fine work you do.

I would like to delete them all

@loyeyoung, why? Anyway, this could probably be better generalised to multi-selection.

why?

As I mentioned in the original report, sometimes a particular issue will generate hundreds or even thousands of items. Meanwhile, there may be another issue that needs attention, in the midst of all the cruft. Wading through thousands of items of cruft to find the few that are important is essentially impossible. The simple expedient of "Delete all" is admittedly a crude hack. Nonetheless, even being able to start from scratch with a clean list can be very helpful and would be, IMHO, easy to implement.

this could probably be better generalised to multi-selection.

If the multi-select has a "Select/Deselect all" feature, then yes, that would be a more general solution. Even better would be a search function. (Yes, grep is a beautiful thing and would work in many cases, but the point of a UI is to aid the user.) Happy Trails, Dr. Loye W. Young, OP, JD
