Select All

A single click on a file selects it, and there are different combinations of keys you can press to perform custom selection, or even all of them. You might find it difficult to work with a keyboard and mouse together, or simply using a touch-enabled screen, without an attached keyboard. In this regard, Select All comes as a cool system enhancement for easy selection of all items with just the mouse.

Needless to say that you first need to go through a setup process to ensure all the application has to offer gets perfectly deployed and integrates into your system. Chances are you might need to reboot the computer after setup, but this can easily be determined by bringing up the context menu inside a directory to scan for any new entries.

As mentioned, the application adds a new context menu entry which helps you select all items without having to rely on the keyboard. In fact, there are two new entries added, with a different one which inverts the the currents selection, in case you suddenly decide to perform a different action.

Don’t expect any advanced options or even a configuration panel, because you don’t get to use any. What you see is what you get, but this isn’t really a problem, because the application manages to deliver what is expected, namely a straightforward, fast way of selecting all items inside the current folder.

On the other hand, the application doesn’t need to be praised, because it doesn’t bring any innovation to Windows features. In case you’re not aware, the same result can be obtained through the Ctrl + A hotkey command, without having to bring up the context menu.

All things considered, we can state that Select All doesn’t really come with any features to make it stand out from the crowd, or greatly enhance work with an abundance of files. In fact, it simply provides an alternative to an existing Windows features.
