Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Hi,

when selecting a book in the WebUI, a "Select All" button that automatically selects all the books in the current view would be useful.

Why would this be helpful?

I suffered a massive data loss a while back. Now I am restoring the data I had. When adding files, the merge process between the old and the new version does not work if minor differences occur. For me, this leads to "Go to Artist, select all books, delete all, copy data into folder, scan again". Ticking 100 boxes instead of one "Select all" is way more annyoing.

You can shift select the books, which is basically a Select all.

Select all could be confusing, because due to pagination there is no way to "Select all". While it would work for all books in few the shift select should not be that much of a difference, if that helps you?
