i thought the same thing but i did not added it... may be someone can
try it? any volunteers? ;)

yeah. you're right. what i wanted to say is that all weps features must
run in any browser, that's why: JavaScript free! :)

yeah. right

i would add links saying "Check all | Uncheck all" and simply call the
same page with a variable like $checkall=true or $uncheckall=true. and
then check these variables in the same place where i check if the
checkbox are activated (that is in inc/filelisttable.php)

of course!!! i don't have many time for weps. i'll be glad if someone
add more futures, or even fix some.

doing things the right way is the way ;). eventhough, weps first version
(not 0.1) was coded in really few days, that means not very good
code. i've tried to cleanup... but there are always things to clean.
