I am not a fan of automatic bulk action if several items are selected. - these lists can become long, and selected entries might be off the screen - for this to make sense, selected entries should remain selected after action, increasing the danger of unwanted action - you might be in the process of selecting some entries, when you want to do a quick action on an individual entry you come across. But you cannot, because any action will act on all selected ones. So I do prefer a special command like "B" to introduce bulk action. Opinions? - Carsten
