Maybe I somehow missed it, but it looks like there's no way to modify checkbox
settings for entire lists of inventory detail pages at once. I now delete zero
quantity lots by clicking tons of "delete" checkboxes.

Shouldn't there be checkboxes for this at the top of the page? I've made
a picture of what I mean. It seems likely to me it already exists and I just
fail to find it, if so please point me to it, otherwise, let's add it?!

No replies? Really? o_O Isn't it a basic inventory manipulation tool that
is absent right now? I mean, say you want to move all items with a certain remark
in or out of your stockroom.. yes, there are these brute force macros at the
bottom of the inventory page*, but they are not pretty, the things I want to
do are always missing, and you don't get to review it first. I just want
to delete all zero quantity lots except for a few. If there would just be checkboxes
at the top of the page, that would save a heck of alot of time. It's also
not even a change in the system, simply a superficial interface addition of a
checkbox that check all boxes below it.

*In fact I think it's better if that entire section is just removed, it is
ugly and risky to use, and if inventory search result pages would simply allow
for collective manipulation (with such checkboxes but for example also with a
sale percentage field at the top that modifies all fields below) it would be
redundant. The interface would be more flexible, more clear, and less error prone
because you get to review search results before applying collective updates.
