Summary0002826: missing selectAll in Scripter API
Descriptioni found deselectAll() to deselect all objects, but i didn't find a selectAll() to select all objects.

I think, it would be a good thing to implement such a function.

do you think all in document or all in page?

Please wait with this until I have the new selection code written, plus we have a RFE for 4 options: on canvas, on page, and then current layer or all layers.

 See 0000306:0033569
tl;dr there is a proposal to not implement this

indeed, i think that there is no need for a select all command in the scripter.

the deselectAll is probably only there to make sure that there is no selection (normally, after you have stored somewhere the list of selected items, which you will restore at the end of the script).
it is not the "anti-action" of selectAll.

if you want all the items, just go through all the elements in the page or the document. there are already commands for getting them.

i don't see a need for selecting them and then go through the selection...

Looks like the feedback is leaning toward a 'No'
There are other ways to achieve this effect. We will provide examples for the community so no further feature requests should be filed.
