Use selection for more than one page?

inteded behaviour or technical limited?

This is by design. Only the certificates that are in view are selected.
I do not like when items are selected without the user seeing them
selected. Suppose all certificates would have been selected and the user
presses 'delete'. Then suddenly all certificates would have been
deleted. Another reason for not selecting all certificates is that
Djigzo has been designed to support almost unlimited number of
certificates. It has been tested with 40.000 certificates. Storing all
certificates into a .p7b results in a 31MB file.
You can create a backup of the system using the backup manager page.
This however creates a full backup of all the settings. You only want to
backup all certificates?

What I can do is add an option to backup all certificates? This would
result in one big .p7b or .pfx file.

I suspected something like that. The "select more than one page" can
be useful in general if one wants to transfer only part of the system
like all certificates with key or only the root certs. But i would say
this is seldom used so no need for additional work. The only thing
which might be worth is changing the text to "invert selection on this
page" or something like that.

Many Thanks
