What I could use more is a way to select multiple items from a list, and build another list using those items. Example, I made IMDB Top250 list, and then the AFI's Top 100 movies of all time list. With so many similar entries, it would've been quicker to select them all and build second list right away, rather than re-searching all the names once more. But even that, its kinda a once-in-a-blue-moon scenario.

You can rearrange it afterwards. I thought this thread was going to be for groups, as i hate having to re click all the boxes to view all the groups again after viewing just 1 or 2 hehe, but thats just laziness on my part.
A select all function wouldn't hurt, it just wouldn't make such a huge difference it should be put high in the pile etc, its definitely a back burner function.

When I was making a fantasy list in books that would have come in handy because I selected the tag first so they all came up (same with the kids books and a few others). Sometimes that can amount to a lot of clicking without a select all option. Actually come to think of it I can think of quite a few times when I would've been able to use a select all option so I don't think it be used rarely.

It's basically like Midnight said. I like to work from my tags when I'm making a specific list and a select all would make it so much easier. Even if I had to unclick somethings it would still be less clicking all around.
