When doing an "Add/Rescan files to library" operation, the dialog remembers the last locations you imported from and each one's "checked" status.
I currently have some long network paths in there, and around 20+ of them, so checking them all on and off, or removing and recreating them, one at a time is a bit of a pain.
(I've been a MM4 user for over a decade now, and have been resistant to MM5, so I'm currently doing my biennial "Checking out MM5" evaluation, so I'm selectively importing subsets of my large collection, so things don't get too overwhelming while I test out a new system.)
A simple [TOGGLE ALL] in that dialog would be hugely helpful ATM!

Currently evaluating a migration from MM4 (4.1.31.1919 on Win7 SP1/16Gig RAM/intel) to MM2024 (latest Debug version on Win11 24H2/16GB RAM/intel)
**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.

Thanks--you've read our mind

p.s. it'll probably be implemented post 2024.0.
