Library import: no "select all" option

When importing another library into the current one, a dialog opens in which you have to select entries.
There is a "select new entries", which is not reliable (I tried with existing entries that had been modified: the software does not see them as new), and a "unselect all".

Why not add a "select all"?

Ctrl-click and shift-click do not even provide this functionality.

My production rate has definitly lowered after my third bug report this day

Thanks for your suggestion. Can you please elaborate on why you want to import duplicate entries? If you later want to merge them with an existing entry, this is already possible in the import dialog: you have a small icon next to the duplicated item that lets you manage the import / merge strategy for this entry.
