Research direction

Start by locating the package-selection and right-click context-menu handling in the Update Manager. Compare the existing Select all behavior with the Ignore current update action, then verify that multiple selected packages can invoke the action together without repeating slow refreshes.

Description

FEATURE REQUEST

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Unable to select multiple packages at once to then use the right-click context menu and ignore current update.

Currently only one package is doable,
which becomes very slow (multiple seconds for the refresh) when there are multiple packages i.e for flatkpak.

Describe the solution you'd like

Able to select multiple package at once to then use the right-click context menu and then ignore current update.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is the option called "select all" but it is only used for updates and not for further right-click conext menu actions.
