Comment 3 for bug 722087

Although we should avoid adding too many selection features, using click/drag would be another consideration, similar to utorrent's scheduler. If you have a block of 4x4 wares currently set, you could click and hold on one, drag the mouse over all icons and it would select all of them.

As with SirVer I often use warehouses for "construction outposts" - to store wares needed for construction. Being able to select all of these wares (e.g. stone, marble+columns, trunks, wood) with one click would be really helpful. I have created a <a href="http://wl.widelands.org/forum/topic/1013/">forum post and <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/widelands/+spec/warehouse-profile">blueprint</a> for this feature.
