Description Federico Bruni 2014-02-27 13:19:05 UTC 
The item "Save all attachments" in the drop-down menu of a message reply is very handy. I think that this feature should be more visible. What about adding an icon close to the attachments (at the bottom of a message)?

A "save icon" with the tooltip "Save all attachments".
Comment 1 Federico Bruni 2014-02-27 13:22:24 UTC 
Just realized that if I right-click on the attachment I get the two options: "Save as" and "Save all attachments".

This is great, but still I think that an icon would make the feature more visible for new users. For example, in Gmail there's a download icon to download all the attachments as a .zip file. I think that my mind was influenced by this and there are many Gmail users around :-)

We could certainly consider adding a button to make the feature more prominent.
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2016-04-26 13:10:10 UTC 
In the work for Bug 765516, I've made the attachment icon at the top of each message a save-all button.
Comment 4 Michael Gratton 2016-04-26 13:18:26 UTC 
Although whether that is a good thing in the long run is debatable - perhaps the user should be able to see what they are saving when they do a save-all.

Fixed on master by 898fa33, as part of Bug 728002. The "has attachments" icon on individual messages is now a button that invokes Save All.
