Description:
Dear all,
deleting versions of a file is very painful:

1. Only one version at a time can be selected --> can we allow users to select more than one versions?

2. Every time a version is deleted the selection bumps back to the bottom of the list --> can we stay on the closest in time version of the one that was just deleted?

This makes cleaning long versions lists very painful.

Also, can we consider the possibility of providing a functionality to automatically delete versions that are older than a given amount of time?

Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file with several versions
2. Try to delete all versions that are older than a given time


Actual Results:
More than one version cannot be selected
Deleting the oldest one bring the selection back to the newest one not allowing the user to push delete repeatedly

Expected Results:
See description


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Currently, you can only delete one version at a time. So this is not a bug, rather a recommendation.

One topic per report, so let's keep this for the multi-deletion and the second one should be filed as a separate report.
