[Req] Multiple Sets / Multiple Recipients

Okay, another thought I had, and perhaps the Chefs are already baking this into the next revision of the kitchen.

I'd like to be able to do both of the following, not necessarily on the same screen:

1) Send the same set to multiple people with one click. For example, say I'm looking at Amsterdam Free Love, and I see the list of my friends who have not received that free delivery. It would be nice and easy if I could then click a button to Send to All. Perhaps this is only available if I have enough stamps. OR I click on the Send Delivery button at the top of the screen, next to the set name, and when I get the mini-screen, I can choose multiple people to send the set to, not just one at a time. Certainly would save time.

2) When I click on a friend in my friend's list, I would like to be able to send multiple sets to that person. You're already listing those I CAN send, but I'd like to choose multiple if I have enough stamps. Again, a time saver.

I know both of these options means spending of more stamps at one shot, but that's a good thing, no?

Again, my $0.02.

I actually like these, but rather than a "Send To All" button, I think a radial/checkbox beside the person's name in the list would be more appropriate.

ex: I have 50 stamps and 20 people on a list that do not have a given Gold set. I could click on up to 10 people to deliver this Gold set to and then hit "Make Delivery" (or whatever) and it will deduct the appropriate number of stamps whilst sending to the checked individuals.

The same could be applied to your #2 suggestion. A radial/checkbox for each set that person does not have (that you do) and you can select which sets to send all at once.

Yes, I am restating your suggestion with only a minor tweak to the application of it, but it is those minor tweaks that make for a good experience, I think.

Actually, makes a lot of sense. And this gives various options for the Chefs to ponder, if they like the suggestion at all.

And, with the checkbox/radial button idea, the total stamp cost could be summed up on the fly...

These are the nice amenities i want too.. :D as i had 300 stamp at one point.. but very soon, I suspect.. any multiple stamp option will be a lost cause.. :?

I don't know. As you get 5 stamps regardless of set level, getting a bronze set means you are still able to dish out 5 at a time.

Sooo... a year later... is there any progress on this request? It sounds like a really useful suggestion.
