[Patternfly] Pagination - Conceptual Design

Wed Oct 19 13:37:24 UTC 2016

I also like option 2 as I don't see a need to insert a new row.  But I have
a similar question to Catherine's.  My expectation is that this Select All
action is always there (no need to prompt).  I also think you could shorten
this to drop the "in this table" from the end.  So the row would be
something like:  18 of 90 Items Selected | *Select All 90 Items  *I've done
something similar to this in my Storage designs.

I'm also wondering why this text is on the right rather than the left (I've
been putting it on the left).  Looking at the PF library, I notice this is
on the left for list view but on the right for table view.  Is that
inconsistency intentional?
