I’m
disappointed
pruning imported Amazon wishlist is inefficient
After importing an Amazon wishlist, I realized that I wanted to track only a subset of the items, but found your UI for removing the items I didn't want to be cumbersome. I should be able to see more items listed on a single screen, and be able to select the items I want to remove in batch.

You actually can remove items in a batch. Just use the checkboxes on the right side of the tracked products page to select those price watches you want to delete, then select "Stop Tracking" from the dropdown list at the bottom of the screen and click the "Go" button.
As seen here: http://stashbox.org/810941/example.png
Please let me know if that doesn't work for you.
We limit the number of products per page to limit the use of server resources. Maybe a page specifically for "bulk editing" could list more products (while providing less detail about price drops and the like)?Comment -

> Just use the checkboxes on the right side...
I wrote this one on memory. It's been a week or two since I encountered the issue. I do remember seeing the checkboxes, so I'm not sure precisely now what the issue was with removing items.
Perhaps the issue wasn't directly with that action (removing items). I think what I was trying to accomplish was keeping the item on the list, but disabling price alerts. Maybe I wasn't sure if "Stop Tracking" accomplished that, so to be safe, I opened each item individually and removed the alert.
A related item would be bulk editing of price alerts. Why not be able to in-line edit the desired price column? I see you have an action for that, but why a separate UI?

Yes. As you're probably aware, Amazon provides this.
One thing I know I did encounter when removing items was a situation where I was "stuck" on page 1 of the wishlist, because each time I deleted items, it pulled new items onto page 1 from subsequent pages. Then I had to try and figure out which items I had already reviewed.
Amazon's wishlist editor has the exact same problem, and their brief view merely reduces the impact. Short of working your way backwards through the list, I'm not sure of a good way to address this. -

I could look at adding some more inline editing options. It's just one of those things that I coded the base functionality for and then moved on to another feature.
Maybe the bulk editor could let you mark products as "reviewed" and exclude those from the list? Or would that be too much micromanagement? -

In recent redesign the checkboxes have gone. Is there a way now to mass removal?-
Our plan for stage two of the price watch list redesign is to bring back mass editing but in a much more user friendly, powerful, and efficient way. For now, though, we chose simplicity for this page and got rid of the old mass editing options.
We will try to get the new implementation out the door soon, I know it can be a pain to manage a big list one by one. -
