"Select all files" no longer works - Layout "Compact Files layout with Checkboxes 3.9"

[LinaG]

Hi Arno,
Thank you for the screenshot. I notice in your demo the layout looks different from mine.
I tested all three checkbox layouts available in jDownloads 4.1.4:

Compact Files Layout with Checkboxes v3.9
Standard Files Layout with Checkboxes v3.9
Standard Bootstrap 5 Files Layout - Minimal Compact with Checkboxes v4.1

In all three cases, the "Select all files" button appears at the top of the list (not the bottom as in your demo), and clicking it does not select any files — it only changes its own appearance.
Could you please verify if the fix in 4.1.4 covers these layouts as well?
I also checked my Content-Security-Policy headers and they only contain frame-ancestors 'self' — so CSP is not blocking inline JavaScript in my case.
Environment: Joomla 6.1.0 + PHP 8.5 + jDownloads 4.1.4.
Thank you!
Lina

Hi
I am still having the same problem as LinaG.  I have cleared my browser cache.

Hm.. strange.
I'll try to reproduce the error.

The Select all files tick box is not working. Have tried with layouts:
Compact Files Layout with Checkboxes v3.9
Standard Files Layout with Checkboxes v3.9
Standard Bootstrap 5 Files Layout - Minimal Compact with Checkboxes v4.1

Using Joomla 6.1.0 and jDownloads 4.1.4 Stable (15-05-2026)
Aware that it does work on the Test Site

Hi,
The fact that it works on jd40 suggests that it's running on a 'clean' installation without any legacy issues or overrides, and that the checkbox logic is therefore working as expected.

Please check that you have also enabled the correct category layout. That is where the main checkbox is displayed. See screenshot.

To quickly narrow down affected installations, please check these point:
- Check in the browser DevTools which JavaScript file is actually being loaded (including path and modification time/cache status). 
you can post the results of these point here (include a short screenshot from DevTools). We can then pinpoint exactly where your installation differs.
