Tell us the problem or your need

At the moment, the "Select Dependencies" toggle changes the whole window. It is extremely laggy and slow, and can potentially introduce to crashes:

I think the whole feature should be removed. It is a very risky operation installing multiple deps in one row, e.g.:

• the wineserver can goes down while processing one dep, invalidating all the next
• some deps might incompatible with other deps, breaking the prefix in a non recoverable way if versioning is not enabled (despite the fine job we are doing on the background, it is not possible to prevent this, not without layers but that's a whole different topic which we will discuss soon in a metting)
• some deps are very complex and Bottles does a lot of things in the background, if one dep breaks compatibility with another one the entire process may freeze breaking the prefix
• some novice users can use all dependencies in one row because they think this is possible (we are actually allowing it), this in 99% of cases breaks everything and the user will blame Bottles

Hi. Thanks for your efforts to make this app!

Although you had already closed this issue, may I know what workarounds exist helping to avoid manually clicking on every single dependence to install? Each of them takes approximately 2 mins to install - on my machine.
I would appreciate a solution to speed up this process.

Best regards
