Bulk actions: what to do when not all items support an action
Picture the following scenario: user selects a bunch of items, and the 'bulk actions' box appears; user selects an action that not all items support (for one reason or another).
What do you do in this case: apply the action to items that support it? don't apply the action at all?
Also, can you point me towards any relevant real-world examples?
