Nice module!

For the Alpha Pager I'd like to display all of the items as a default setting, and then users can select a link (A B C ...) to refine the contents that they want. Also there is a link on the header and footer, something like "All", which can link back to display all items any time. This feature is really useful, for example, to view a product list for which users like sometimes to view all of them at a glance.

How to make this feature possible? Thanks!

Couldn't you do this by using taxonomy? If absolutely every public piece of content on your site is tagged with the same category, you could create a view fetching all nodes from this category, with title as sort criteria. And still you can sort content as you did before, with other taxonomies for hierarchy. If you want the alpha pager present everywhere on your site, create a block view with no visible fields and make it omnipresent.

(I didn't answer very thoroughly but i think the concepts hold..)

There is an 'All' feature in the 5.x-dev version (probably added after this issue was created). You can theme the 'All' out by overriding the theme_alphapager() with something like:

function phptemplate_alpha_pager($items, $current = '', $path = '', $query = '') {
  unset($items['*']);
  return theme_alpha_pager($items, $current, $path, $query);
}

I don't plan on changing the initially selected page with an option.
