Currently if one chooses the "Display the summary row only" option in conjunction with Views Bulk Operation the following error message is generated: "Please select at least one item."

I would be great that VBO be supported although I realize that it's probably an edge case...

What is the use case for only displaying summaries and being able to perform some action on them? That doesn't make any sense to me, but maybe that's because I don't know of a reason to desire this functionality.

Thanks for your reply. Here's a use case:

Display reports of transactions of a certain type (eg: show all entities that have been referred by affiliate domain with the total number of views). Then associate a VBO action on all the items present in this report (eg: send a thank you email to the owners of these domains).

I realise this can be done in other ways but perhaps there would be value in providing this functionality here.

This module doesn't currently keep track of the records as it goes through the view; it simply calculates the values and displays the results. You can do what you are describing with just Views' filters and VBO.

But then I'd loose the summary which is also important. But I get you point. Thanks.
