Sometimes you might want to see more than the standard 50 nodes per page when you administer content (/admin/content/node/overview). Unfortunately, this number of 50 nodes per page is hardcoded into the Node core module (modules/node/node.admin.inc, line 461).
This mini module adds a select field to the administer content page for selecting a different number of nodes per page and stores this value in the variable table in the database.
Important note:
For this mini module to work you need to modify code from a core function. It's only a slight modification but be sure you know what you do. And in any case read the following instructions beforehand:

Modification to node.admin.inc
Here's the modification to the node.admin.inc file. You have to replace the hardcoded 50 in the pager_query() function with a variable ($limit) which calls the variable from the database or sets a default value, if the variable is not set.
<?php
/**
* Form builder: Builds the node administration overview.
*/
function node_admin_nodes() {
$limit = variable_get('default_nodes_overview', 50); // added for the module
$filter = node_build_filter_query();
$result = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql('SELECT n.*, u.name FROM {node} n '. $filter['join'] .' INNER JOIN {users} u ON n.uid = u.uid '. $filter['where'] .' ORDER BY n.changed DESC'), $limit, 0, NULL, $filter['args']);
...
?>.module file
<?php
// $Id$
/**
* @file
* Sets the default number of nodes to display per page on the content admin page (/admin/content/node/overview).
*/
/**
* Implements hook_form_alter().
* Adds a select field and a submit button to node_admin_content form.
*/
function default_nodes_overview_form_node_admin_content_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form['default_nodes_overview'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Number of nodes on content admin page'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('default_nodes_overview', 50),
'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200)),
'#description' => t('The default number of nodes to display per page on the content admin page (/admin/content/node/overview).'),
'#weight' => 1,
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Save settings'),
'#submit' => array('system_settings_form_submit'),
'#weight' => 2,
);
}
?>.info file
name = "Default Nodes Overview"
description = "Sets the default number of nodes to display per page on the content admin page (/admin/content/node/overview)."

Shouldn't this be made into a
Shouldn't this be made into a variable in core?
