I'd like to see a feature that would set all publishing and comment options for all content types, possibly with an ability to exclude certain types (but that can be left out).

Depending on my time constraints, I may look at doing this.

you could do this also with views bulk operations.

There you can also filter by what views supports.

That would assume that Views was installed, which it is not on 75% of my sites.

I would also like this, in particular, the ability to bulk update the "Revision" checkbox default for all content types from one admin screen, rather than having to edit each content type individually.

Searching for it again i found my own old note on g.d.o, Simple admin aid module idea: Centrally set content type revision defaults.

Would this functionality (including adding a new menu screen) be accepted as a patch to Utility?

I have a demo version (does not do actual db updates yet, but shows them). It looks like maybe this module is abandoned, so maybe I should create a new module? Anyone who would like to critique the demo can use my contact form.

Why not submit a patch instead of presumptuous accusations ?

I'm sorry it sounded presumptuous, but with no commits in something like 9 months and patches waiting that long, it certainly looks like little is being done here.

I didn't submit a patch because it is still in a demo form, and there are a few lines of code I don't like yet. But I would like some other eyes on it to see if I'm going the right way. Plus, CVS won't create a patch on new files, so here is a zipped attachment.

This patch requires the first patch from #274777: How to configure? to properly build the menu.
