How do I get files based on label?

I must be pretty dumb because I cannot find a menu option that will allow me to get all files in a tree with a specific lable name. The documentation says you can but I can't find it.

You can click on the parent folder and use the Show labels command. Select the label, right click and choose Get.

If you have items scattered throughout the tree with the same label name, you would need to use the Vault Command Line Client GetLabel command.

Why is this not part o the GUI interface? It's seems like this is such a commonly used feature that it should be in teh GUI interface. Why would htere even be a functions that are only accessible form a command line interface in the first place? Is there any plan to put this in the GUI interface?

We haven't had very many requests for this, but I can certainly log a feature request for this. Thanks for the suggestion.
