Hey Attached document file contain many unnecessary styles which I would like to remove, but I can do only one operation per style. The idea is: applications should let user select many styles and delete it at once.

Hey Mateusz! For me this simply works via the context menu .. I know Joren was so kind to implement this. Just checked in 4.3. and 4.4.x .. So .. ??
Sorry, do we talk about the same thing? About Stylist hidden under F11 button? I tested it under: Wersja: 4.3.2.2 Build ID: edfb5295ba211bd31ad47d0bad0118690f76407d Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: fa58d91094895a530648630fa64b8724ea1e4305 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-26_09:30:18 Choose one style, put Shift and try select another styles. It doesn't work.

Yep - nice that you still call it the Stylist ;) > Choose one style, put Shift and try select another styles. It doesn't work. Works for me... Maybe that is a problem in the versions you tested? (I've tested 4.3.3.1 and 4.4.0 alpha0)
I will keep an eye out for LO 4.3.3. So far I will use stable and I will test 4.4. Though, it is very strange that 4.3.3 RC1 do something and 4.4 doesn't include this feature. My alpha build is newer than yours is, so it should just works.
Cor, I tried do it in your way with LO 4.3.3.2 (Build ID: 9bb7eadab57b6755b1265afa86e04bf45fbfc644) and still nothing. I can attach video, but it's rather pointless. Do you use Linux? I have Win7 64bit.
@Mateusz. Indeed Linux. Must be checked by a Windows user then. I guess you have tried with a fresh user profile too?
Win7x64Ultimate Works for me with 4.3.3.2 but multi-selection it's no possible with: Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 62c125bbb4d27631af6cbcb498e765c0b215b734 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-29_19:16:52 only one at time.
Yes, you are right. Fresh profile doesn't change anything.
Issue would seem to be with selection of styles (default and custom) present on the Style List for any component. As Cor notes, once they are selected they can be deleted from the context menu. But presently, one can only select a single style from any of the listings (Paragraph, Character, Frame, Page, List) which is reasonable if it is being applied to a document. What is missing is an ability to manage the style list, e.g. to select multiple from the list and delete. This can be done outside LibreOffice by opening the ODF archive and editing the styles.xml file as needed. But not done "efficiently" within the GUI. Not clear that just adjusting to allow a selection range is the only solution. Went back and checked only one in 3.5, 3.6 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 so no regression. Setting as an enhancement. -=On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US=- Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 62c125bbb4d27631af6cbcb498e765c0b215b734 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-29_19:16:52 Version: 4.3.3.2 Build ID: 9bb7eadab57b6755b1265afa86e04bf45fbfc644 and on -=On Fedora 20, 32-bit LXDE=- Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 3f5251675eeeeae56ea282fdeb09dbc53ce4aae6 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-26_01:09:19

But now thinking: Mateusz, can you please check that the view at the bottom of the Stylist is not set to Hierarchical ? I think that's the solution ;) Cheers
(I think it will be WorksForMe + need for additional Help info maybe)

And then Delete with context menu for the custom styles recorded with the document's ODF archive. All seems correct and WFM. Sorry for the noise.

"All styles" mode fix my problem. But why it doesn't work in Hierarchical view?
