There are two possibilities: one for Lenya1.2's file system, the other
a potential structural change for Lanya1.4.

The following methods do not record when the documents were published,
but will change the "live" version to the latest "authoring" version.
To publish the entire Authoring section when using the file system for
the datastore (such as 1.2, or 1.4 without Jackrabbit):
1. Rename the {pub}/content/live directory. (I use date-based backups
such as "live.20051217".)
2. Copy the entire {pub}/content/authoring to {pub}/content/live.
Publishing part of Authoring requires manually updating
{pub}/content/live/sitetree.xml with the information of documents that
have not been published at least once. If the documents have been
published once, and the Navigation Titles are correct, then
overwriting the existing files in "live" with the ones from the
Authoring section will "publish" them (bypassing Lenya.)
==
For Lenya1.4:
The current tree-based datastore makes operations on multiple files
rather difficult. We discussed changing the data structure to a flat
datastore for Lenya1.4. That would make operations on multiple
documents easy. I (and you?) would like a screen of all documents
ready for publishing, with the ability to check the boxes and "Publish
Selected Documents". The only downside (besides programming time) is
the manual method above would be impossible, but just changing to
Jackrabbit already has that effect.
I do not know if anybody has started work on converting the datastore..
