Selecting all starred photos

I need to select all of the photo's that we recently starred.  The only way I can see them all together is on my homepage but from there you cannot select multiple photo's and there are no checkboxes...

    Starring a file only makes it appear on your home page for quick access. There's no way to select all or filter on all starred files.

If I can't figure this out I am a DEAD man LOL!  Really not funny :(

 

Is there is no way other way to do this other than opening each individual picture from my homepage and downloading them 1 at a time?

Just a thought, one your Dropbox home page, can you not just drag and drop each starred image into a new folder? Still a bit laborious, but would get the job done.

Nope, can't even do that.  Starring is essentially useless.
