Batch deleting images #2906

Open kandakoj opened 2 years ago

Feature or enhancement

I know that creating tools to batch destroy data can be very very dangerous (especially on platforms with multiple users), but if Taxonworks is to be used as an active part of project management, instead of just a final depository of "final" data to be archived, there needs to be some tools to batch destroy/modify data.

For my specific project, it would be great if I could delete multiple images selected in the filter image view. To prevent accidents, maybe when you select all the images you want to delete and click a button, it will take you to another task where all the image details of the selected images (creator, depictions, etc) are summarized in a single page that you can review before clicking "definitely delete" and/or maybe this task can be restricted to admin users.
