Allow applying tags to several issues at once

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some operations can be performed on several files at once, e.g. auto-tagging.

However, you can’t edit tags on several files at once; if you try, you will 
only affect one of them seemingly at random.

e.g. I want to apply 'Manga: No' and 'Maturity Rating: Mature 17+' to a set of 
files, I have to set those tags on every file separately instead of setting it 
once and 'apply all' or something like that.

It would be nice to be able to do that.

This feature is called "batch editing" and isn't implemented yet in the GUI, 
although it is in the CLI.  Technically it's not difficult, the real challenge 
to this feature is in the UI design, and it may be a lot of work to do it 
right.  

One issue is that when you batch edit, sometimes you want to clear a field, 
sometimes you want change it, and sometimes you want to not change it.  That 
means there needs to be an extra checkbox (or something) to indicate the field 
you want to change.  In addition, the way the credits are structured aren't 
conducive to this feature.

That said, it's something that I DO want to do, and will be thinking about how 
best to implement this feature in the future.

If you are comfortable with the command-line, have a look at the wiki User 
Guide for some help on that interface.
