User warning, when replacing or removing Meta in multiple editing. #143

When multiple videos are selected, it is possible to replace, add or remove each meta data from the selected videos. The problem is that is possible to accidentally replace the meta data, when actually you want to just add. Depending on the case it can be a huge problem depending on how much data gets lost by this mistake.

One way to make this less likely to happen, is to make the add option to appear before the replace option, since adding by mistake instead of replacing is less harmful than the other way around.

A more robust option is to show a warning dialog before replacing or removing data, which would help to avoid the mistake. However since the dialog can become annoying when replacing a lot of data in sequence, it could be turned on or off in the options.
