I filed and it is planned to have it possible to add a parent to a resource group and have all children become part of that resource group: http://bugs.modx.com/issues/5203. It's planned for 2.2.1 currently. This would go well with it too. This would also handle most use cases where newly created resources under the parent would automatically be in that group and you could then override it.

Currently, in the Resource Group manager (/manager/index.php?a=51) you can only drag one resource at a time from the list of resources into the list of resource groups.
Very often you will want to move multiple resources, or nested resources into a resource group. Currently, this means dragging each individual document across which is tedious and error prone. For example to add a section which has dozens or hundreds of documents to a resource group, this has to be done manually, and Batcher does not support changing resource group.
This screen could be improved with:
1) SHIFT keyboard modifier to allow the selection of a series of resources (a la Windows Explorer / OSX Finder) 2) CTRL/CMD keyboard modifier to allow the selection of arbitary multiple resources (a la Windows Explorer / OSX Finder) 3) A keyboard modifier while dragging to toggle "Include child resources" or not 4) Swapping the position of the trees - dragging right to left is unintuitive and breaks convention. Even better would be to use the standard resource tree which is already on screen, rather than duplicate it.
