Video-hub-app: Batch adding of tags

[whyboris]

I thought about it, should be simple.

• batch editing mode toggled with a button
  
  
  
  • => opens thumbnails view
  
  
  • => opens the manual tag tray
  
  
  • => tray shows message "select as many videos as you'd like and click on a tag to add the tag to all of them"
  
  
• clicking on any video adds a large checkmark ✅ to indicate "selected"
  
  
  
  • => adds selected: true to _ImageElement_
  
  
• clicking on any tag in the video tray adds the tag to all those videos

🤷 some users have been insisting that batch adding of tags is important to them. Seems like an easy-enough implementation as described above 🤞

I'll implement it unless someone wants dibs 🤝

Oh that would actually be very helpful. I'm going to use VHA for organising films for a film festival. Making it possible to quickly tag multiple video's this way would make tags a lot more useful!

I'll try to finish the feature today -- it's functionally 90% there, just need to make the UI (user interface) intuitive / self-explanatory 😊

Thank you for words of encouragement (knowing a feature is useful to others is motivating) 🤝

You're welcome Whyboris. The whole app makes life a lot more easy for film festivals, especially during selection with this tagging functionality.

I'm a bit of a lurker around here but if you like it I'll make a new feature request here instead of adding it to other posts haha. At least if that's something useful for the development.
