Bulk Tag Management

Just got my beta invite and so far this thing is a beauty! Very excited to put it through its paces.

I noticed there's currently no way to manage multiple tags in the app. If that's already on the roadmap, great, and apologies for the redundancy. If not, please consider it, if at all possible. I am apparently not great at coming up with catchy book titles because roughly half the time, my publisher changes them at some point during the process. It would be great if I could batch change all relevant notes and research from the old title tag to the new one.

If that's not possible, perhaps adding something to Tagging and Metadata documentation that mentions how to bulk edit file tags via macOS's Info panel, and the expected behavior the next time it launches in nvUltra? I just tried it out, and it's clunky, but still a lot better than individually editing 50 files. And if this is the intended way to bulk edit tags in nvUltra, perhaps allow an automatic bulk change acceptance prompt upon relaunch after tag editing in macOS, rather than having the user accept the change for each file only when they click in the edit window for that file.

Thanks!

  I agree that the tagging system has room for improvement and we're still working out our roadmap there. Batch tagging is definitely a consideration.
