The attached patch makes the taxonomy select menus more flexible. Specifically, it lets you edit more than one node's taxonomy within the same form.

This is best illustrated using the taxonomy_multi_edit.module in Contrib. That module was inspired by Christina's wireframe at http://drupal.org/node/view/8243. A screenshot of the module (pre tabs) is at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/modules/taxonomy_multi_edit/....

The taxonomy_multi_edit module might be a good candidate for core once folks start using and refining it.

This patch also removes the behavior where taxonomy remembers your last choice for a given vocab *and automatically selects it for you*. That is poor behavior. If someone changes a date or author in a node, he is likely to inadvertently add taxo terms using with this 'feature'. Perhaps that functionality can return later with a better implementation.

In the light of this query in Home » forums » Support » Post installation questions, Any way to batch add taxonomy terms ?, does the batch mode for editing taxonomy referred to here exist or not? If it does not, is it likely to be added at any point in the future?

thanks

Polgard
