Using an Advanced Search and/or a filter to bulk add or remove tags to a set of tiddlers.

[robert....@gmail.com]

They way I work with spreadsheets is to keep a task per row and then I add a few status columns to help create various views.

I can do this in TiddlyWiki by opening each Tiddler and tagging it, using tags as the status column.

This works, but it gets cumbersome after about five or so tiddlers.

What I'd like to do is use a filter to add or remove tags to a set of filtered tiddlers.

Ideally, I'd like to see this function as one of the buttons on the "Advanced Search" / Filter page.  Alongside of the  filtered export and filtered delete functions.

I've been looking for a few days, assuming this is a common thing to do, but so far, I've had no luck.

Is there a way to do this?

Hello there. I'm not so sure if the following is something you would want, but in terms of tagging multiple post at a time, I'd say it get the job done.

In terms of how it works is you'd have all the posts you want tagged on the story river and then whatever term you have typed in the search bar becomes the tag for all those posts.

The code and the original discussion I got this from is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/qo0kmYAhyMg

Thanks CD.

I think I found what I need:  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/http$3A$2F$2Fbatchmanipulator.tiddlyspot.com$2F%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/qMsN8KFxSjk/vMqlYGSFAwAJ

The batchmaniuplator plugin is good enough.
