Batch processing to add tags

[LUCiD]

Hi there jD community and the jD team.

some days ago I wanted to add one or more tags to some downloads and / or categories and I've thought it must be possible, cause at the batch processing for the articles and the categories of the core content it can be done, one tag at a time.

But unfortunately jDownloads hasn't this functionality and so I miss it somehow.

Maybe this is not a rocket science to implement, but I have no idea where to start and perhaps its a good extension for a future version - that would be 

Regards.

Hi,
Yes it would be a good idea to include "add tag" in the Batch processing just as Joomla! has. 

Presently there is a technical problem created by Joomla! where they failed to recognise categories other than Joomla! categories.  This has affected many Components who like jD have their own Joomla! compliant categories.  It means Joomla! team need to revert a patch introduced in the 3.6 series.  They have been avoiding the issue!!!

Hi there Colin,

thanks for your reply!

That means, it is not possible unless the Joomla! team has reverted that patch?

Hi
We are trying to get the status in reverting the patch as it is presently unclear.  It was supposed to be in 3.7.x
