Is this a duplicate of #2935?
aakbar5 commentedon Apr 5, 2019
Nope, it is different. This feature will allow to execute actions for multiple selected notes at once.
IssueHuntBot commentedon May 23, 2019
@BoostIO has funded $80.00 to this issue.

@fabiospampinato I couldn't recall where I saw this feature originally but I don't see any reason of not implementing a good feature.
rathod-sahaab commentedon Aug 9, 2020
So, I have already figured out how to code this. But I need some opinions on specific UX of this feature.
When should the dialog pop up
Should we show preview of the files?
Currently, only the preview of most recent selection is shown shown. By preview I mean the file is shown.
Though this works fine with
ctrl + clickwhich is used to select one by one but withshift+clickmultiple notes can be selected at once so preview of most recent note rule doesn't covers that.Though I believe it's not much of a problem, note titles work fine for me.
What's your view on this @aakbar5
aakbar5 commentedon Aug 9, 2020
@rathod-sahaab, in my opinion preview should show list or thumbnail of the selected notes instead of any note preview.
Flexo013 commentedon Aug 9, 2020
@rathod-sahaab I would definitely go for option 1. As for previewing the notes, the highlighted titles on the side should be sufficient. For a v1 we could do without the preview, and then add the preview later on.

Thank you @aakbar5 and @Flexo013, I will send the PR soon, currently I am busy with my GSoC projects so will do it on side.
rathod-sahaab commentedon Aug 12, 2020
@aakbar5 what are functions of buttons in second row of your mock-up? I can only understand delete
aakbar5 commentedon Aug 13, 2020
@rathod-sahaab I think icons should be (1) Move to trash (2) Permanently delete (3) Publish (4) Export to pdf or .md files
rathod-sahaab commentedon Aug 29, 2020
Instead of a text box where we enter tag name to remove I plan on reusing something like this, where new tag will be added to all, selected and every unique tag from the selection will be shown
rathod-sahaab commentedon Sep 15, 2020
I updated designs a bit for export options shown as different icons, let me know if it's fine, some icons are missing I'll add them soon
