Merging tags could use a "yes to all" option so that repeat notices don't show up for many tag merges.

At the moment it takes a long time, waiting, watching, for every "Tag already Exists - Merge?" popup.

So, like with a file system copy where there are overwrites and the option is "Yes, No, Yes to all"

Thank you!

Hmm, that's actually what the checkbox "Do not ask again at this session" is for.

Hi Maik,
Perhaps user wants validate case by case the way to import tags without checking, not forever...

Pardon, I mean moving tags, not merging tags.
So, when moving the sub-tags of a tag to an existing tag, that option doesn't show up. It just asks every time.

A
-1
-2

B
-1
-2

When moving B(1+2) to A, then it merges. But it doesn't present 'don't ask' question.
Also, The 'yes to all' would only refer to this mass move, not to the user session in the program.

So, to be clear, I am moving all the items in 'auto' to a tree root '_eb7'. The tree root already has many of the items in the 'auto' tree.
Then it asks for each tag merge to yes/no and there is no 'yes to all' option.
Thank you.
