bulk changes to entry security page
Title:
bulk changes to entry security page
Area:
entries
Summary:
a) There doesn't seem to be an easily visible link to http://www.dreamwidth.org/editprivacy.bml; b) it might be useful to allow mass privacy changing by tag or similar feature
Description:
a) As stated, http://www.dreamwidth.org/editprivacy.bml is not an easy page to locate. On LJ, it is linked in the header of the Edit Entries page http://www.livejournal.com/editjournal.bml but not on the equivalent here: http://www.dreamwidth.org/editjournal. It would probably also be useful to list it on the Site Map.
b) Currently it is only possible to mass change security by date of posting; I would find it very useful to be able to do so by tag as well. I periodically set all my older posts to friends/access-only, but I also have a set of posts marked "public" which I don't want locked, and therefore have to go back and manually change the security on. I'm sure there are other reasons why the feature would be useful to people, as well. I can't think of any obvious drawbacks, unless it is super-complicated coding or something.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
