Tag Operations

Hi,

I think it will be nice to have an option to "bulk" edit tags. for example:
- Rename a certain tag
- Group tags
- Delete certain tags

In that way, I think it will be possible to keep a standard tagging system and easily locate relevant articles according to tags. unfortunately the tags automatically imported are not standard and make a hard time finding relevant articles ...

Any thoughts?
If there is a workaround for this I'd be glad to hear
  • This was suggested 8 years ago and nothing has been done? Tags in Zotero are such a pain, yet it should be possible to bulk edit them quickly. I have seen many people with a similar issue, so it is apparently not a rarity and not due to user error.
  • I was just deleting a single tag from my library and from start to finish took nearly 60 seconds. Zotero quit responding once, and simply doesn't respond to anything during those 60 seconds. I have many tags that need fixing due to the way Zotero imported the file generated from Mendeley, literally hundreds. As you can imagine, it would take days to fix my tags. The javascript option for editing using Firefox does not work on the version of Firefox I am using. Any other suggestions?
