Asset Library Management - Bad or just me?

The management of the art asset library seems very poor in terms of functionality and UX. I'm hoping it's just me and there is a better way to do this, or if not there is a better UI planned! Things like: -Assets being automatically tagged by filename, forcing you to go through them one by one to delete auto tags (which requires clicking on lots of tiny Xs where misclicks open the tagging dialogue) -No way to auto tag a bulk upload -No way to shift-select multiple assets to tag/delete -No ability to press 'enter' after typing a tag in the tagging window to move onto typing the next tag; have to manually click 'add' each time you type a tag and then click back in the tag box -No way to open a large asset library window to browse a large number of assets Can anyone point me to what Im missing and/or is this on a feature list somewhere? VTT lives or dies on its assets and usability thereof, I'd be surprised if this hasn't been brought up before. Cheers!

You can auto tag a bulk of images in your library once they're uploaded. Go to your personal library and click on an image. This will wrap the image entry in a blue marquee selection. Click on more image assets to include them in the marquee. Whenever you select an image or images in this way you get a popup window that allows you to add tags to all of the selected images all at once or delete a certain tag all at once. You can also deselect the images as well as select all your images in the library. You lastly can delete the marqueed images. Pressing enter to autocomplete the tag only works when you're adding tags to individual image entries, not through the above method. Edit: Also moved this thread to a different forum.
Yeh I have that thanks. Unfortunately this is only a minor help and the above mentioned points are a huge timesink! Cheers

Why would you want to delete the filename tag out of curiosity? I find that particular tag extremely useful.
I dont find it useful - i just find it messy. Surely it would be best to give the option of autotagging instead of doing it like this, so we can tag how we feel we'd best use it. Since already here we have 2 different opinions on the use of it! just to clarify - roll20 is awesome, this bit is just fiddly ;)
