- Display the scope criteria. You could "Mark" the books in the scope, or maybe select them. Wait for Continue/Cancel. On "continue", ensure that the scope is applied, which might mean checking the selection in the library.
- Run the action. Where it makes sense, such as single-field edit, show the results somehow, possibly in the dialog, possibly using marks. Wait for Continue/Cancel.
This would certainly be a fair amount of work, but would provide a lot of flexibility. |
I was thinking along the same lines. More specifically, something like the break points you introduced to the template dialog.
As for displaying the results, was wondering if something like the quick view can be re-used to display the results. If not maybe develop something similar.
Anyway, as you said it is going to be a fair bit of work and it will take sometime before I start working on this.
