I never used pinboard. What features do you expect from the bulk tag manager? What do you want to do that can be solved with a bulk tag manager?

[gingerbeardman]

• edit tags in bulk
• rationalise
• coallesce
• etc

[cweiske]

"edit tags in bulk" only means bulk deletion, right?

[gingerbeardman]

on pinboard, yes.

but we can do better! it would be very useful if you could also merge tags. eg. album + albums

most importantly, the bulk tag view allows you to filter by

• free text search
• all
• used once (essential!)
• common
• selected

So you can filter and select many tags in multiple repeated steps, and then do a delete (or, better, merge)

Example, a filter that showed singular and plurals of the same word to aid merging.
