Has anyone implemented such a feature in Freevo yet? I haven't seen it - I've 
come close to coding it up myself a few times. ^_^

Here's how I envisage it working (roughly):
  - One of the "Enter" (e) options for a file is "Tag/Untag" (Or Mark/Unmark, 
etc...), which adds or removes the file from an internally tracked list of 
tagged files
  - Similar option for Directories, allowing tagging of a whole dir
  - Idlebar plugin to display number of tagged files/dirs, as well as total 
size
  - "Enter" option for Directory to Move Tagged Files to it
  - "Enter" option for Directory to Copy Tagged Files to it
  - "Enter" option for Directory to save play-list of Tagged Files
  - "Enter" option for Directory to Delete all Tagged Files
  - Top level "dir" (per media type - similar to the CD-ROM special dir) to 
browse only Tagged files (only visible when some files/dirs are tagged)

I think this would be a fairly easy  to use implementation to provide group 
copying/deleting of files, and could be expanded for CD burning of tagged 
files, etc...

Other expansions which may be a bit harder (hotkey/gui changes):
  - Additional key-bind to toggle "Tagged" status of currently hilighted file/
dir (saves having to rummage through the "Enter" menu)
  - Symbol or Font Style change to show Tagged status

What do you think? Any better way of doing this sort of thing?
