Gotta love XML. `grep Rating: .../*.gq.xmp` would be super-fast.

I agree with Klaus: while this would work for me, that is only the case because
I only ever use keywords as a proxy for star ratings ("good," "vgood," etc.).
If I actually used keywords appropriately, this wouldn't be very useful.
Something like "Add/Remove keyword Foo to/from the selected images" would be a
nice short-term solution. I think a fantastic (longer-term) way to solve this
problem is demonstrated by the exfalso audio tag editor (which I've only ever
used as embedded in the quodlibet audio player).
Here, I selected a group of tracks crossing an album boundary, then
right-clicked and hit "Edit Tags":
http://ocaml.xvm.mit.edu/~xsdg/stuff/geeqie/exfalso1.png
From the dialog that pops up (top-right corner), it's obvious which tags are
shared and which aren't. You can edit any value (regardless of whether it
differs or not) and all of the tracks will have that tag set to the new value.
You can see how intuitive this is. When I deselect the three tracks from the
'Out of Exile' album and hit "Edit Tags" again, it now looks like this:
http://ocaml.xvm.mit.edu/~xsdg/stuff/geeqie/exfalso2.png
In the context of geeqie, we could simply show the tree of tags, and for each
one, have a check-box that is either filled, empty, or gray (or something else
to denote "tag not uniformly selected/deselected"). Then you can click
checkboxes to add or remove that tag from all of the selected photos. Have a
"Revert" button so users know off-the-bat that they can mess up and start over,
and also a right-click "Revert this tag" option so that people can revert
individual mistakes. Et voila.

This just blew my mind.
