--- Comment #10 from Such A Shame <myaccount...@protonmail.com> ---
For repeated tasks there's just too much unnecessary clicking when you have to
use separate window, including selecting background window, switching control
panel tabs and emptying the queue. (You can't even click-by-click remove single
items from queue in cases that would be faster, but you have to select next
file after deleting previous...) To some extent would be helpful even if the
queue could be set to automatically emptied after running.

However context menu integration would be the easiest way to handle this kind
of extra automation which wouldn't need to be included to actual tool/manager
itself. I'm quite sure this feature could be implemented with rather small
amount of code calling existing methods the way that they're run together
without further interaction during the whole process after selecting items and
executing command from context menu.

i) transmit list of selected items to this pipe
ii) apply desired command to them
iii) reset feature (remove queue and possibly command it it's left preset)
iv) end

It's already possible to close the bqm window during process and see the
progress bar at main window status bar, so no window need to be opened at all.
So part of the problem is that whatever was done is left to bqm if reopened and
causes hazzle to run even same commands to different files, and running them
could have easier method/alternative in the first place.

Tool itself is very nice, including how database is maintained both in
replacing and creating new files. I've yet to experiment running multiple
commands at once.
