On the subject of merging, I would love to be able to create a merge
profile that allows me to define tags to keep when I merge bibs in a
record bucket. Right now, I have to copy and paste what I want to
keep from the "losing" record into the "winning" one before I
actually merge the bibs, and it can be pretty labor intensive.
Oh, and instead of "show all in catalog" in the record bucket, I'd
love to be able to highlight only the records I want to show in the
catalog and just have those records open in each tab.

I concur with both of these wishlist items. I hadn't tested either of these
issues when I was looking at Vandelay. Does anyone know if there is a reason
why the record source isn't updated during an overlay or is it an oversight?
Or maybe there is a way of doing it that I just haven't seen? To do so, I
expect the system would need to distinguish between records that are truly
being overlaid versus those that are just being merged.
