quick-add siblings from selection and context menu
When consolidating data, I frequently use siblings to combine duplicate creator names (or from different services) into one.
Adding any sibling requires several clicks, though you can sort of shortcut it by combining copy N selected with tags > manage tag siblings > import > from clipboard. Doing this adds a to be replaced/ideal with the first and second tag.
Please add an option to the sibling (and parents) context menu that lets you create a sibling or parent based on the selected tags. E.g. if you have four tags selected, a dialog appears letting you select any of the four selected tags, then all other tags in the selection get sibling'd to that one.
You can already do this pretty easily. Select all tags you want to make a sibling for, even including the planned ideal sibling, and open the sibling manager via "add sibling to selection". Copy the ideal from the set tags to be replaced
column and paste it into the set new ideal tag
. The tag will automatically be removed from the left column when it enters the right column.
Not exactly ideal but it already works close enough that I don't think an actual feature for it is worth the time.
