Description

It would be nice if you first could select some set of ndoes on admin/content/node and then assign taxo terms using this module on its extra tab. The current selection should be shown above the table.

A bit like this.

I think it would be nice to integrate the whole thing with the node.module's overview, but this doesn't seem to be possible. One could usee hook_menu_alter to replace core's admin UI, though.

Well yeah
Adding a filter to the tab is an idea... but it looks like a lot of work to replicate - mostly by copy&paste - that big filter and pager.
I've taken that code apart twice already in different reincarnations, and still haven't seen anything easily steal-able.

Which is why I choose to enhance the admin/content/node form with extra functions rather than replicate it.

The UI on the tab is almost a lost cause for me. I think we'd win more by adding AJAX actions to the admin/content/node table. Add to the working context rather than clone/branch it.

I second some kind of filtering on that form. Since most things imported are nodes, there are a lot of clutter in the listing.
