Description
hi,
I just installed VBO and I find it very helpfull.
There is just one thing that might confuse my users.
When I select the taxonomy action for a group of nodes it shows all terms from all vocabularies even if some of the vocabularies are not applicable for any of the nodes.
Can this problem be fixed or is this a not a problem but desired behavior?
greetings

This is a tricky issue to address, because there is no way to know, a priori, which nodes will be selected. They might be of different types that might or might not accept the various vocabularies of the site. To fix this, I see a few possibilities:
1. Define for each VBO which vocabularies should be included in the taxonomy action.
2. Depending on the filters of the view, select the vocabularies that apply to the filtered node types.
3. Depending on the selected nodes, select the vocabularies that apply to their types.
I personally prefer #3 so please let me know if that would work with your users. I can work on this during the next couple of weeks.

Hi kratib,
thanks for the fast reply.
I also think that #3 would be the best sollution for the problem. The others would be faster but you need to save the settings in the database.
For my users there is no difference between these 3 because the list only contains one node type but I think #3 would be the most generic sollution.

Fixed in the latest 6.x-1.x-dev. Please try and let me know. You'll have to wait for the obligatory 12 hours until Drupal.org refreshes the dev release or pull directly from DRUPAL--6-1 branch.
