  For multi selecting content and saving of selections on a per user base for batch processing beyond the folder_contents listing selections take a look at the upcoming package inqbus.plone.clipboard.

  I wrote a proposal in the plane to bristol on a "get and set" approach to filter data when transfering data from existing content (or template content) to other already present objects. I.e. it is extremely useful to limit the takeover of author, datetime stamps and keywords when copying content if necessary to avoid mess up of metadata by stupid copying of stuff (invisible at the first view in the UI) by average endusers. The "Paste Special dialog box" feature in spreadsheet applications or the GetAttribute and SetAttribute functions in 2D/3D CAD applications are good examples.

  There are some other useful tasks that could certain be applied to determined selections, not only from the folder_contents listing or collection results. I wrapped up some of them (the tasks) internally, and they need some final touchup prior to publication. Additional to plone.app.batch take a look at the current state of the work of Maik Derstappen who started development of user specific "listings" that could be a cool selection tool for batch processing TTW. http://plone.org/products/inqbus.plone.clipboard (seems not yet published, but I saw a cool interface running at the Dresden DZUG meeting 2010)

  We currently have plone.app.batch, started as a 2008 GSOC project. It works pretty well, but It needs more work, but needs more polishing (and a long-term maintainer) before it could really be a solid core PLIP. A great opportunity for someone new to step up!
