Hello all,

At the Giza Archives Project at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (www.gizapyramids.org) we add ancient Egyptian thesaurus terms to our images in the Media module (Attributes section), so that users can search our images by content. (See http://www.gizapyramids.org, Advanced Search > Advanced Search for Photos).

Currently, each and every attribute must be added manually, a very tedious process, and especially frustrating when two images are nearly identical. We would love to be able to "copy" some or all the attributes assigned to one image, and "paste" them into the attributes for another. 

Would others find such a feature in a future TMS version useful? Alternatively, are there workarounds?

Thanks,

Peter Manuelian
