Yumyum in action

Yumyum (namespace http://brightbyte.de/gm/, URI http://brightbyte.de/gm/yumyum) is a GreaseMonkey script for del.icio.us. It's designed to allow bulk-editing of your tags. The user script is here: (view, install, disclaimer).

Yumyum adds a checkbox to each item, so you can easily choose which items you want to apply changes too. You can apply the following operations:

• select or unselect all
• check all deleted items
• delete all selected items
• share or unshare all selected items
• add or remove a set of tags from selected items
• operate in "bar" mode (top and bottom of item list), or as a fixed "toolbox" stuck on the right side.

Yumyum provides some unrelated usability tweaks:

• temporary "hide" button to clean out your working set
• depinkifies "saved by x other people" notice

Note that Yumyum uses the del.icio.us web API, which requires you to log in again, with HTTP-Authentication. When you open your del.icio.us page for the first time after starting your browser, you will be prompted for your user name and password. This dialog is not controlled by the Yumyum script.

Beware that yumyum may get confused if you are using more than one del.icio.us account - actions will always be performed on the account you first loged into to, you have to completely close the browser to reset it. This is due to the fact the del.icio.us web API uses HTTP-Authentication, which a) cannot be reset (no "logout" option), and also yumyum has no access to the authentication data, and cannot check with which ID you are logged into the API. I hope I'll find a way around this some day.
