Select multiple items and apply properties to all based on single torrent's properties

In the original Transmission GUI, you are able to select multiple torrents then right-click on a single torrent and select Properties, then when you click OK, it will apply that select torrent's properties to all the highlighted torrents. Would this be something that is feasible?

It is feasible but I didn't implement it because it can easily break your torrents if you accidentally overwrite the private tracker urls for example. And I didn't find a good use case that would provide a benefit/counterweight to that risk.

What is your use case for wanting to batch update torrent properties? Maybe it is something that can be achieved by changing session level defaults instead?

Thank you for the reply.
I usually download from several trackers and once I reach a certain ratio, I manually change the max up/down/ratio values for the completed torrents to an alternate value. It's handy when I am changing many torrents at once.

Another use case is if a private tracker changes its endpoint, it's nice to be able to edit/update all the torrents pointing to the old endpoint in one go.

I would also like this feature. I need to change the announce URL on hundreds of torrents and not being able to make a batch update is a real pain.

This is now possible in v0.10.0.

That was quick. Thank you very much!
