Quick crate assignment

[naught101]

It would be great to have a method of quickly assigning a track to multiple crates. I often want to add a track to a handful of crates at once, and it can get tedious, especially if crate creation is required, and multiple tracks are being crated.

Proposed interface:

1. right click -> quick crate...
2. Model dialogue "Enter some tags, comma separated": [text-box]
3. enter "ambient, dark, instrumental, 90s"
4. track(s) get assigned to each of those crates. If the crates do no already exist, they get created.

This would work particularly well with https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/671632, if ':' is used as a level separator, e.g. "genre:ambient, mood:dark, instrumental, decade:90s".

Also, this would be *great* if it had crate auto-completion, a-la question tagging on stackexchange sites.

I think it may be better to implement this in the deck section of the skins. Or maybe both.

I think if https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1271812 was implemented, right-click on the artist/track title in the deck would solve that problem. I don't think this is big enough to warrant an extra button in each deck.

FWIW, I still think a free-tagging style text-based crate assignment and creation dialogue with autocomplete would be useful, but that could be accessed via the context menu.

Hrm.. I wonder if the existing "Create New Crate" dialogue could be re-jigged for this?

It would need the ability to deal with comma-separated names, ideally with auto-completion, and would need to actually add selected tracks to crates, but it could potentially replace the current "Create new Crate" option all together..
