Transisto (redemption)	Posted: Aug 22, 2010 Score: 2 The trick is simply to use star as a quick way to select task for multi-edit. Save a search called : Starred checked off,: NO Starred : YES Save your starred items elsewhere by Multi-editing the results of "Starred" with something you will never use because you will overwrite data of that field, Ex : If you're to never use Folders for example use Folder:Starred or TAG:WasStarred (I use Status:Cancelled) Then use two broswers, one with "Starred search / multi-edit" and another with normal view to "star" check them. Note : When multi editing for good you have to "Star:NO" every time, Note : Be carefull, because editing TAGs will replace all the previous tags,,, (This problem has already been reported) here (To have your stars back again) a search for Folder:Starred or Tag:WasStared checked off,: NO Tip 2 : Never! wait for features or changes,(However small it is) move on...

simon	Posted: Feb 23, 2011 Score: 0 Apparently, you can now install userscripts directly to Chrome. I have installed the Multi Edit script and it shows up as an Extension. Only problem is I have know idea what to do next. Any advice? Simon
piyush_soni	Posted: Feb 23, 2011 Score: 0 Just 'installing' is not enough. It's been long since you could install scripts directly to chrome, but not all of them world work. The script author has to make it compatible for Chrome, and Google makes it difficult for them to do so. The only advice I have right now is to contact the author and ask for Chrome support :)
johnwin	Posted: Feb 23, 2011 Score: 0 The script author is not re-writing it for Chrome :( See this thread: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/3/7525/2/greasemonkey-script-to-edit-multiple-tasks.html
