Is it possible to flag a bunch of DVDs, and then simply set them all to be loaned to one person?  I had to do them one by one - a real pain.  It seems like the "flagged" section in the "Collection" menu would be a natural place for it, but I guess not.

This could certainly be done, but it presents a bit of a programming and usability issue. You will notice that the menu options changes depending on whether the DVD is still out on loan. In that case, you can only return it or extend the load period.

If you allowed a flagged operation, you would potentially offer to loan out DVDs that are not available. Then you would need some sort of resolution process, or some way of indicating which DVDs couldn't be loaned - then for consistency, you might want to offer the same options for returning (before re-loaning) or for extening the loan period.

I have a bunch of BulkEdit changes pencilled in, and I could add some kind of interim support for this. If so, how would you see it working for your purposes?
Thanks for your support.
