Feature request: Foobar2000-style metadata editing

Request: Allow bulk updates to game metadata using a modified single-game edit panel, rather than (or in addition to) a wizard.

Task: Set a field's value for many games at one time.

Current user behavior: 1. Select multiple games. 2. Right-click and select "Edit". System displays bulk edit wizard. 3. Complete wizard (several clicks).

Proposed user behavior 1. Select multiple games. 2. Right-click and select "Edit". System displays modified verison of the panel used to edit metadata for a single game. 3. User changes value in field, and clicks OK. 4. For fields where user changed the value, write that value to all selected games.

Notes about the proposed modified game metadata edit panel:

For fields where values vary among the selected games, indicate variance of values, either by displaying a direct indication (e.g. an icon), or by populating the field with a comma-delimited array of the values in the underlying games.
Gray out fields that are not already included in the bulk edit wizard (and therefore presumably do not warrant a bulk edit feature).

See attached pictures for illustration.

Thanks! Aaron
