I'd like to build an admin layer that allowed users to edit multiple assets at the same time.
For example, metadata that toggled between 'Empty' and 'Full' - it would be a pain to have to access an asset simply to toggle one control; much more usable to expose all assets on the same edit screen, choose the appropriate value (one of two radio buttons) for each and hit 'Submit'.
Has anyone done anything like this?
Yeah, we have done this sort of thing for calendar events.
Using a mix of asset listings, triggers, and javascript you can easily accomplish this.

We built something like this for early prototypes of the Easy Edit Suite, but it never made it into production as the functionality did not really have generic appeal. You can make the operations appear seamless using the JS API and even affect multiple assets with one API call (batchRequest).
