Add/Change comments for multiple files and on copy/move

Comments are cool way for me to quick search files by tags or comments in this case. It would be nice to be able to add the same comment for all affected files either through copying, moving, or selecting multiple files. Would it be feasible to add an option to the list of options in the copy/move window to edit/add comments and add the capability to edit comment for many selected files?

What about:
1. create button with cm_SetAttrib command
2. select all files
3. click on created button
4. select Check plugin attributes
5. click on More attributes
6. choose:

Plugin: tc
Property: comment
Value: write your comment here

7. click OK

You can also save this template using F2 Load/save settings in Change attributes dialog.

Fenix Production, you are such a great contributor. I've been using TC for more than 10 years and never known this command's usefulness until now. You've been there for me on more than one occasion.

Thanks a lot FP
