Hi @Don-vip !
I'm tagging you here since you're a power user of Cat-a-lot, especially for editing large numbers of files. We think this feature could be particularly useful for your workflow. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback when you have time.

Wow this looks awesome, thank you! I'll try it as soon as I have the need to process an entire category and let you know.

I found a bug, I selected all files of a category that only contains 4 pictures, and I got this popup:

Thanks for testing, @Don-vip! That’s actually not a bug, I had temporarily lowered the manual file selection threshold for easier testing. It’s now been reset to 200, so the confirmation popup should only appear for genuinely large manual selections going forward. It should behave as expected now. :)
If you notice anything else, feel free to let me know!

OK I no longer have the error, now it works as expected. I submitted two batches, it works very fine. Thank you for this very useful work, it will save me a lot of time in the future!

One report in talkpage was that "Other comment: the new version did not allow for recategorizing the same file to the same cat with a new sort key after the pipe, the old version does that well."

I think that it doesn't pass the new sortkey to quickcategories (so this is confirmed there). However, does this happen also when page is edited with cat-a-lot too?

Hmm, now the T395770 is more or less (i hope) successfully out i think that this one is next one. I think that technically version 06:53, 18 August 2025 works. (as newer version have new changes compared to version which was in testing), but there are some user interface what will still need to be addressed

1. As there is already new interface elements in Cat-a-lot dialog so quickcategories integration should be more minimalistic when it adds new UI elements (because limited screen estate)
2. Since users need to log in to QuickCategories before linking works, this needs to be communicated to the user somehow. I was thinking something like this:
   • the "first time" a user starts to delegate tasks to QuickCategories, there would be an information dialog with steps explaining what the user needs to do, along with a link to QuickCategories and user info.
   • Only after the user has acknowledged this dialog would it continue with submitting data to PetScan and opening the QuickCategories link.
   • The info dialog would be shown every time until the user checks the "Do not show again" checkbox in the dialog.
   • Information about whether the user has checked the checkbox can be saved using mw.Api().saveOption() and can be read with mw.user.options.get().
