Checkboxes in the admin interface

Description

I absolutely love gregarius, but the admin panel is really bad in terms of usability.

We cannot perform *any* batch operations due to the total lack of checkboxes.

Take this for example: I have just imported an opml list of feeds from planet.mozilla.org into gregarius. Because I cannot choose which folder to import all the items into in the OPML page, they all end up in my root folder.

Now if I want to categorize all those items I imported into a folder called "mozilla", I would have to click on the "Edit" link for EACH item, go to the screen, select the folder, click submit, come back to the main screen, and repeat this for each item. In my case, I would have to do that around 50 times!!

Now if all the items had checkboxes next to them (and the necessary code to handle said checkboxes), I could simply check off all the items I wanted to move, and then select which folder to move them into.

I know there's active development on gregarius, but before concentrating on a hi-fi feature like AJAX tagging (which i admit is really cool), please incorporate some usability into the admin panel, in the form of checkboxes in the items, and folders tab.
