Moving articles/stories to a new group

I have a question/suggestion. Is there a good way to move a lot of stories from one group to another group from the web interface? If not I would like to put in a request for this feature. I was recently asked if this was possible and my only response was that Yes, it can be done via the database with a script or at least more quickly through phpmyadmin. My proposed structure is to add this functionality to the story listing page by making the topic value directly editable with a menu as well as a checkbox for 'draft' and 'featured'. A save button would submit the changes. This seems a lot more intuitive than a separate tool for doing this but also less powerful than say selecting all the stories you want to move to a topic and submitting that as a change. I may make one of those as well in the end though.

As you said, this is currently only possible if you do it directly in the database.

And, as usual, feature requeasts are best posted on the project pages.

bye, Dirk
