Description

This is a complementary report to bug #4276. Essentially the Category object browser seems to be too limited in it's options for selecting objects to manipulate to realise the full potential that categories might offer. Specifically, the lack of a way to select all objects, or all objects *not* in a category prevents practical application of categories to large numbers of objects.

The use case in question: a site which needs review. I need to add all the wiki pages and articles to a "Requires Review" category following an update of a very old site with lots of content. I cannot, because the limit of 50 items on a page stops me from adding the lot in one go, and the lack of any discernible way to select objects which are *not* yet in the category for addition stops me from adding 50 at a time. I seem to be at an impasse, short of writing my own PHP code to add objects en-masse.
