Awesome! Yes, please, push it in Integration soon, I'd love to see it in 
action! I currently cannot see the horizontal slide in action in Alarms, 
as due to the keyboard bug I cannot enter text for a new alarm and it 
does not let me create one without text, so I cannot remove any by 
sliding :(

But in general I think this could work: Horizontal slide for additional 
options in vertical lists, vertical slide for options in horizontally 
scrolling grids like the resources grid (not implemented yet, but we've 
talked about the idea).

Why do we need a separate UI for that? You can just select a single 
file, see which tags turn blue and then drag it to the ones you want to 
remove. Why a different UI for single vs. multiple files?
Or do the tags not turn blue if a file they're associated with is 
selected? I don't have my Wetab here so I can't look... If that's not 
the case, then we need some way to indicate which of the tags are 
associated to the selected file(s). It should not differ between single 
and multiple files, though, and I don't think a new UI is needed. The 
current tag UI should work for that.

I think assigning/removing via drag&drop in Files and additionally via 
SLC should be sufficient.
