A patch to do it is here :

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/misc.tarballs/commentstagsprogress.patch

This one include to run a progress bar on the top of sidebar when :

- Apply button is pressed
- More button options are used.

TODO : handle Tags drag & drop.

...but, there is a problem with this solution...

We need to fix all DMetadata call everywhere in digiKam to used MetadataHub 
instead. This not yet done for example with all Drag and drop actions from 
others sidebar (TagsFilter for example)

... and we need to give a progress feedback everywhere, because metadata to 
write in pictures can take a while with huge selection.

I think than an ultimate solution is to use a _Status Bar_ on the bottom of 
Album gui.

What do you think about ?

Nota : Image editor is not affected here because it work only on a single 
image.
