Someone has just made a *very interesting* suggestion to me: why not implement a "copy format" action (like in MS Word, with single click->single edit and double-click->multiple edit modes), which would allow to pick an object to get settings from and apply them to subsequent objects of the same type.
I don't know whether that is better from a coding perspective, but for users it is probably as good as an "edit multiple..." dialog because it allows for in-place editing of objects: you don't have to look them up in a possibly long list with possibly meaningless names, you just click on them.
I personnally think that's the best approach usability-wise (though I must confess I have not tried Andrew's patch and I don't know what the UI is like). Are there other opinions out there ?
