link 1 product to several categories at once

[dedj]

Hi.
Have searched the forums, but can't seem to find an answer on exactly what i'm looking for..

I'm doing a webshop with car parts.

For example, I've added a product named "frontbrakepads" modelcode 25-102 under acura/cl/brake.

this same product i want to link to categories:
- acura/integra/brake
- acura/nsx/brake
- acura/rsx/brake
- acura/tl/brake
- honda/accord/90-97/brake
- honda/accord/98-02/brake
and lots of civic's
etc etc

Hopefully you see my problem, It's time devastating to click on a product, click C button and link it to one category at a time, then do this 20 times, for this particular frontbrakepad, then same thing for 2 other frontbrakepads.
And then do the same with the rearbrakepads, BUT i can't use the "copy all products from category to category" since all the products in the acura/cl/brake category doesnt fit all the same cars, some cars have other rear brakepads etc etc.

How can I do this easiest?
All I can think of at the moment is to do the many hours of clicking using C button and linking the product to one category at a time.

One more thing, I have read that you guys write a notice while the subject it "multiple categories link manager" that you have to have a product in a category for it to get even shown in the "available for linking categories".
My problem is that since my webshop is empty at the moment i don't have items under every category hence don't get them listed to fast link them to several categories if I know the category #id.

I would need some kind of solution where you press you want to link a product, and then can scroll down a list with checkbox so i can checkbox all the categories at the same time that I need this product to be linked to, and press update button.

Is there anything like this I have missed in zencart? Or do you guys have some tips and solution on how to do this. I don't want to spend hours linking a product to one category at a time.

I've added a product and linked it (the time consuming way) to a few categories, below is some issues i've encountered along the way.
I've tried to link a product by linking it 1 category at a time, one bad thing is that I can't see all the categories it's been linked to, it only says "Current Categories: Brakes > TL > Acura > Brakes > RSX > Acura > Brakes > NSX > Acura > Brake > Integra > Acura >&n"

If there would be a scrollist and checkboxes then it would be easier to see if you have accidently linked it to wrong category rather than only lots of ID#'s in multiple links category manager; pasting example on which are written for me at the moment.
Linked: ID# 28,60,39,76,55

What I am looking for is a feature like attached picture.
If it doesnt exist, will there be a similar feature in zencart anytime soon?
thanks
