Multiple Product Editing/Deleting

I just moved to Zen from OSCommerce and did a huge import.

I want to scale down my catalog a bit. I want to delete a whole heap of products. Is there a simple way to delete multiple products at once? Is there an existing "mod" to maybe show a list of products with checkmarks next to them, with a Delete button that will delete all of the ones I checkmarked? Or.. is there an easy way with the current setup?

Also, how can I move a bunch of products to a different category easily?

I seen mention of a mass update tool for products but it seems it only change prices... is that right?

Thanks!

Re: Multiple Product Editing/Deleting

Easy Populate is a popular contribution that is used to update mass amounts of data.

I use Easy Populate v1.2.5.5 and it works great for mass updates of data (you can also delete). NOTE: Many users still recommend using an older version which is v1.2.5.4.

There is also a Easy Populate Wiki page with some good information on it's use and the support thread can be found here.

Easy populate is what you are referring to
If you understand how it functions then you can use it
