Description
It is not yet possible to remove a tag en masse from a large selection.
Especially since it is possible to simultaneously ADD tags to a large selection of items, it seems only reasonable that the reverse should also be possible. This is especially important for inadvertent tag application and misclicks when adding tags.
Solution
I imagine a UI similar to the one seen in the sidebar. As is, when you mouse over a tag on an item in its side bar, the tag has a little minus "-" removal button that appears.
Something similar should be possible in the add tags pane. I made a mockup:
But if not "removal," then as my mockup also implies, "un-adding" would be a good alternative. It would be very intuitive if every tag that was on every individual item that was selected was in the list with an icon indicating its status across the selection.
There is a relatively common UI convention to have "partial" checkboxes to represent this:
(I have also seen the "partial" represented as a filled square.) If every single selected item had a given tag, it would have a Checkmark. If only some of them did, then it would be the partial icon. Clicking on the partial check would fill them all in as checked, after which they could then be all unchecked by clicking again on the same box.
