Adding to multiple collections (categories) one at a time.

Well I like new library, like new features, BUT adding game to a multiple categories (collections) one at a time is a real step backwards. I mean in right click menu it should be able to check every category you want at once, as it worked by now.
Sorry for my english:)

Like sasilik said, you can do that, but yeah, there shouldn't be a "add" and "remove" option, just a organize one, with checkboxs like before.

Thanks for this method:)

OK, I've got a workaround solution for you guys: Go into Big Pucture mode, select your game and then "manage game => set categories", there you can select multiple categories at once.

I hope Valve won't see this and think "damn it, this is actually more convinient than our way, let's remove it" :D :D

+1. I keep a wide array of categories. Games by:
- Number of Players
- Release Year
- PvP or Co-Op
- Controller support
- All genres
- All subgenres, etc
etc.

A LOT of categories. And it was AWESOME to just tick off a list for each game and then save the selection. NOW? Collections are almost useless AND adding them is tedious. :(
