Fixed.

This could be easily done by using `completing-read' instead of
`read-string' as when searching for tags, but it would be hard to
combine this with supporting entering multiple tags with a comman in
between.  (This is where Drew comes in and mentions icicle's amazing
multi choice stuff... :)

Try out the new command `file-props-dired-edit' and see if you like
that.

I'll put that on the wish-list.

And this too.

I haven't posted the latest version here yet, but you will find
it on EmacsWiki:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/file-props.el

I probably won't post it here again until I have done something about
the feedback I've got, so until then, use the link above.
