Title: How to Do Global Changes to Text Within Tags
Post by: DWAnderson on June 28, 2006, 10:12:52 am

Before I figured out how tagging mode works, I filled the "People" field of about 3000 photos with the initials of the people in them separated by commas not the more useful semicolons.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how I can change all those commas to semicolons with having to manually edit all 3000 tags?

Actually, "Find and Replace"    :)

- Select the images
- Open the tool
- Tick only the People field.
- Find what: ,   (type also the space character if you used it)
- Replace: ;

Make a library backup before starting (File > Library > Backup Library) and try with a few files first.
