A thread to discuss the new Auto Edit task being worked on
We are working on Auto Edit task that will allows users to batch edit their (whole) collection, start with some of the most common editing tasks users likely to want such as Find and Replace and Capitalization.
Idea is works as follows:
- Selects folder(s)
- Select Auto Edit task
- Select profile
- Goes to options, each tab contains a different kind of edit task that can be performed on one or more fields
Tab1,
Enable Find and replace checkbox
Select metadata fields to edit
Find entrybox
Replace entrybox
Use Regular Expressions checkbox
Case Sensitive checkbox
Tab2,
Enable Capitalizer checkbox
Change case to combo (Title Case, Capitalize Each Word, lowercase, UPPERCASE, Sentence case)
Always UPPERCASE (for Title Case) list
Always lowercase list (for Title Case) list
Keep the same (case sensitive) list
Save tab,
Force Save checkbox
Update MinimServer checkbox - Select Start
- Goes away and modifies files as required
- Creates report showing all changes
Happy to listen to any suggestions.
