Last change on this file since 7007 was 7007, checked in by kjdon, 20 years ago

made some modifications to the gli help to remove the hunting and mirroring panes. this meant that some strings needed to be changed - I have changed the english ones, and put placeholders in the other langs for them - hopefully someone can translate them :-)

51To update the value of a piece of metadata, first choose the file to which that
52value applies, and then the metadata element whose value you want to change.
53Your selection appears in the metadata edit controls. Edit the value field and
54click "Replace" to alter the metadata.
55<p></p>
56The process is the same when updating a folder with child folders or multiple
57files, except that when you click "Replace" you are asked what to do with the
58other files. The buttons offer different options: "Replace" replaces any
59previous value with the new one; "Replace All" adds the new value in the same
60way to all other files; "Skip File" skips the current file and proceeds to the
61next; "Cancel" undoes any changes and cancels the action. You can only update
62metadata that is common to all files selected. For a folder, this means that
63all its contents must share the same metadata.
64<p></p>
65The value tree shows all previous values, not just those currently assigned.
66Thus the value you have replaced will remain in the value tree.
