| 117 | To update the value of a certain piece of metadata, first choose the file to which that value applies. In the Metadata Table control, find the metadata element whose value you want to change, and select it by clicking anywhere in that row. Your selection appears in the MetaEdit Controls above, and the [U]pdate button is activated. Edit the value in the Value Text field and then click [U]pdate to alter the metadata.

|

| 120 | The process is the same when updating a directory with child folders or multiple files, except that pressing [U]pdate yields a prompt to specify what to do with child files. The buttons offer different options: '[R]eplace' replaces any previous value with the new one; 'R[E]place All' adds the new value in the same way to all child files; '[S]kip File' skips the current file and proceeds to the next; '[C]ancel' undoes any changes and cancels the action. Note that you can only update metadata that is common to all files selected. For a directory this means that all its children must share the same metadata.
