Mass Editing of Properties
Mass Editing of Properties
(OP)
Does anyone know of a program/utility that will edit the SW Properties, in mass? Meaning, I can select a bunch of SW files, and add/remove/change any properties, and voila, away it goes.
I am aware of propagator, but I'm looking for others,
Thanks in advance,

perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I dind't mean the mass, and in the weight of something, but doing a bunch of files all at once.
I guess the correct term is "en masse", but I couldn't figure out how to edit my post :)

We use Propagator at my company, but I know the task scheduler does it also...not sure how well though!

I'm giving the task scheduler a spin now, but what about this scenario.
I have a property named "part number", an example value is "123-7654". I want to change the "123" to "456" but keep the rest, so the new value is "456-7654"
it seems task scheduler will not allow these types of changes.

Any particular reason you don't want to (or can't) use Propagator?

It will allow you to bulk add, bulk delete, and bulk rename, one attribute at a time. It works pretty well, but doesn't go into configuration specific custom properties however.
If you feel bold enough to write your own macro (I did for the first time about 6 months ago) you should also check out ht

After reading your last post, I think your best solution will be to write your own macro.

as for why I don't wanna use propagator.... not sure really, just some of the guys I work with used it in the past and weren't too happy with it.
