Copy and Paste Tags
Metadatics includes the ability to copy metadata from one file to another. You can also copy from one file to multiple files at once. Or, you can copy from a group of files and paste to another group of files.
When copying, you have the option to copy all tags or copy selected tags. Copy all tags will copy every tag in every selected file. Copy selected tags will only copy the tags that are selected in the All Tags panel.
When pasting you have the following three options:
- Paste Tags - Replacing Existing Values. If any tag values that you are pasting already exist in the file you are pasting to, those will be overwritten. All other tags in the file you are pasting to will remain the same.
- Paste Tags - Replacing All Values. All existing tags in the file you are pasting to will be removed and replaced with the tags that are being pasted. Only the tags that were pasted will remain in the destination file.
- Paste Tags - Add To Existing Values. This will keep all of the tags in the destination file and add to any values that already exist in those files. You may end up with multiple values for the same tag using this option.
If more files are being pasted to than were copied, you will be presented with the option to paste to all of the files or to paste to only the number of files that were copied.
