Title: remove user field entry from multiple files
Post by: greg on 2017-01-23 05:38:13

Hi, How do I remove a user field entry from multiple files? I populate my user fields from meta data (so that I can search for them easily). The downside of that is that when I remove the metadata entry the value is retained in the user field that has the same name .
As a long way round I'm thinking that if I could delete the user field entry for all the files that have it assigned then they will automatically get it re-created (if metadata exists for the field) on creation of new thumbnail/scanning of tree.
Thanks in advance. from Greg

Hi Greg:

Select the files, go to Thumbnail | Assign User Fields (Ctrl-U), leave the user field in question blank but do mark the checkbox in front of it. Press OK and the selected field will be cleared for all selected files.
