How can one change a label
for more than one item at once? E.g. the labels of 10 folder or files.
CTRL-click on those ten items in the Binder. Then right-click on one of them, and use the contextual label. The same can be done in the outline mode of the editor, where you can show a column for Labels of all folders/documents in that view.
On the Mac side, I find that doesn’t work. Only the first item is changed.
Ah, great, got all of it working, many thanks, rdale!
Use CMD on the Mac.
On either platform, you can do the selection for a contiguous swathe of items that are visible (i.e. not collapsed in the view you’re selecting in) by clicking the first item and then SHIFT-clicking the last one.
Remember: setting a label (or any other metadata) this way for a container/“parent” folder or document does not set that metadata for the sub-folders/documents/“children”. You have to expand the binder or outline to expose all sub- documents that you want to act upon.
I see that it works as you say, however, while I’m using CMD to select. I find, contiguous or not, it still won’t work on the Mac, only the first selected item is highlighted. I’m using the menu items in the Inspector.
The inspector only works on one document. You have to right-click (I think that’s either CTRL-click or CMD-click on a trackpad/magic mouse) on one of the selected documents in the binder or outline, then use the contextual menu there to act on multiple documents at once.
