Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "BulkMetadataEditor".
Then install it like any other Omeka plugin.
- After a successful process, records must be reindexed in order to find them via the quick search field.
- The change "Append text to existing metadata in the selected fields" appends text only if there is already a metadata.
- A space is automatically added with the change "Append text to existing metadata in the selected fields".
- The preview may fail when there is a lot of fields or changes to prepare. Nevermind, the true process will work fine even with a huge number of items and fields, because it is done in the background, without the limit set by the server. Nevertheless, it's recommended to avoid too large updates.
Use it at your own risk.
It's always recommended to backup your files and database regularly so you can roll back if needed.
