Multiple file selections - recursive ?

[AndrewC]

Hi, I want to change a bunch of IPTC file info. My images are located in a folder with several subdirectories. Can I recursively select all images in all folders in all levels so I can make a global batch IPTC change ?

Thanks, Andrew

See the Thumbnails Options menu.

That indeed lets me select all thumbnails, but I want to select all files and apply the IPTC editor - am I missing an obvious step somewhere ?

So I figured a way to open all the files in the viewer (just use the search function and search subfolders), I can then "Show all in Viewer" and the viewer window status bar shows x/abc. But i'm still blocked on how to select all these files to edit the IPTC together. I guess I'm missing something basic

You are missing something, but it was not obvious. After selecting all the thumbnails, from the File menu, select JPG lossless operatons, Set IPTC data to selected files.

Success, thanks
