Use folder batch mode

In addition to editing these extended attributes for one file (or folder) at a time, SearchKey lets you change one or more of them for entire folders full of files and sub-folders. This is most useful for adding common metadata, such as copyright information, to a large number of files.

First, click on the  Select folder  button and select the folder which contains all the items (files, folders, and files and folders nested within those folders) which you want to change. This clears the contents of all the text boxes.

Next, enter the text which you want to appear in one or more of the extended attributes, using the same conventions as for single files. 

When you are ready to apply those changes, click on the  Write to folder  button and SearchKey will then change or add those extended attributes throughout the selected folder.
