Works like charm

Ok it works fine! I was not using it properly!

nicely works

Essencial! Work Anki 2.1.35.

Works perfectly!! Thank you so much.

work

Saves a lot of time

Really great addon, encouraged me to get the better tags addon off glutanimate's patreon which gives the same functionality and 10x times more. Thanks for all the work!

Good Job! Keep going!

Very useful

Sensacional, funcionou perfeitamente !

Tks

Really helpful :)

This addon has saved me hours. It is the reason why I decided to support the author on Patreon. I had done a bad tagging job, started to tidy up - but it was taking way to much time. The drag&drop made possible by this addon is a game changer!

Thanks so much for the kind words, and for your support on Patreon! Really glad I could help with the add-on :)

Well done!

it's so fast

Works perfectly!

Incredibly useful Add-on. Thanks a lot!

great addon

Work is done much faster with this add-on. Recommend
Робота дісно швидше пішла. В навігаторі можна кілька карток вибрати, потім комбінація клавіш, стрілка вниз, вибираємо відповідну мітку, ентер, вписуємо нову назву (або редагуємо - це божественно) і теж ентер. в рази швидше, ніж створювати нові мітки і видаляти старі. Рекомендую однозначно.

Tag was not renamed: "css" -> "it::css".

Hi! Sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting the add-on to work. For what it's worth, that tag replacement works perfectly well for me. Unfortunately there's little I can do to help you without more information on your Anki installation, notes, and what exact steps you took. As mentioned in the add-on description above, the best way to report issues is via GitHub or Anki's support forums. But you can also just shoot me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com. Either way, I will only be able to help you when I know more about the exact situation, as whatever issue you're facing is not something commonly present (looking at how thousands of users are using the add-on with no issues).

Perfect !! Can't believe how easy it is now to change/rename/replace tags.
For Mac Users, the keyboard short cut is : <command> + <option> + <shift> + <T> (after highlighting all the cards that you want with <command> + <A>)

Thanks!

Thank you

Updated all tags in, like, 2 seconds. Note: make sure you highlight all the cards with tags that need to be changed.

Worked perfectly, thanks for the great add on!

Small thing but helps (especialle with hierarchical tags).

Works perfectly!

Cool

It worked for me. (Anki 2.1.11 / macOS)

Doesn't worked

Hi. Sorry to hear that. I would like to help, but I cannot do so without further information. You can either submit a bug report on the official Anki forums (https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/add-ons , requires no account), or send me an e-mail at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com. That way we can then go through the proper troubleshooting steps.

Thxxxx, save a lot of time when I switch to hierarchical tags!!!!

Great addon. Saved a lot of work when switching to Hierachical tags.

Works Well:
Note previous person talking about BATCHES of tags: browse > select tag want to batch change > ctrl + a (to select all) > ctrl+alt+shift+T and change the whole batch.
(I dislike people giving negative feedback because of their own ignorance)

thank you for your work! this is super helpful!

Good

Just what I needed!
Couldn't get the keyboard shortcut to work, maybe because I'm using Mac OS screen sharing, so I was glad to see the Tags->Replace Tag menu was available.

Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. Much appreciated.

Saved me a lot of time !

Saves a lot of bother

Helps me batch-edit my tags when I import decks. I'll usually rename tags in the mainTag::subTag format so I can take advantage of hierarchical tags with the Hierarchical Tags add-on.

If the thumbs down reviewer meant there wasn't a way to batch rename one tag from all the cards with that tag in it, then that reviewer is wrong.
If the thumbs down reviewer meant there wasn't a way to batch rename all tags from one or all the cards, then that reviewer is right.
Either way, that reviewer was wrong about this add-on not being a time-saver. It saves time from having to change a certain tag in each card you've used that tag. This add-on is great in addition to the hierarchical tags.

Great addon, totally necessary if you are using hierarchical tags!

needed this!

Saved TONS of work when I was switching hierarchical tags.

It works!

No batch rename. More steps than renaming each tag individually.
















Excellent
Thanks for another very useful add-on, Glutanimate!
A detail if I may: I’d use title case in the menu (i.e. “Replace Tag…”).
