Find/Replace

Ex. I'd like to change "Im A Believer" to "I'm A Believer" and "Im Yours" to "I'm Yours" at the same time by replacing all "Im"'s in titles with "I'm"'s. With 10k songs it would take me an eternity to go through them all individually.

Is there any way to do this?

We are adding this into Version 4.31, starting tomorrow.

We can keep leading and trailing spaces.

We'll add a "Find Replace" button at the Edit Song dialog bottom, to the right of the "Apply Change" button. When clicked, it will display a modeless dialog with the following controls:

1. A "Find" button that auto-renames to "Find Next" after the first find.

2. A "Replace" button that does the replacement, then finds the next occurrence, ready for you to replace it and find the next. This is a manual review, assisted to show you what the next "match" looks like. If it shows you something that you didn't expect to match, click "Find Next" not "Replace".

3. A "Replace All" when you are absolutely sure you string won't match unwanted strings/words. This will happen very quickly, and will have NO undo.

4. A "Find:" field and a "Replace:" field.
