The operations run on the entire contents of the window—whether selected or not. You can highlight individual items for the purpose of selectively clearing them from the Object field, but you cannot highlight individual items for batch processing.

To run a batch edit you may click the buttons below the Object field, use the toolbar at the top of the window, or right-click a blank area of the field and use the pop-up menu.

You can populate the Object field by finding objects, dragging and dropping them from the nav tree, and copying and pasting them from the nav tree.

Each find objects, drag and drop or copy and paste operation adds to the currently-selected objects. The Batch Editor does not automatically clear items from the Objects field.

The Batch Editor runs on the items found in the current station with the ProgramService used to launch the editor. Attempting to operate on objects left over from a previous station typically causes a “not found” error.

You will find that some slots cannot be renamed or removed, unless the objects also exist on the current station. These slots appear as “frozen” on the property sheet.

Always back up the station before you start batch editing slots.
