Bulk change all tags to title case
Hi, I am new to calibre and not technical. I would like to know how to bulk change all tags to title case?
I have read the search and replace section of the Calibre user manual and confess that I can not really understand it. Is there a simpller text available? My library of books has many reduntant tags that I am trying to cleanup. Can someone help please? Thank you Bill |

FWIW you only need to change 1 instance of a Tag and all the same are done.
I right click in the Tags box in the Metadata editor, change case. That box full usage is done I think that is the only place you can do a group with a couple of clicks. |

@wrbriant@gmail.c - you won't have to edit every book, once a tag has been title-cased it should be altered on all books that use it.
Do some books, then use Manage Tags (via the Alter Tag Browser button at bottom of left sidebar) to see how you're progressing. You'll probably find it easier to fix the stragglers manually, you can do that in Manage Tags via F2 on the tag name. BR |

Start with the books with the most tags, That fixes the most names
 Search: tags:#=15 adjust the number downward as you fix the results |
