Bulk Rename Utility to rename file metadata

[Robbo247]

Hi there,

Is it possible to use the Bulk Rename Utility to rename file metadata, specifically the 'Classification' field in Windows Explorer file properties?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

BRU can read & use metadata within a file - in order to rename a file name.

But it cannot change the actual metadata within a file.

Thanks

Are there any open-source software tools that can help me batch-add 'Classification' field codes to files in Windows Explorer?

While I see that Property, Classification, I am certainly not getting a good idea of what it is for nor how to "access it"?

On my end (Win7) I'm not seeing that any of my files have "Classification" set.

Did see something about a "Classification Manager" (that is presumably a Windows feature?), but that too is for not on my end?

What OS are you on, Windows Server?

FYI, renaming / adding file tags is something we plan to add to BRU in a future release.

That would be a great feature for BRU, would you have a rough release date on this?

I'm on Windows 11

I think the "Classification" set was introduced from Windows Vista onwards. I can't manually edit the "Classification" set but can edit the 'Tags' set probably because it's in the Microsoft app properties. I want to be able to pump data into the "Classification" set in all files/folders. i.e. Uniclass Codes. https://uniclass.thenbs.com/#browse

I'm currently looking at Microsoft Purview but it would be great if BRU had this functionality. Rob
