Find and Replace IPTC hangs

[JosephV]

Hola Thorsten, When I want to replace specific keywords in multiples photos, I go to the browser, select the photos, go to "find and replace IPTC data". A new window comes up with 2 boxes: Find: I enter the actual word I want to replace in all the photos selected; go to Replace with box and enter the new word i want. I hit OK. I get a floating window "File Operation" with the path of the 1st photo selected and it hangs. No further activity. If I choose the x (cancel) nothing happens. Unable to get rid of the floating window unless I quit GC. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Joe
