Another thread about copy/master handling reminded me. I occasionally have a desire to change a bunch of copies to masters, and cannot find a way to do it other than one by one.
An example scenario that has come up recently -- I have a bunch of negatives where I inverted the tone curve by hand and yielded a positive. I then bought Negative Lab Pro, and wanted to go through and re-convert them all, BUT I want to retain my original effort to compare. In a few cases it may be better.
This is all trivial -- select all, copy; select only the copies and reset-all, do the prep work for NLP and then convert. Now I have nicely stacked pairs I can compare on the library 2-up compare screen. Easy, fast, great.
Now let's say I decide all (or almost all) of them copies are better. I want to convert the copy to the master and delete the original (which is then a copy).
You can actually appear to do that -- select them all and run the Set Copy as Master, but for me it only does the most-selected image. I have to do them one by one.
Is this a feature, bug?
Is there some way to do this en-mass?
