Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.
MultiTagEditor works great to select all of the projects I want to change realm of, as I name all of my projects with a kind of area prefix. So, I can quickly (compared to any other method) delete one realm's tag from a set of project tiddlers and add a different realm tag to the same set of project tiddlers. I can then use 'Mis-Matched Realms' to find all of the tiddlers within those projects. This bit is much more time consuming, but I'll get there in the end. Any chance of a fix to the bug (Project realms and action realms being different) in the foreseeable future? I'd hate to spend hours changing all of these tags, and then noticed that it's fixed in an update in the not too distant future.

Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.
Definitely a good tip. I was a committed D3 user and converted my entire file over to mGTD. That's why my realms are in the state they are. I add my new entries using the correct realms, but the older ones obviously all have the default realm.

Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.
I'd bet this is your best solution. Any decent text editor will let you do Global find/replace with a find next feature where you can decide whether or not to make each specific replacement. Since you will be able to see the nearby tags, it should be pretty easy to decide. Do the whole file once for each new realm, (it will keep getting faster each time through because you're starting with fewer instances). I'll bet you can have it done in less than 20 minutes, and then use the realms mismatch view to clean it up.
