I was able rename a bunch of tags today with your code (used the version
from TW5 Magick). It was a trivial change - tag capitalisation. It would
have been tedious to change each by hand. I thought the Tag Manager will be
able to do this natively (v 5.1.14), but no luck and while searching for a
solution, your post was the first hit. Thank you.
A question to others: Is this the best way to rename tags, any chance this
feature coming to Tag Manager?
