managing my libraries - can i edit .schlib like a spreadsheet?

[vixo]

I have a small library (the .pcblib and .schlib are separate files, never integrated them as im not sure why you would - feel free to tell me what im missing) and I want to add certain fields to every component in the .schlib and remove others, edit the names and get everything consistent without manually editing every single one in the edit window - is there a way I can edit the .schlib like a spreadhseet? I had a look at the .schlib file in notepad and it seems intelligible but I haven't found a way to do this through altium.

Is there a way I can do this?

I did skim the info about database libraries, im anticipating someone may say that's exactly what I want but it looked a bit overly complicated, maybe im wrong

oh i found it! - parameter table editor

As you've found - pcblist, schlist, and (what is it, schliblist/pcbliblist?) are my favorite features across all of Altium. Eagle is finally at least getting there, but I've done thousand-pin complex programmatic pin swapping using just schlist and Excel.

IntLib vs separate schlib/pcblib - I prefer to design every library item as a component, where a library component gets put down on schematic and board such that if I put the right symbol and wire it up in schematic, the thing that shows up in the BOM can be soldered to the board in that position and work. For most passives, this level of integration isn't terribly necessary, and I DO use generic components for that. But even then - you have to know before layout time that your "10uF 0805 unpolarized cap" actually exists in the world, and "before layout time" means schematic.
