An easy way of adding a new parameter to all existing libraries in a directory?

[hkBattousai]

I have created 100+ schematic libraries (SchLib files) until now. Recently, I have learned the importance of adding "Manufacturer" and "Part Number" parameters to libraries for getting a nice view of bill of materials (BOM). Unfortunately, I have never added these two parameters to the libraries I created.

Is there an easy way of adding these two parameters to all of the libraries at once?

Use the parameter manager.

I'd recommend using your schlib files to populate a dblib or svndblib.  Once you're done (if you have separate schlib files, you're not so far off), all of your parameters will be pulled into a single location.  The way our libraries are configured, when a part is placed it will copy any filled in parameters to the part.  If you need to add a column to the database or mass update parameters it's trivial as they are all in one place.
