Global find and replace

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Global replace With regexp support in the future

REAL WORLD USE CASES

replace file://G:\seeObsidian with file://G:\stuff globally

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

export everything as files perform replace and then import back; Though I haven’t tried this. Or manually replacing in objects one by one Without Find and replace that’d be hard even within an object

Surely useful in some situations.
But also as dangerous as a gun!
Especially with regex involved.

We have Links, we have Markdown, we have Embeds …
I foresee many possible conflicts.

Also a point is the undo feature by pressing Ctrl + z.
Each modified page must be automatically saved before applying the replacement, so that an undo is possible. That will need time and consume a lot space if many Pages have to be modified.
