Changing links when changing categories

Changing links when changing categories
This may also be something already covered. If I've created a category and placed a number of links in that category, then need to change the category name (let's say I misspelled something), do I have to go back and modify all the links attached to that category or is there an easy way to automatically make the switch? Thanks in advance.

Currently you would have to go through and change the names of all categories that you have altered.

Perhaps a search and replace operation on links.db would do the trick?

Go to http://www.textpad.com/ download it then open your links.db then go to the tools section and then replace at the top bar cut and paste your current categorie their and the new one at the bottem, it will replace all of them, then simply upload the links.db on your server. BACK UP YOUR FILE FIRST!!!!
