Edit meta data for many files

You could filter all your photos by a tag, e.g. John Doe, then select all
and type the photographer's name. But with 200 places and 50 photographers
that will take you a while...

And yes, I'd probably revert to the command line for such a job. Depending
on your tag structure a script or maybe exiftool could possibly copy a
tag's content to a meta field automagically.
