Uwe,

After updating to version 6.0, build 6375 (29e744b), code replacement no longer works

I just tried it in the Metadata (IPTC) Info window and it worked fine.  Where are you trying to use it?  What is your Code Replacement delimiter character?  Did anything change in your Code Replacement text files?

Your screenshot looks like your code replacement file should work. It is difficult to know for sure that it is formatted correctly, as it is not possible to distinguish between a tab and spaces in the screenshot. However, given that it has worked previously, we can probably assume it is formatted correctly.

You mentioned that code replacements do not work. What happens when you attempt to use one of the codes in your file? Does the code and its delimiters simply remain in the field you are typing in? Does it disappear as soon as you type the closing delimiter?

Have you attempted to create a new Code Replacement file as a test?

Happy to troubleshoot through the forum, but we may find a resolution faster if you give us a call:
