bulk update says it "Generate aliases for all nodes without aliases" which is not what it does. I think this text might be improved now, but this is a reminder to make sure it's really really the right thing.

Title: the bulk update description is incorrect » bulk updates should only update un-aliased nodes
Status: Active » Fixed

I just committed some code to fix this. Note that it means that now folks will need to delete aliases to get a "clean slate".

I also created some documentation at http://drupal.org/node/144904 which helps explain how to use this feature (and also how to do it in a more granular way). Reviews welcome on both counts.

I'm not sure I like this change. This creates more work for an admin when for whatever reason the URL structure of a site needs to be altered.

I'm in favor of having both options: (1) bulk update only non-aliased nodes or (2) replace old aliases with new ones. Taking options away doesn't seem like progress.

Well, the problem is that the description was wrong...and now it's right :) This is what it the feature was always meant to do.

That said, I generally agree with you that taking away features is not a good idea, but am unsure how to best re-implement it. Let's focus on the discussion in http://drupal.org/node/145025

Thanks for your input on the subject!

Thanks for allaying my concerns. It never goes without saying! thank you for your hard work!

I'll start testing 5.x-2.x-dev soon and will happily provide more feedback.

Can there be a link to this section or a direct link to clear all aliases in the pathauto config? HMMM where's the delete all aliases TAB? It's not there in my 5.1 install.

@sgriffin I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. 5.1 is a Drupal version number. 5.x-1 and 5.x-2 are Pathauto versions. Which version of Pathauto are you referring to?

The delete all aliases tab is only available in Pathauto 5.x-2 and it is on the admin/build/path screen and not in the admin/settings/pathauto screen.

Your questions are pretty off topic in this issue - if you have a new question please create a new issue to discuss that item rather than adding your question to an existing issue.
