I upgraded with one od my sites from Drupal version 4 to 5.5. This site has many hundreds of pages.
Due to not optimal pathauto-settings in D4 and new possibilities in pathauto 2.0 I like to bulk update all of my aliasses, including automatic redirect of the old aliasnames.
Pathauto only has a bulk update function for node without an alias. But my old page already have an alias and now I must edit each page by hand. This will cost to much time. Can this be done by a new feature?
Thanks.

Yes, this is one of the drawbacks of the new system. I agree that as a feature it would be nice to have it update the way that you want. I don't place a high enough priority on this myself to work on it now, but if someone else wants to then they could and I'd be happy to review/commit it.

I agree this would be a great new feature. I have wanted to change my paths for a while but the only way I can see to do it for all paths is to delete all aliases, then start again (even that I have had issues with - will open a separate ticket if I can't resolve that).

Would much prefer a bulk update all aliases option which could then work with path redirect and keep the old paths working.

BTW, greggles - love your work.

@local_horst3000 - Please don't go around changing the version to suit your personal desires. Things are fixed in the latest version first and then backported (if backported at all).

Regardless, this issue is already fixed (at least for nodes) because it's possible to use the Pathauto action and Views Bulk Operations to update aliases.
