"Too many files to process" when changing keywords in the Thesaurus

I keep getting a message saying "There are too many files to process. These changes cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?" Or something to that affect.

One of the reasons I upgraded to this new version was that the changes to the thesaurus supposedly would be applied to the whole database.  Is this not happening because there are too many files to process?  That cannot be the case, but I thought I would get some clarification.

This is just a warning in case you accidentally selected to many files. You can continue and apply the changes, but you won't be able to undo the changes.

Correct.

This is of course mentioned in the corresponding help topic: Updating Keywords in the Database from Thesaurus Changes

The message you saw reads:

This operation cannot be undone.
There are too many files to process.
Do you still want to apply changes to keywords?


If you find the wording unclear, feel free to add a post in the feature request board with a suggestion for better wording.

OK, so it is only warning you that it cannot be undone, not that it is not applying the changes.  Good.  I guess reading it again it makes sense. Thank you both for clarifying!
