Great tool. Installed

[ahmednadir]

this was a great addon to 3.6.8 till 3.7 beta 3
but it does'nt work on beta 4 as they've added the tags phrase and others so you can't actually find and replace what you have written thier.
can you please update it for 3.7 beta4
anyway I've clicked install on both posts (in the 3.6 section and this one) as I have been using this since you bought this out! but am waiting for an update for 3.7 beta4 as this does'nt work or I have to search and replace different phrases.

thanks
kindest regards

Why on earth would someone still use beta when it's at the RC3 stage and close to going gold?! The RC3 version has many many bug fixes amongst other things over the beta version. Personally, I wouldn't support the beta versions. Time to get with the times.
