Is there an easier way to change a setting for all of the feeds I have setup in autoblog then doing opening the settings for each feed and adjusting manually? I have over thirty feeds on the site I am using this for so making a global change is a real pain in the ass.
Maybe a script to change all of the appropriate values in feed_meta in the wp_autoblog table?

Why not just go directly to the wp_autoblog table and change the values there?
You could use PHPMyAdmin if you want, but I'd rather have a hot poker in my eye than use PHPMyAdmin. I find it much easier to work on a lot of database table stuff using Navicat (http://www.navicat.com/). I think they have a 30 day download as a trial, but they also have a FREE version that has less power than Navicat Premium. I use Navicat Premium and it's wonderful for working in the database. I changed 2,000 records in a table one afternoon in a few hours. It may even be able to do mass find and replace, but I've never done that.
However, I know for a fact that you could create a custom query in the query window of Navicat to do whatever you wanted.
Give that a shot and let us know what you find out. Like I said, I use it and I love it. I no longer hate working at the database level.

Hey @josh_pollock
As you already know, this isnt a feature at the moment and your best best right now is going for the database as James suggested.
Sadly the options do no show up in wp-admin/options.php as well. That would have been handy I suppose.
Moving this to the feature request forum. :)
