change location of picture folder

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2003-05-16 20:12:05

First of all huge THANKS for this beautiful piece of software!:clapping:
I'm using it for almost 4 months now and don't want anything else.

I'm not sure if it was asked before (did't find such request here) but I wonder if it possible to change location of picture folder through preferenses. I'll try to explain - I'm having a copy of my catalog on 4 different PC's now

but only on 1 of them I can use thumbnail view. I'm using a absolute link to pictures and on that PC the path to picture folder is "E:\My Documents\My Pictures\Movies" wile on other PC's disk letter may vary (like "D:\My Documents\My Pictures\Movies").
Can I just somehow simply change path to that folder instead of manually linking every single movie(about 400 of them

) to cover? Or can you implement such feature in future release?

Anyway - thank you again for you work.

It would have been better to use relative link.

You can save the catalog to xml and then edit this xml file with Notepad (or any other text editor) and do a "Replace" to replace the path (or remove it, to get relative link, e.g. remove the drive letter and keep only \My documents\my pictures\movies, it may work).

anyway, do a backup of your catalog before making such tests
