Relocate Multiple Paths

[st11x]

Hi,

I learnt that I could use the relocate path feature should a folder change outside of the application.

In my Catalog dialog, I have these directories all hanging off the same parent.



If H:\Library was moved to D:\Library, do I have to go change each and every one of the paths? Is there a more convenient way to do this?

I opened up the DB file and saw that there is a Folders table with all the paths in it. Can I just bulk "relocate" with a SQL?

Also, what does the Delete option do? Does it remove the selected path and all assets that are tagged with categories?

thanks
Matt

yes you can change paths in Folders table with SQL request

Got it. I suppose when it comes to that, we have to do it via SQL as the UI treat each directory separate even if it's a parent and child.

I selected an entry and clicked on the Delete All to test what it will do, but selected No in the dialog that pops up. It still deleted quite a number of entries (in this case, all of the "C:\*" entries except one. I couldn't figure out the pattern.



My intention was to cancel but I selected "No" by mistake. I made backups so no worries.

thanks
