Using WinXP + XnV 1.97.6
I have about 10k files in D:\ with categories.
I'm wanting to move them to a network drive.
I don't want to lose the categories.
What do I do?

So make a bakcup of category file
And download SQLiteBrowser (
http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/)
In t2 table you can see the files...
To change the path go to 'execute SQL' and type:
Code: Select all
update t2 set f = 'c:\new path\' || substr(f,length('e:\old path\') +1,999) where f like "e:\old path\%"
(replace 'c:\new path\' & 'e:\old path\')
