I moved about half my collection from a network hard drive to a local one, and now I can't seem to find a way to easily update the affected titles in my collection.
I tried looking in the file manager (per the FAQ) but the functionality doesn't seem to be there anymore. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?
Thanks. |

| What version do you use? Have you included the new location in the folders to be monitored? If you do, normally XMM will notice you moved the files. |

| According to the program I'm running version 8. It seems to recognize the files as new and wants to import them as such, not replace the ones in the old location. |

Do you have activated the option to actualize moved files automatically?
One thing that can't get correct by XMM: moved AND renamed files
My own settings:
Options -> Device-Scanner -> activated Checkboxes:
3 (Get Info from NFO / URL)
4 (Try to import pictures)
6 (Files already in DB)
7 (Moved Files)
8 (Recursive movies)
9 (Recursive shows)
Options: Get name out of LAST folder
Tab: More options
2 (movie titles like file name)
3 (Don't calc length)
5 (Try to import movie year)
6 (Search for missing movie files)

Unfortunately I have those settings and it still won't move the movies. The titles are all the same, as I copied the network hard drive onto an external drive on the machine.
Old movie location/title might be:
\\server\movies-1\movietitle.iso
New location title might be:
G:\movies-1\movietitle.iso

Maybe that's the problem: "\\" against "G:\"
I would try to change the "\\" into a drive letter in your database and then the recognition should work. |

No it's the other way around.
I had the movies on \\server and now they're on G:\
With the current settings all it wants to do is reimport the movies on drive G into the database. IT doesn't try to update the ones that used to be on \\server |

I think I have not said it correctly.
I would open the .mdb with Access and replace all "\\" with "G:\". Or with XMM and do a replace on all fields "\\server\" with "G:\". With XMM8 I haven't tested such replacement yet.
But another thing that is just coming in my mind: Do you have both paths included to the device scanner? |

That's what I asked initially and the answer was that XMM recognises the files as new, therefore the path should exist in DS.
I think you're right about the need to replace; but shouldn't XMM take care of it? Or is it a bug related to the server thing? |

Well, apd, but I asked if BOTH paths are integrated, not only the new one. And if the \\-path is still existing.
Maybe it's the same thought we had but due to "not perfectly" speaking english I have misunderstood...  |
