| All my movies etc are on an external drive, so I can use with desktop, laptop etc. It would be helpful if I could choose EMM file locations, they are all on my main pc in the C: drive (databases and related media). I`ve tried copying the databases to my laptop but the EMM program there will not recognise them. - Thanks |

For me that works perfectly.
Do you have copied the database incl. all related subfolders to your laptop?
Then Main Menu -> Files -> Open Database. Just go to the correct folder and open the database...
*EDIT*
Sorry, you think of the movie files itself?
Then you have the option to automatically correct the file path. As example when there is changed the drive letter or the folder. |
In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again.

Alessio,
Yep I did saw that option. The reason i was asking the question is that it didn't work. I entered replace "I:\" by "K:\" but none of the movie file locations are updated (I'm using Manager 9)
If I do a manual update (Movie --> Edit ...) then it works, but that isn't really an option for hundred of entries.
While, sure, I can edit directly the *.mdb, wondering if there is a troubleshooting log trace file to understand why teh replace isn't operational.
